### 5/5 — Best App for agility trials

*2026-03-24, version 1.1.5*

I love using this app when I am at two or occasionally three ring trials. It saves me running from ring to ring and figuring out when my dog needs to standby and when we can just wait and take a break. In addition, it contains the maps for the day so you can look at them in the morning before you even get to the trial. Love it! Wish every trial used it.

### 4/5 — Bug when you open a different app

*2025-12-14, version 1.1.5*

When you have agility gate open on iPhones and go to a different app or screen it resets the run order on agility gate. You either need to change runs and go back or close app and restart it. Will this ever get fixed? It’s been an issue since summer. Otherwise, no complaints.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2024-06-26, version 1.1.3*

This app is soooo convenient at a trial. Gate sheets and course maps in the same place make life a little easier at a busy trial. My only complaint is that I wish more trials used this.

### 4/5 — Really nice app

*2023-11-05, version 1.1.3*

As a new agility competitor this is really helpful to keep us informed on progress toward our turn. What would be SUPER HELPFUL would be two enhancements: 1) estimated time to a competitor’s time (use std estimated run time+in/out time) so we would have a very rough approximation of when to warm up etc. Currently I have to manually add # of dogs to know if we are 1 or 2 hrs out. 2) Having results posted would be super also. PDF’s of scoring for each class like the printouts that are physically pinned up. Sometimes you don’t remember to go and take a picture of a score sheet.
Thanks!!

### 5/5 — SO HELPFUL!!

*2023-10-18, version 1.1.3*

For trials both big and small, this app makes staying organized and showing up to run at the right time a breeze. I am both a competitor and a trial photographer so features like maps, marking conflicts, and getting a pdf of the run order with dog and handler names are all incredibly helpful. I LOVE when trials use this app, such an awesome tool! (Thanks Roger!!)

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2023-02-04, version 1.1.0*

The most important thing to me when it comes to software is simplicity and reliability.  I would give previous versions four stars for simplicity but 2 stars for reliability.  It's frustrating when one comes to rely on this app but it does not function.

### 4/5 — Couldn’t use today cuz update

*2023-01-19, version 1.1.0*

If you’re going to update, especially a minor one, don’t prevent access until users  update. 
At a trial this weekend, went to use it and couldn’t—and there’s no Wi-Fi at the site so it wouldn’t update. In general a very helpful app but I was not a happy camper on Saturday!

### 1/5 — Freezes up

*2022-11-12, version 1.0.18*

This app stinks.

### 3/5 — When it works it’s amazing

*2022-11-12, version 1.0.18*

LOVE THIS APP…when it works.  Used for a year and reliable and excellent when Inhad a signal.  However, they lit coders don’t keep up orb iPhones.  In th last 3 months I mostly get the logo, then a grey screen.  I delete and re-download which rarely works.  I turn off my phone and on, and then SOMETIMES it works, other times it won’t load the trial list as I stand next to a Samsung user that works on the same exact carrier and signal.  Used to work 99% of the time with a little tinkering and downloading, but recently 25%.  Fix the lack of iPhone support and I’ll revise my rating…the last 2 months are a disaster for this app being desired to use at trials (I’m a trial chair) as 50% or so of our exhibitors have iPhones.

### 3/5 — Can we get this in Europe?

*2022-11-03, version 1.0.18*

We were unable to download and use on an iPhone from Belgium. Any way to share this with our friends in Europe?
