arshooterxm15 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Any iPhone users have the Shot Timer Application? If so, can you provide feedback? I am considering purchasing it but thought I would get some opinions first. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Shooter Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I tried the timer provided by Taurus on the Iphone.....It's pretty cool. having said that I still prefer my Pact Timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibby Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I have the Surefire one and it was free. Not as good as a real timer, but it's okay for dryfire and practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 With the sure fire you can crank the sensitivity and silence the buzzer and time the shooters on your squad during a match. Not always the best idea but you can see what they are doing the course in and their splits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arshooterxm15 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 I downloaded the one by Taurus and the Surefire one, both seem good...will have to test them on the range. There is another one called "Shot Timer PRO", it is $9.99, does anyone have any experience with this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryO Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I got the Surefire app. and it was free. Works OK, but really best for dryfire. Mine has a bug though that I can't get rid of. Every once in awhile instead of the horn sound it will give me a sound of a bunch of crickets, are crickets bugs or insects lol. I have to close the app and reopen and it works fine again until the crickets show up again. Usually happens maybe once per dryfire session.

Especially if its one of those shooters that takes forever getting ready in the box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_me_Tom Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have both the Surefire and the Shot Timer PRO. The Shot Timer PRO is a waste of money as it'll literally pick up everyone else except for your own shots. This happened to me repeatedly no matter where I placed the iphone in relation to my pistol. The Surefire does a good job for what it is but it will pick up others shots and miss yours on occasion. What the Surefire excels in is practicing dryfire.

arshooterxm15 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Since the Surefire app and the one by Taurus were free, I downloaded them. I also went ahead and purchased the Shot Timer PRO. I will mainly be using them on private property for practice and won't have the added background, so hopefully I won't experience some of the issues posted here. I have a match Saturday and won't get back to the range until next week. I will report back then. Thanks for all the feedback on the apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjeepguy Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Please let us know which one you like the best and why? Surefire... It's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_striker Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Surefire one works well and is free. Unless you have an Iphone 4, which it's not compatible with. The Taurus app works well, but there is an annoying confirmation screen every time you want to clear a string and start a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downrange58 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I use the Surefire for Air soft training and it works great My Surefire works great for my Air Soft training as well! It didn't work well on my first iphone, but works great on my new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake32 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 i have open shot timer and shot clock. i dont care for either one. the buzzer on both are not loud enough. i will be trying others soon although i recomend a good timer and not an app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinz Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I have the both of the free ones, Surefire and Taurus. The buzzer on the Surefire covers more frequency range than the Taurus. The Taurus is just a beep whereas the Surefire is a Buzz. If you have any High frequency hearing loss, which you will eventually get from shooting, especially if you hang around or shoot compensated guns; then the Surefire if better. But good luck hearing them with good ear protection, or especially double ear protection. If you use electronice ear protection, no problem.

Moss_Berg5150 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) I have the surefire timer and actually followed around the RO at one of hour matches, using the RO's as the primary I can only recall my iphone being, slightly off once, other than that it was dead on. I did find however it is best to keep the mic pointed directly at the shooter. Edited October 18, 2010 by Moss_Berg5150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTalionis Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I've had problems with my Surefire app only recording 10 rounds and not picking up anything after that. For dry fire, I use iDryFireTrainer. It can't detect your shots, but it has quite a bit of versatility regarding par times. You can program strings of different drills back to back.

waktasz Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I've had problems with my Surefire app only recording 10 rounds and not picking up anything after that. For dry fire, I use iDryFireTrainer. It can't detect your shots, but it has quite a bit of versatility regarding par times. You can program strings of different drills back to back. You have to scroll down in the surefire app to see the rest of the shots after the 10th one. I thought the same thing at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.Duck Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) i downloaded it but I can't get it to make a buzzer. My volume is all the way up and it says it works with the ipod touch.........what do I need to do for the buzzer? With 3rd Gen and older iPods you have to plug in the headphones provided with the iPod, they have a mic on them that pics up your shots. IPhones obviously have a mic built in. You won't hear the buzzer with any other headphones, not sure why. I believe 4th Gen's have a mic built in so they may work without the headphones, I'll check it out on my wife's new iPod. ETA: You can hear the buzzer without the headphones on. I use electronic ear pro but haven't tried it with EP3's or plugs.

ButterFace Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I have the surefire app and use it all the time it works great for practice. I second this. The surefire app is awesome! you can even set the sensitivity to where you don't pick up the guys sooting next to you if your at a bench. The fact that it is free is even cooler. Some buddies of mine and I run stages with them all the time. You can even email the data to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin rick Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Surefire one works well and is free. Unless you have an Iphone 4, which it's not compatible with. The Taurus app works well, but there is an annoying confirmation screen every time you want to clear a string and start a new one. I have an IPhone 4 and the surefire app seems to be working fine. Maybe they have updated since your post. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
