### 4/5 — Personal Bests?

*2024-10-06*

Would be a 5 Star if there was a way to view personal bests for each round shot.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-01-24, version 2.1*

Great app

### 4/5 — Good app

*2022-08-02, version 2.1*

Would be awesome to have ABA (Australian Bowhunters association) round scores added. And the option for their paper target round and also 3D round using the same scoring sheet below (animal targets and 3D targets 3 arrow round and 1 arrow round) 
                    1.           2.          3.    Arrow number
A zone      20.        14.        8
B zone      18.         12.        6
C zone      16.         10.        4

### 5/5 — Totally Worth It!!!

*2022-03-27*

As attached as we are to our phones these days this is all you need to keep up with your score on the range! No need for bulky clipboards and score sheets while practicing!
It’s fast, convenient and easy to use!

### 5/5 — Best score keeper

*2021-12-28*

I have used this app for a long time and rely on it. It is great that it has all the rounds already set, yet let’s you make up your own. Unlike some others, it lets you store sight marks too, which is very convenient. The scorecard display and entry keyboard is the best I have seen. The emailed scores also look great.
There are improvements I would like to see. First, I have to make several’archer’ entries since sight marks are different for X7 and X10 arrows, and with different limbs, but you can only select one to display scores.
Next, it would be good to include a way to work out your handicap.
Next, PB scores and season best, and maybe a display that tells you your current stand so (1st class, bowman, etc).
Given sight marks at some distances, a calculation of estimated sight marks at other distances using ballistics calculations would be useful.
Overall, best archery scorekeeper.

### 5/5 — Review

*2021-07-11*

Superb App. Easy to use and has all standard targets plus easy to set up Customised targets. Great archery tool

### 5/5 — Been looking for something like this for a while.

*2021-06-30*

So far this seems like a great app. I would love to have a little more customization when it comes to the scoring and the score card. But other than that it’s great!

### 5/5 — KzoneAl

*2021-05-29, version 2.1*

Great App

### 5/5 — We Love scoring with ArrowNautics

*2021-03-07*

Thank you for another great update. Dark mode looks great. I’ve been using ArrowNautics for years and it’s still the best archery scoring app I’ve found.

### 5/5 — Update!!

*2021-02-28, version 2.1*

Yay!! An Update!! Tie breakers!! Best scoring app ever, have been using it almost every day for years👍😃🏹

### 4/5 — Great app

*2019-06-27, version 2.0*

Love the app. I do agree there should be a way to backup your data. Also would be absolutely awesome if you developed a way to use the Apple Watch with the app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-01-28, version 2.0*

I really like the ease of the app never had a problem. With S3DA growing like to see more of there targets on here. Also I use it for team tracking scores and averages. Email option is great I would like to be able to send it via Twitter or Facebook page.

### 5/5 — A GREAT ARCHERY APP

*2018-12-23, version 2.0*

Does exactly what any archer would want it to do; easily and quickly.

### 5/5 — How to contact developer

*2018-12-02*

Love the app, best app I have bought and is worth every cent ! I was wondering how to contact the developer as the website no longer works and I have a question about the app

**Developer response:** Glad to hear you’re enjoying ArrowNautics. Feel free to email support@ArrowNautics.com or use the email link within the app.

### 5/5 — Great app for iPhone archers!

*2018-09-03, version 2.0*

Been using this app for several months and it’s been easy to use and a terrific way to keep score. Plenty of good features and most importantly fast to use in the field under time pressure with a tab hanging off your finger.  Recommended. Recent update brings it up to speed with WA rounds etc.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can't setup event because of app closing

*2018-03-30, version 1.7*

Can't even get my first event setup because the app keeps closing on me. So I assume the rest of the app is garbage also. Uninstall

### 1/5 — Crashes every time.

*2015-04-27, version 1.6*

Requested help since program crashes constantly.  Doesn't work well with 8.3.  A fix is coming. Work around is to open and close screens in specific order.

### 1/5 — Dont even bother

*2012-09-05, version 1.5*

This is just a huge waste of money.
Missing GNAS indoor rounds.
Not as easy to use as others. 

Put simply, just buy iArcher. It is easier to use and has every round you could need, all while been a lot nicer to look at.

### 2/5 — Overrated

*2018-08-10, version 1.7*

Instructions not clear. Menus not easy to follow.

### 2/5 — Mediocre at best

*2016-11-03, version 1.7*

The app doesn't allow you to sort archers for scoring order.  No export to a spreadsheet or CSV file.  Clunky UI in general.  It works, but it's not pleasant to use.

### 3/5 — Good at the basics

*2026-04-28, version 2.3*

Good at the basics for scoring ends and each archers but doesn’t give Archery GB classifications or handicaps. Also cannot therefore assign Archery GB age classifications or split men and women.

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2024-03-18, version 2.2*

It’s a good idea but lacking polish for how much is being charged.

Missing lots of target types and event types. I have also noticed that on some screens the window is not resizing to fit on my phone. Hopefully will improve over time.

### 3/5 — Some features missing

*2019-12-23*

Easy for scoring but disappointing that you can’t see your PB or at the very least sort your scores by rounds

### 3/5 — Good but Pricey

*2019-01-14*

I basically wanted an app to input scores in for when me and my dad shoot together. The notebook we used was falling apart and this seemed like a sensible choice due to the high reviews. 
As a scoring app it does what it needs to and does it well, but for £9.99 I did expect a little more bang for my buck. As a minimum I’d have wanted to be able to input which type of bow each archer was using. It would also be nice to have the option of being able to plot arrow positions on a target to track grouping. I know you can add photos but it’s not the same. If it could do these I’d say it was perfect but it loses two stars as a result - one for the price and one for the lack of additional features that other (cheaper) apps have.

### 3/5 — Disappointing

*2018-12-17, version 2.0*

I had heard a lot of good about this app, but am a bit disappointed so far. 
 I see there are quite a few rounds missing. 
I can’t find the FITA/WA field rounds, it also is missing the four AA target rounds introduced at the beginning of 2017, namely the AA50/1440, AA40/1440, AA50/720 and the AA40/720. 
It also only has the compound clout distance of 180 metres, and is missing the recurve and longbow clout rounds (165m and 145m respectively).
I shoot multiple equipment types, so would like to be able to assign which bow I’m using for which event. 
Apart from these glaring oversights, it seems OK, but I haven’t seriously played with it yet.

### 5/5 — We Love scoring with ArrowNautics

*2026-06-08*

Thank you for another great update. The Target Faces visuals are wonderful and so many to choose from. Dark mode looks great. I’ve been using ArrowNautics for years and it’s still the best archery scoring app I’ve found.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2025-08-17*

Great app!! 🥰

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-04-03*

Excellent app, easy to use even for visually impaired. Would definitely recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Great for Field Archery

*2024-01-30*

Thought I'd try this for practice rounds of field Archery and once I had mastered the method of setting up each non standard round I shoot (trial and error) it was easy to use. Could do with instructions on how to set up custom rounds in future.

### 5/5 — I’ve used a few Archery apps

*2024-01-30*

… this is my favorite so far.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-01-04*

Well done, flexible and easy to use application. Works well for group scoring.

### 5/5 — Spot On!

*2023-12-22*

Simple, easy to use, wide range of rounds to select and great for recording the emailing score sheets, single or multi archer.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-12-04*

Been using this for years now. It’s never crashed on me and is easy to use.

### 5/5 — Good could be even better

*2023-10-13*

I have been using this App for just over a year for Target and Field Archery. It’s really well designed and easy to use, but could be even better with a few tweaks and extra features. In target archery such as the GNAS rounds you can enter the names of witnesses, but it would be better if their was also a signature box where they could actually sign on the screen and then their signature and mine could be displayed on your scorecard under their name. Also a box to enter notes or comments which could then also appear on the scorecard. In Field, ie the NFAS Rounds, the ability to choose the number of targets, some have 2x20, others may be 2x18 and score them as novelty targets when you arrive eg, Predator & Prey or other multiple shots in a single target. Lastly their is no way to score Wasp Pegs which count double points if hit. I hope you can take this constructively, incorporate these features and keep up the good work. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-03-17, version 2.1*

Excellent app, easy to use even for visually impaired. Would definitely recommend this app.
