Ruined a perfectly good app. Hopefully someone will decided to just reload the original. ### 1/5 — Double bulb bs *2016-01-08, version 2.0.1* Please fix this! Make it where you have to turn on pre stage and stage bulbs! ### 2/5 — Tree drops fast *2016-01-06, version 2.0.1* Why can't you make it to where the tree drops differently every time vs right after you stage.. It's way to fast. And boring when it's always the same ### 1/5 — Upgrade a major downgrade *2015-12-21, version 2.0* The tree fires as soon as you stage after the first practice. It was not broke before so why fix. My Jr racers are also not impressed ### 1/5 — Review *2015-12-20, version 2.0* No longer usable. Pro tree doesn't work. This is junk! To bad it was great! Go back to the old app! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-12-20, version 2.0* Terrible app now. Messed up a good thing. New Amber lights are wrong. Don't update if you have a choice. Was a good tool now just a dumb game. ### 1/5 — Prettier maybe, but now useless... *2015-12-18, version 2.0* There is no stage bulb anymore, and in Pro Tree mode the yellows are basically instantly on when the Jeg's (transbrake) button is pressed. This app is now worthless to me... ### 1/5 — Ruined a perfectly good app! *2015-12-17, version 2.0* The app was about perfect for taking a few hits before going up to the lanes. Now it is absolute junk! Somebody who knew absolutely nothing about drag racing messed up an otherwise good app! Put it back to what it was!!! ### 2/5 — Latest update *2015-12-17, version 2.0* I've always loved this app but I think the latest update made the tree timing wrong. I don't think the full tree is a real .500 full tree any longer. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Why mess with a good thing *2015-12-17, version 2.0* Ever since the new update this app has been inconsistent. It's hard to zero in on the tree when it tells you what your reaction was immediately, it causes you to lose focus. Please for the love of God go back and put the original tree and timer back up ### 3/5 — It's Okay *2013-05-01, version 1.1* It's ok. It's a little slow. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-05-19, version 2.0.1* Was a great app , doesn’t seem to work anymore . Tree drops but can’t get a reaction time on either pro or full tree . App hasn’t been updated in 7 years . ### 1/5 — Stage to start time is always the same *2023-02-08, version 2.0.1* The stage to start time is always the same. After half a dozen tries you’ll get used to the time it takes from lighting the “staged” bulb until the tree drops. In real life, the stage to start time isn’t always the same, and if you stage first it’s based on when your opponent lights the “staged” bulb. Poor representation of a real life drag racing tree. ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied *2022-06-04, version 2.0.1* This app is worthless. I had an app on my android that allowed me to edit settings. I race in a series that uses a .4 tree. You can’t change the tree settings or vehicle reaction time, etc. This app has none of these features. ### 1/5 — Tree Drops *2021-01-16, version 2.0.1* Tree drops way to fast. Should really get fixed. I know it’s fast because we run super pro dragster and another app that many don’t use in the App Store, we use the same delay and it’s almost perfect to what we use at the track. ### 1/5 — I only wish the lights were like this, it doesn’t test anything *2020-10-15, version 2.0.1* The lights are patterned. So you stage and in the exact same set amount of time, every time.... the pro tree starts. Within 2-3 attempts, you’re cutting .00X lights because you’ve figured out the pattern. Typically, there can be up to a 7 second delay after staging. Kind of sad, considering the name on the app. ### 1/5 — Does not work correctly *2020-08-25, version 2.0.1* This app is inaccurate and lights reset before you get your RT and gives false times even if you don’t react. Not a good app. ### 1/5 — I expected better out of Jeggie *2019-01-21, version 2.0.1* Tree activates too soon to where it’s not possible to consistently let go off the top or a full tree. The design is neat, but the functionality is poor and not geared toward the everyday racer. ### 1/5 — Bad *2018-12-12, version 2.0.1* When i push the button it go instant yellow no help at all ### 1/5 — Awful wish I could get a refund waste of money *2018-05-27, version 2.0.1* Awful wish I could get a refund waste of money ### 1/5 — To Fast *2016-05-15, version 2.0.1* Comes on to fast! Could you slow it up! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Prefect *2025-04-17, version 2.0.1* Best drag racing app ### 5/5 — It helps *2020-07-01, version 2.0.1* Really helped me cut a better light ### 5/5 — Reaction time *2019-11-18, version 2.0.1* Great app Very helpful 🏁👀🏁 ### 5/5 — Great *2018-03-28, version 2.0.1* By the reactions have improved tremendously since I’ve been participating in this exercise ### 5/5 — Update *2016-08-09, version 1.1* Glad I read the reviews before I choose the update, I will keep the old version, thanks guys. ### 5/5 — Enjoying this! *2016-03-21, version 2.0.1* Haven't had a chance to race this year (it's March) but this is the best free tree I've tried. It seems to over the basic forms of what the hard body games offer. Minus the stats. I just write down my 10 runs in a row and figure out my averages and my bests. Do look online for ways to adjust roll out, it's what makes this work. There is a lot of good info out there on how to adjust it, especially once you get to the track (it won't be dialled in quite right until then). If I get great results with this, I may be inclined to buy a hand held unit...but if it ends up working I don't know why I would bother. ### 5/5 — Aswome *2014-02-15, version 1.1* This app is the for what I do but can you please update it to the latest version and optimize it for the iPhone 5 and 5s please. ### 5/5 — Drag racing is in my blood *2013-04-03, version 1.1* Love knowing I can cut a great light now to put my practice in real life motions! ### 5/5 — GREAT *2013-02-25, version 1.1* Got this for my bracket racing hubby and he loves it. A must have for super pro and pro racers ### 5/5 — Helpful *2012-07-22, version 1.1* I run Jrs and it is very helpful to get ready --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
