First, had to upgrade the firmware. That’s ok. I had enough signal that it was a non issue but: 1 - told me I had to update the firmware but then drove me to updating the app when the app was already up to date. 2 - to my surprise, all my guns have been wiped out of the app. I know I’m on a developer version of iOS but wiping out customer data is always a no go! Bottom line, had to do my session without timer. Frustrating! ### 2/5 — Not connecting to the App. *2026-07-18* Switch out to a different rifle and trying to connect to the app to calibrate , but won’t connect, deleted the app and trying to download but it won’t download the app. Followed the instructions but still not working. Lastly I wish they can make the attachment that comes with is 1913 picatini ready, I have to carnal the thumb screw really hard in order to not move under recoil On plus side pretty bright and accurate, but only when it works **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you're experiencing these issues. Please contact us at support@shooters.global so we can investigate why the app won't download and why you're unable to connect your device. We'll do our best to help you resolve the problem. Also, please note that calibration can be performed directly on the SG Pulse, so you don't need the app to calibrate it. We're glad to hear you're happy with the brightness and accuracy when using the device. ### 4/5 — Good app, adding features to your devices *2026-07-13* Good to see meaningful firmware updates that actually add features to something you already own. Connection is seamless and quick and the app is really easy to use. They fixed the “firmware update” issue. Of course you still can’t connect to the device but it saves your session and transfers it back to the app after you update the firmware. Only annoying bug is when your firmware is out of date you get about 5 popups telling you it needs an update in a row. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you're enjoying the new features and that the firmware update process has improved. We also appreciate you pointing out the repeated update notifications—we'll share that feedback with our development team. If you ever have any questions or run into any connection issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@shooters.global. We'll be happy to help! ### 4/5 — Great Timer App *2026-05-29* Timer and App are really useful tools. Please add the ability to “clear all shots and markers” from the shotisize editor. The AI function marks so many false shots and doesn’t accurately capture my double taps. It would be less hassle to clear everything at once and just manually drop them in. Sensitivity setting hasn’t really improved the process at all. Would be 5 stars from me if that’s implemented. ### 2/5 — Moving backwards *2026-03-16* I am an original purchaser form when the Ukraine war started and delayed shipping It seems with a lot of “ upgrades” the freestanding. Use of the shot timer gets worse. It is teathered to the phone. And has less use. Drills will not show up on the timer without the phone and they want too much personal information. KISS keep it simple stupid needs to happen with this timer. I am going to have to replace it **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Over time, we’ve added many new features, which is why the phone connection has become more important for full functionality. Regarding personal data - it is used to improve the user experience and to ensure you have access to your data across devices. We truly value your feedback, and it would help us a lot if you could share more details about what exactly doesn’t meet your expectations. Please feel free to contact our support team at support@shooters.global so we can better understand your concerns and assist you further. ### 3/5 — Issues *2026-03-08, version 3.3.1* Adding or editing in the “My Guns” section triggers a non-responsive loop. iOS 26.3 iPhone 16Pro with the latest version of the Drills app. ### 2/5 — Spyware without option *2026-02-26* The concept is cool, but it is ruined by the app constantly requiring log in without option and constantly asking to send notifications. Videos are automatically stored to the cloud and the user is left with little choice in any of these matters. This would’ve 5 stars if you could use it without a log in and without notifications… unfortunately they want to track you and sell your data, so 2 stars it is 🤷‍♂️ **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Logging in is necessary so you can save your drills in your profile, track your statistics, and use the stage builder. We don’t send excessive notifications—these are only recommended so you can be informed about available updates, for example. As for video uploads, you can manage this in the app settings. Please be assured that we do not sell any data—these features exist solely for your convenience and to provide a wide range of functionality for you in the app. ### 4/5 — Persistent Notifications *2026-01-22* Love where the app is heading. Big fun. The issue I am having is every time I open the app it wants me to enable notifications. I don’t want to enable notifications. It asks like 4-5 times then I can click into another page. Then it will ask again. If we could get that fixed that would be AMAZING! ### 1/5 — Nach neuestem Update nicht mehr nutzbar *2025-11-12* Seit dem Update heute öffnet sich die App und schließt sich automatisch wieder. Leider scheinbar durch das Update nicht mehr zu nutzen. **Developer response:** We are sorry this happened after the update. To help you as quickly as possible, please write to us at our support team support@shooters.global and we will do everything we can to fix this issue for you. Thank you for letting us know, and we are here to help. ### 1/5 — Feedback *2025-11-12, version 3.2.0* Application is continuously crashing on starting after last update ### 4/5 — Almost perfect. *2025-11-12* I hesitated to not give it 5 stars, I think it’s certainly a better system than the average shows it as. My one complaint is the difficulty in setting up matches, a guest mode would be great, not everyone I shoot with has an account. The app also had some struggles with me adding personal information. Overall, the app and my SG GO are awesome. My draw time has gone from around 1.8-2.0 seconds to 1-2-1.5 in just a month of dry fire. Still getting used to live fire modes, but those have been great too! **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback. Regarding the option to add match participants without accounts – we plan to implement this in the future, though we don’t have a timeframe yet. We’re glad to hear about your progress! ### 4/5 — Red *2025-10-26, version 3.1.4* - Sometime do not react on finish timing on sg2, to stop recording - missing option for timeplus - not able to create multiple match to keep logs from training to training - not able to export multiple clips at the same time - ### 3/5 — great timer terrible app *2025-10-25, version 3.1.4* app crashes continuously sometimes won't ever open timer is great 5/5 app 0/5 crashes randomly sometimes fails to record even though it said it was ### 4/5 — Враження у парі з SG Timer Go *2025-10-13, version 3.1.3* Якщо налаштування таймеру на телефоні не викликають проблем, то режим “Матч” просто вибив із колії вимогою що усі учасники повинні мати аккаунт у Drills. Я просто влаштував матч із товаришами, які не мають таймеру SG, відповідно їм нідочого аккаунт у Drills… Закінчилось усе тим, що використовували старий-добрий PractiScore 2. Дивне рішення. Ще більш дивною є вимога заповнення усіх полів профілю. Не лише імʼя, а й прізвище, країна і т.д. НАЩО? От нащо? Увесь інший функціонал що стосується таймера, оновлення його ПЗ та збережених вправ - цілком собі ок. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-10-13, version 3.1.3* Updating my review to one star. I updated the firmware on the shot timer a few days ago only to discover that all of my session history was gone. The developers clearly have not learned a fundamental software dev lesson that you do not mess with user data. I will be recommending against purchasing any product from this company to anyone I know. ### 1/5 — Impossible de se connecter *2025-10-09* L’application nous dis que le jetons n’a pas pu être créé impossible d’utiliser l’application ### 3/5 — Freezing *2025-10-04, version 3.1.2* Scrolling through the feed causes the app to become unresponsive. ### 3/5 — Вирішіть проблеми будь-ласка *2025-09-30, version 3.1.1* AR не працює на моєму iPhone 14 Pro Max. Вже біля тижня не можливо побудувати схему в Stage builder. А так ідея дуже хороша і таймер працює на відмінно ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I really want to like it *2026-07-22* I really wanna like this thing. The problem is it is full of bugs that don’t get fixed. You can delete a whole bunch of drills and next time you start up they’re back. If you’re synced to the iPhone and control it with the sg2 you have wonderful things like it duplicate your drill in the iPhone, but the title will be slightly different. Do you think this wouldn’t be a problem except it keeps doing it. Next would be when it doesn’t start properly doesn’t give you a ready Signal it just starts rolling. It will also switch from whatever drill you’re in to free running when you start it sometimes from the SG2. When you report bugs, they’ll tell you to make a video and that they can’t duplicate any of the errors. Like I’m gonna be making a video of something with a second iPhone to video. What’s going on in my one iPhone while I’m shooting. Get real. So yeah, don’t buy this thing. ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2026-07-21, version 3.5.1* Unfortunately, I bought this allegedly awesome timer that sinks to the Drills app, but it won’t even let me login. It repeatedly comes up in air as URL session failed: network connection was lost. Even though I am connected to Wi-Fi and have full strength in signal. ### 1/5 — Link loop *2026-07-09, version 3.5.0* Open the app to a pop up to update the app. Click the pop up to the store to find I’ve got the latest version. Click open in the App Store to open the latest version to the popup to update the app. Fix please ### 1/5 — No longer supported *2026-06-14, version 3.4.5* I can no longer connect my SG timer to the app because it says the timer’s software is out of date. I can’t update the timer because it says I have to confirm the update on the timer. When I open the app it locks the timer in RO mode and I can’t confirm the update. All this before a class tomorrow. ### 1/5 — App crashes - won't start - among others *2026-04-22, version 3.4.0* Wish this worked better - app is always crashing - half the time when you record video it only records the first round in a set - now the app won't even open and just crashes ### 1/5 — This new feature doesn't look very user-friendly.Identification is not very accurate either. *2026-04-15, version 3.4.0* Spend another $4.99/month to buy an inaccurate SG timer? ### 1/5 — This requires an account to use :( *2026-03-04, version 3.3.1* I hope whomever developed this app and required me to share data with them falls down an elevator shaft like Daffy Duck. ### 1/5 — awful *2026-03-04, version 3.3.1* almost every time i launch this app it updates. it’s so common and so annoying. easily one of worst apps ive ever experienced ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-02-27* I don’t have the shot timer yet, but I’ve been unable to set up my firearms in my profile in the app. When I try to select a field, nothing happens. If I try to flip the app closed to reset it, it’ll suddenly select the field. Even then, however, it saves only some selections. Trying to swipe back to higher levels ends up in a continuous loop that just keeps showing the same empty gun descriptions. I don’t have high hopes that it’ll work well with the shot timer. I hope the shot timer works well enough by itself, though I had hopes that the app would make setting it up easier. ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-02-18, version 3.3.0* Added pairing to eliminate interoperability. The app that dos everything equally bad, like a Swiss Army knife. Would not hit again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The ultimate partner for practical shooting *2026-04-16* The SG timer and the Drills app are the best tools for tracking your progress in practical shooting. It would be even better if you could import match information from the PractiScore website; combined with the SHOTIZE feature, this will be a real game changer. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-04-15* I use this app every time I go to the range. I put my phone on a tripod with a gimble on top that has an AI camera tracker. Seeing yourself shoot with shot time has been one of the biggest factors to my improvement at a shooter. Can’t believe the current rating. Has to be user error. ### 5/5 — Bester Timer! *2025-08-19* Heute den Timer bekommen. Super einfach zu bedienen! Fantastische Trockendrills sind damit möglich. Jedes Click vom Abzug wird akkurat erfasst. Top Empfehlung. Dazu der Gürtelclip der den Timer Bombenfest am Gürtel hält. Und das Display zeigt nach oben! ### 5/5 — Gave feedback, they listened *2025-07-02* I have to say shooters global blew me away on this one. Offline mode was broken. I sent messages to support, provided proof via video, and they listened! They used the info to update the app, fix the problem, and even wrote me back to let me know it was resolved. Seriously blew me away. Great experience. **Developer response:** Thank you so much – we're really glad we could help and appreciate your kind feedback! ### 5/5 — Excellent timer *2025-05-06, version 3.0.12* This is the best timer for the money it cost ### 5/5 — For the serious competitor *2025-04-22* It’s obvious to me that the team behind this App and platform are dedicated to improving the performance of its shooters. I very much enjoy the video shot timer overlay. ### 5/5 — Timer super, App instabil *2025-03-29* Die App ist ziemlich instabil und langsam. Besonders nervig, mit jedem Update muss ich die App deinstallieren und neu installieren. Nach Updates verlangt die App eine erneute Anmeldung und hängt sich dabei auf, egal wie oft ich die App neu starte und warte. [Update]: Die letzten Updates haben die App stabiler gemacht und läuft jetzt deutlich schneller. **Developer response:** We have released a new update, and the issue should now be resolved. We hope that you are now enjoying using our application. If you still encounter any issues or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@shooters.global. ### 5/5 — Par time (fixed) *2025-03-28, version 3.0.6* Removing the classic par time that almost every timer has and is critical for dryfire was a misstep. This is useless for dryfiring now. 1/5 Update: Fixed. Great company and product. Very responsive to user feedback. 5/5. ### 5/5 — **Updated** (No) Par-Time function with update 3.0 !!! *2025-03-17* **Updated** Thank you for your quick response. With the Par-Time-Function (classic mode) is the app fully functional and better than ever! Great Job! The par-time function is crucial for my dry-fire workout. With that the new update the timer/app is nearly useless for me. Is there any plan to implement par time to the dry-fire drills? **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you like the app. Thanks for helping us improve! ### 5/5 — Good👍 *2025-03-13, version 3.0.2* Good app, developers listen to requests and quickly fix bugs --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
