Not updated. *2023-06-23* Just went to iOS 16.5.1 and it still instantly crashes, just as the paid for version I LOVED has done since a few OS updates ago. Tried to contact Codemonkey about this, no joy. Would gladly buy the full version again. Perhaps a pox on Apple’s house for not retaining backwards compatibility—for an app last updated only six years ago. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-06-19* Downloaded and it crashes every time I open it. Can’t even try the ap. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2023-01-17, version 1.4.4* I’ve taken it out to the range three times now, I am the only one shooting because it’s a private range. I fire six shots and every single time it tells me I have fired anywhere between nine and 15 rounds. Complete garbage. I have adjusted every possible setting, but it still doesn’t work. ### 4/5 — Works well *2022-12-04, version 1.4.4* Been using this for about a year or so. Works great when running drills with friends but the lack of a delay means I can’t use it when I’m alone. I don’t often shoot alone so it’s not a big deal but worth mentioning. Seems like a simple addition to the app to make this a perfect shot timer. ### 4/5 — A great tool for starters! And actually works. *2022-02-09, version 1.4.4* This app is very basic, but that perfect for someone just getting started with shooting. When you get better and start getting serious, then consider a real shot timer. Though the paid version, which is only $10, would honestly work close to as well as a full timer. ### 3/5 — Could Be Perfect For Dry Fire Practice, IF... *2021-08-25, version 1.4.4* I would also like an adjustable delay, but for a different reason. I need a timer app for dry fire practice, and if the start beep could be delayed for either a random or set time of between 1-5 seconds, it would be perfect for me to practice drawing and firing in my home (no ammo). I’m trying to measure my time from starting my draw to firing, against the “clock,” and this one feature would greatly help in setting specific times-to-beat for practice. I realize I could add time (how much?) to the par beep to take into account any time used from hitting the start button until getting into my shooting stance, but then I don’t really know how much time is actually taken to start the timer vs. actually drawing and firing. I’d be willing to pay a few bucks for that feature. ### 1/5 — Horrendous. Does not work AT ALL *2021-03-19, version 1.4.4* I thought I would sample this free version first before I bought the paid version. What are huge waste of time. I installed the microphone just like he talks about I dailed up the sensitivity all the way up it does not record any shots whatsoever I will not waste my time with this appAnd certainly would not invest 10 bucks ### 4/5 — Not bad *2020-11-30* Would be better if there is a random timer added in ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-10-10, version 1.4.4* Does not pick up dry fire even at highest sensitivity ### 1/5 — Good thing it’s free *2020-09-07, version 1.4.4* Has never worked. It does not pick up every shot, even on 100% sensitivity. ## Frequently asked questions about Make Ready Lite ### What does Make Ready Lite do?
