What's New in Blast Buddy
4.3.0
November 2, 2026
Fewer false shots, a live sensitivity test, dry fire training and a recap after every run. FEWER FALSE SHOTS Shot detection was rebuilt around your iPhone's microphone: echoes, ringing steel and the start beep no longer count as shots, and Bluetooth earbuds no longer take over the microphone. SENSITIVITY WITH A LIVE TEST Settings › Sensitivity shows what the timer hears while you shoot, with five levels and an echo filter, so you can tune detection in seconds. DRY FIRE TRAINING Choose Dry Fire as your gun type to time an unloaded gun, a laser cartridge or a SIRT-style trainer. If your trigger is too quiet, the timer offers to raise sensitivity. Your gun type is now remembered. A RECAP AFTER EVERY RUN Shots, total time and best split appear under the timer as soon as you stop, compared with your previous run. Tap it to open the session.
