Cool… But Problem Using a SIRT
This is a nice, basic dryfire tool. However, when using a SIRT’s take-up laser, it counts it as a shot. I’m not surprised but it kind of negates the purpose of using that function of the SIRT while using this app. That is, unless I’m missing some sort of setting that I don’t know about 🤷🏼♂️

SIRT has a constant laser pulse. You should release trigger fast and use iMarksmanship option to see the gun movement. Try CLIP-N-Shoot from https://idryfire.com/products/clip-n-shoot-idryfire-target
Simple and awesome
Stuck five black dots on an off-white, eggshell wall with normal interior lighting. Worked brilliantly from the getgo. Had the camera about six feet away from the target (on a counter a couple feet to the right), hit Start, walked to the other end of the hall (~30 feet) and fired away. Super Cool. No idea what the bad reviews are about. And this is using an old iPhone SE, hardly state of the art. We’ll see how it translates to the range but this is pretty fun. Lasers are cool and a LOT less expensive than rounds at the moment. Just gotta git me one of them 200w laser bazookas. ;-) The app is well worth the money.
Feature request: let the user define the center of the target and how far away other parts of the target are (in my case four dots up/down/R/L from center dot). Would let the app do basic shot analysis... eg how many shots were x inches away, do you consistently pull your first shot, etc
Also, have different colors for each shot. Make it easier to see at a glance where your first, 2nd, 3rd, etc shot placed.

Thank you for your review. We will add requested changes to the next release.
Review
I downloaded it and hit start.
The thing is recording several shots like a demo. It ignores my shots entirely

Hello Jim, Apparently the environment was to bright or shiny objects were in front of the camera. It should help: https://madmimi.com/p/13c6211/preview
Quality tool
This app performs exactly as described. Drop any laser cartridge in the chamber. Put your phone on a tripod and point it at a spot on the wall. Push start and draw at the buzzer. Dry fire isn’t fun, but it’s hugely beneficial. This app makes it more productive.

Records shots I am not making
I downloaded this app on 4/15/2020. I also just purchased a SIRT and targeting system from iDryfire. I purchased these to enhance my own shooting and that of my firearms students.
Both the App and Computer software records shots that I am not taking. Example: I am standing out of view of the camera, it starts, the. Before I move, “bang, bang, bang, bang” and shots showing on screen. I never pulled the trigger. When I do shoot, I shoot twice and it records several more shots.
Also, I like many others, do not live or train in outer space. Being told “your background is to light” by the app developers or novice shooters who bought this as a game is laughable. I am a former US Army Special Forces operator who is now a full time firearms instructor. This is not a useful training tool if it requires specific studio settings or a dark room. I should not have to find a room with black painted walls and turn off all the lights for this to work properly, especially for $13.00 USD and especially after paying $375 for the iDryfire gun and laser targeting system. The inability of this app to function in normal settings should be advertised.
One last thing, how about some feedback other than “update and consider changing your review”

I’m happy with it.
I decided to go out on a limb and purchase this software. If used others, and so far this is the one I enjoy most. I wish there was an option to zoom, so my smaller dryfire targets can fill more of the screen. I’m curious what the red lines represent that are attached to the impact marks from the laser.
Update: the red lines from point of impact represent muzzle movement after the shot. I’m still using this app frequently and am finding it to be the best out there. Very reliable.

The red strike shows you the tendency of the gun movement after your shot
I like this app!
Simple interface and operation. Point iPad at wall / target, press “start” and a buzzer sounds. Begin shooting with laser device. Shots register on screen with a ka-chung. After firing-set view screen to see group(s). Review each individual shot by tapping screen. Shot count and time are displayed sequentially for reference. Makes it easy to work on shooting basics without spending money on ammo. I like this app!
Adjustable lead-in time, firing-set time, and goal number for shots. Can also save “target” results to iPad Photos. Have used thrice, so don’t yet know if any other features exist.
For $10 and ease of use, it seems to be a worthwhile companion to, say, a SIRT pistol or AR bolt.

The Easiest way to practice
Very simple and easy to set up. Records shots and time. Offers discounts on the dry fire practicing products. Like it a lot.
Works but lacking
Just downloaded thinking there was going to be a little more to this app over other free ones. You have to go to the phone to initiate a new round which is a hassle. Also you have to change your phone settings to keep your screen on the app does not do that for you. If this would have had a free trial that lasted 15 minutes I would have not spent the 10 dollars on the app and would have kept using free Hitlaser instead.

Hello and thank you for your input. You can select more than one round to shoot. No changes required in order to use the app.
Easy tool to practice dry firing anywhere
I found this app very intuitive to use and that the previous reviews have been solved with this new update.
