### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-06-22, version 3.11*

I have used iArcher for some years, as it has by far the easiest and most logical layout to use. 
I’d love to see it updated to the latest Archery GB scoring classifications - perhaps a paid upgrade?

### 4/5 — Needs Updating for 2023

*2023-06-28, version 3.11*

This is a great app but has not been updated yet to reflect Archery GB’s new 2023 Score thresholds and outdoor classifications which need amending immediately.

### 3/5 — Needs updating very quickly!!!

*2023-06-04, version 3.11*

I really love this app and used to use all the time, however it is has become out of date.  it really needs to update all the rounds and classifications to be in line with Archery GB.

### 4/5 — Old Faithful

*2022-04-22, version 3.11*

This is the score system I have been happy to use for the last six years. Is there any intention to modify it to accommodate the new Archery GB Round Titles?

### 4/5 — My favorite scoresheet app

*2021-06-30, version 3.11*

I have been using iarcher for many years, and as a club records officer, I recommend it to all archers looking for a no nonsense scoresheet. The csv emailed in scoresheets have been fantastic during the pandemic.
I use it on my iPad these days, and despite the fact that it still doesn't officially support the iPad it is still perfectly usable in zoom mode (please please make it work natively on my iPad, then I can give it 5 stars)

### 4/5 — Needs some maintenance

*2020-07-06, version 3.01*

I started using iArcher about 7 years ago (maybe longer) and is my first go to scoring app. It performs beautifully in competition allowing me to score for everyone on my target. V 3.01 was a very useful update with the extra features, I have been trying to contact Julian to suggest further updates but my mails now bounce back such a shame if it’s gone.

### 4/5 — Needs updating

*2017-09-12, version 3.01*

Hi guys, 
I use this app a lot for my archery but I now find that some of the newer rounds are not on your app. Please can we have some updates asap. 
Thanks Pete

### 4/5 — Iartcher

*2016-04-07, version 3.01*

I love this app it does everything I need it to do, but I have just done a new update on my phone & I have found that the personal best don't tally up my personal best is 532 & recently it's saying my personal best is 504

### 4/5 — Was very good but....

*2016-02-18, version 3.01*

It has been a great app for recording scores, checking personal bests etc but recently lost several months info and tonight's PB details will not load from PB screen help required please

### 2/5 — New phone!

*2016-02-02, version 3.01*

I got a new iPhone and reinstalled the app. Went to shoot and there are no sight markings, scores, PBs! It's all completely clean! Disaster! What am I supposed to do to get all my info back??

### 4/5 — Mr c tarry

*2015-12-25, version 3.01*

Great app ,easy to use but needs to work on a apple  Iwatch so you can enter score on watch app . as smart phone watch my friends got does just that (come on).

### 4/5 — Does what it says on the tin...

*2015-12-01, version 3.01*

Very good app. I've used it for over a year, during which I've recorded my rounds, personal bests and sight-marks. It would benefit from a chart of rounds and classifications, rather than having to repeatedly re-load differing rounds to remind oneself of requirements- distances, numbers of arrows etc. Nevertheless, nicely done...

### 4/5 — Good Update

*2015-10-26, version 3.01*

Looks much cleaner now. Can we have pb's for the old names included with the new please
I.e. FITA 720 with WA 70m and 
FITA 18 with WA 18m etc etc. 
Thanks

### 3/5 — Still some work to be done

*2015-10-13, version 3.01*

Cant seem to edit the rounds already in there? The rounds loaded are English. There may be equivalent rounds in other countries but called by different names. Have to add these as Custom ones but could be duplicating them. Also agree, no clout or field scoring. Add those and it should be a little better.

### 3/5 — Was good until iOS 9

*2015-09-22, version 3.0*

Note to the developer: Pls kindly fix the 3 dots issue that has appeared with the arrival of iOS 9. End totals with two figures and dozen totals with three figures now appear as 3 dots. Presumably because the font has changed and the numbers no longer fit in the boxes. This has rendered a good app virtually useless. A little tweak of font should do the trick. Hope it will be done soon.

P.S. Your support link doesn't work. I would have emailed you there rather than write here.

### 1/5 — Not Being Updated

*2024-05-15, version 3.11*

Unfortunately this app is not being updated with the new round names, shame as it was the best scoring app.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-08-11, version 3.11*

Was a fantastic app to record my scores on, but has not been updated since archery GB’s change to the handicap system this year. 
Contacted the developer who said they were too busy to update it at the moment. Have switched to archers toolbox!

### 1/5 — Out of date

*2023-07-16, version 3.11*

Has not been updated to show the changes made by Archery GB in early 2023. For example there are no Junior rounds and the Senior in now Men 50+ and Women 50+ and then Men and Women. Not worth using until it’s updated. Please update it or remove it from the Apple (UK£ store.

### 1/5 — Great app, but…..

*2021-10-12, version 3.11*

I’ve used this app for 8 years since I started shooting & really like it. But, why o why have you changed the font size.
The writing is now so small on my iPhone 11 Pro Max that I have to now look for a new app & somehow transfer all my scores over.

A terrific own goal in my opinion:((

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2015-12-13, version 3.01*

Where's the history. All I can get from the 4 buttons is the personal best. Can't find other scores I've entered. Thought the emailing of scores would be better. Much prefer Arrownautics.

### 1/5 — End totals

*2015-09-20, version 3.0*

Please can you sort out end totals box size, all I get now is 3 dots. If you can not, then can I get a refund because the app is pretty much useless in present state.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2013-11-17, version 2.03*

It only records your position when you unlock the phone. Start the event, lock the screen And put it in your pocket and it stops recording your route. Open to check progress and you get a straight line from your last point! Useless!

### 1/5 — Vegas isn't Vegas...

*2010-01-15*

All ends require 6 arrows with this application. I shoot indoors @ 20y/18m, and we shoot Vegas 3 arrow ends to 450. I'd be happy if it could even score it at 300. Verify with someone who already has the application if it works with your type of shooting round before purchasing as clearly not all of the documented rounds are supported.

### 2/5 — Needs updating

*2023-06-09, version 3.11*

I think iArcher is brilliant, it tells me everything I need to know. However in 23 archery GB updated all of its scoring system it has new classifications, and handicaps are calculated by age groups. 
As yet iArcher has not kept pace meaning it’s outdated and only useful for keeping score. Come on iArcher get on it, update the software so I can start using it properly again.

### 2/5 — No where to Setup

*2022-10-16, version 3.11*

Having installed this, and paid, I am somewhat disappointed. Having read the reviews thought it sounds better than my present app. It allows you to select the shoot and pulls up the appropriate short sheet etc. However, you get wet yourself up, I get tell it, for example, my current classification or my details, which is disappointing. It app assumes your are a basic bowman and working towards your 3rd class.

### 5/5 — Update please

*2024-09-22, version 3.11*

I have been using this app for many years now and find it perfect for my needs. Please, please, please give it an update so I can continue using the best app of it’s kind.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-02-04, version 3.11*

Nice graphics and effective. What about an addition for field archery?

### 5/5 — Solid archers app

*2023-07-03, version 3.11*

This app does all the key things you need as a target archer in a straightforward way. My preferred recording tool on the range. Feedback to the publisher, as of October 2022 the round classification tables have all been updated by Archery GB can you update the app table data to align with the new release.

### 5/5 — Update please.

*2022-05-21, version 3.11*

This is a great app for keeping scores. I would like to ask the developer if he could please update the app to reflect the new names of some of the rounds since they have changed this year. Keep up the great work many thanks.

### 5/5 — Best scoring app I have used

*2018-06-10, version 3.01*

I have tried several scoring apps and this is by far the best. Simple to use, easy to read and keep track of personal bests. Ability to add sight marks an added bonus. May cost a little more than some but well worth it.

### 5/5 — A perfect app for archers and very helpful service

*2016-12-26, version 3.01*

I have used this app for around 3 years now and i have never had a problem with it until recently i upgraded my phone and all my files didn't transfer over so i contacted Jools (the apps creator) and he was very helpful and in one email it was fixed! I recommend this app for every archer out there !

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2015-10-03, version 3.01*

A great app, I'd be lost without it. Can't add up to save my life sometime :)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-09-29, version 3.01*

Great app and thanks for the prompt update following iOS9

### 5/5 — Fonts

*2015-09-21, version 3.0*

I love this app. It is simple and effective. However, I too am getting three dots instead of my scores. I think it's because Apple have changed the system font size in IOS 9 and the scores are now too wide for the box.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-08-27, version 3.0*

Does exactly what I need it to. Score cards are easy to fill in. Good stats given. Can email results home. Great update to support iPhone 6 screen size. 

Just needs a "Cancel Round" button for those moments when you decide things aren't going quite so well and it's not worth continuing.
