App needs improvement

Update: Me again. My phone overheats like crazy. I can only get like two courses in before it gets really bad. Once improvement would be to reduce the time the camera is active. When displaying the instructions, no need to have the camera active.
When a course is completed, again immediately turn off camera.

Original:
Great way to practice your shots, and fun for a group to practice.
The app can use a lot of improvements. As a developer, I’d be happy to help out and take this app to the next level:
Better courses, ability to select trainings/course by target, more games/challenges.

My number 1 wishlist is ability to select trainings based off target. For the fun targets, the only way to practice them is to select a course and skip to the target we want, like “Control” and “Circles”.

If interested in help, please reply with an email to reach out to, I’d love to help improve something I’d regularly use, and I’m willing to offer my services for a kit or the similar (great discount for a senior dev). I’m actually hoping I can partner with your team 🙏🏻

I enjoy this system better than the previous one I order. It’s worth the price!

Improving

I am improving my trigger discipline with every session. Time to hit the paper targets.

Excellent Training

Laser Academy is exceptional! My sooting has drastically improved over the past 3-4 months that I have had the Laser Academy, Mantis X. I loved those so much that I recently purchased the training pistol and am really enjoying that as well. I’m able to shoot 3x’s as many rounds when training all because I don’t need to rack the slide after every shot. This training academy is superb and I highly recommend it!!
