## What is Gun Vault Tools?

Log and track your gun range training!  Useful range tools and drills!  Save & email your gun & ammo list, license list, and range logs!  Improve your target shooting at the gun range using the firearm drills while tracking range & gun usage.

This app has the tools you need to safely & efficiently train and practice your firearm technique, all in one place.  Carrying a firearm or keeping one at home for family protection is a great responsibility.  Whether you have a CCW license, live in a Constitutional Carry State, or just keep one at home to protect your family’s residence, it is incumbent upon you to frequently train and be familiar with your firearm(s).  It makes sense to track your range usage, not only for your own knowledge, but as evidence if ever involved in a self-defense scenario.

It is also helpful for an easy one-stop-location to track your firearms (including cost, serial #, and date of purchase) and your Conceal Carry licenses.  You can match up your firearm to the range sessions, and track the number of rounds fired.  You also can set up early warnings for when your CCW license(s) are about to expire or have expired.

Dashboard – Quick statistics about your Range Trips, Licenses, and Firearms.
Shot Timer – Log your shots fired from buzzer to last shot.  Can set a delay for solo practice.  Can also be set to time shots in dry fire practice.
Buzzer – Can set to a random delay for solo practice and dry fire practice. 
Random Target Buzzer -  Fully configurable.  Can be set to call out random targets at random intervals for Figure 8 and other drills that need an element of surprise.
Range Log – Track your range sessions, including firearm used, rounds fired, location, date, time spent, and more.  Save the address, GPS and picture of the range.
Firearm Log – Track your firearm purchases, serial #, date purchased, price paid, rounds fired, and pictures.  Keep this useful data in one place if the firearms are ever lost or stolen.
License Log – Track your CCW (Conceal Carry) Licenses, date acquired, date expiring, license number, picture, and other notes.  Provides warning on homepage of licenses that are near expiration and ones that have expired.
Ammo Log - Track your ammo purchases and use.
Training Log - Track your firearms training.
Misc. Log - Track your firearm accessories and related products.
Dry Fire Drills – Instructions and information on various dry-fire drills (including random drill selector).
Live Fire Drills – Detailed instructions, tips, and pictures of several popular target drills.  Includes random drill selector if you want to rotate your drills of the day.
Gun Safety  - Basic tips to remember from trusted organizations.
Security – App can be locked to your password or your fingerprint
Backup & Import - Ability to Import / Export data across devices, backup old data, and email data to yourself or other apps.

This app includes future updates (with more tools, drills, and exciting features) for free.  No subscription fee or ongoing charge.

Now includes Auto feature to manage your ammo inventory when you log your range trips.  Know how many rounds you have available of each caliber at a glance.

Disclaimer:  Gun safety is a paramount concern for any shooter.  Only use a firearm if you are an experienced shooter, or under the direct supervision of an experienced shooter.  There is no substitute for following safe gun handling and target shooting techniques at all time.

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2020-09-21*

App crashes when you enable Face ID. Also it does not back up to iCloud...or if it does, it won’t restore from iCloud. Either way, the app needs a lot of work.

### 5/5 — GREAT Apps!

*2020-06-13*

I simply want to say THANK YOU.  
Your CCW, Posted! & GunVault apps are the best, and hugely useful‼️
Honestly I don’t know how you manage the constant data-pull it must take to stay current with the constant changes state-by-state.  The level of detail provided is really impressive. 
Big kudos to all of you.

### 1/5 — Not happy as it’s locked

*2019-08-21*

Just spent an hour inputting list and its locked  up in a weird way. Cycling thru the password screen then disappears!

### 5/5 — Chief Instructor - Aim Safe Firearms Training

*2019-03-08*

Regarding the updated Gun Vault app.
I used the Shot Timer at the range!!
👌👌👌👌👌~👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for developing a great Range app and for listening to your app users!!

### 1/5 — Not worth it!

*2019-01-20*

Spend the $3 on cheap paper targets, least you will get something out of it!   This is a hacked together information that the beginner should already know before touching a firearm!  Got few drills, and a place to store all your firearm serial number data, and that’s it!!!!!    Disappointed!

**Developer response:** The app is only $1.  And it includes many types of drills, several tools (such as shot timer, random target buzzer, etc...), and ability to easily track & catalog your firearm and ammo usage + range time.

### 2/5 — Poorly designed, not very useful

*2019-01-17*

The app has promise, in theory (hence the two stars instead of one), but looks and feels like a homemade website from the 1990's your teenage nephew made complete with the weird bitmap icons, gaudy color schemes, funky buttons, and awkward multi-color text - i.e. not a professional app. Because of this I have my doubts about the code that underlies this and wouldn't trust it to save my critical data (see all the reviews about user data being deleted without notice with no backup option being available if you don't believe me).

Very clunky, not many features, and has limited useful information. Everything is so manual, too, when entering information. Not a design, layout or feature set you'd expect to find in a modern app - and by modern I mean anytime in the 21st century. The features could be duplicated by a free notepad app or the builtin iOS apps for the most part, and those would be softer on the eyes and easier to use. Would expect this type of stuff from a free app but not one you pay for. Uninstalled after about fifteen minutes of use.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2018-12-19*

Great little app, helps me keep track of my ammo use and range trips.
 Update request As a UK user it would be nice if I could select the currency for my country, it is only in $ at this time

### 3/5 — Doesn’t (yet?) do everything promised

*2018-07-26*

Things that comments say it will do, that it doesn’t:
Import data won’t accept the file you exported, in spite of the how-to info.  Can’t use the Dashboard, not any of the items.  Can only access via the menu at the top corner.

Issues: notes section on license section doesn’t properly accept non-alpha characters.  Looks okay until you display it, then the junk shows up.

Suggestions:  I have a 2 person shooting household.  It would be nice to be able to visually distinguish which permit belongs to whom, and which gun belongs to whom - visible at the top level.

**Developer response:** Please email our support team with the details of the "import" issue you are experiencing, so that we can help you resolve it.  Also, can you please let me know what specific problems you are seeing on the Dashboard?

### 1/5 — Poor first impression

*2018-01-05*

Entered my first firearm and when I tried to take a pic the app just shut down. Not happy. Feel like I wasted money.
 Update. Installed on iPad as well and does same thing. Unable to take pictures.

**Developer response:** Thank you for making us aware.  We have fixed this issue with some camera functions in the latest version.  Please download the latest version to use "Take Picture" button.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Satisfied User - Cajun

*2017-09-02*

Excellent app for keeping track of your firearms and ammo inventory as well as your proficiency trading on those firearms. Excellent tool to provide information from to your insurance company.
