## What is Paintball Commander?

Paintball Commander puts your whole team on one live map.

See every teammate move in real time, mark the ground, and coordinate from the field or from the sideline — paintball, airsoft, milsim, scenario games and driven hunts. On real fields since 2012.

FREE FOR THE WHOLE TEAM
• Every teammate's position on the map, live, for the whole team
• Create a game, invite players and organize teams
• Referee mode for whoever is running the match
• See every marker and zone your team has placed
• Satellite, hybrid and standard maps
• Keeps reporting your position with the phone in your pocket

PREMIUM
• Drawing tools: zones, routes, circles and waypoints the whole team sees
• Drop a waypoint exactly where you stand, with one tap
• Your own recorded track, so you can see where you went

New accounts get a 14-day free trial. Premium is an auto-renewing subscription — monthly or yearly — that you can cancel anytime in your Apple account settings.

BUILT FOR THE FIELD
Big controls, a map that stays readable in sunlight, and markers you can actually hit with gloves on. Your position keeps reporting in the background during a game, and anything you draw while out of coverage is queued and sent the moment you are back.

FOR HUNTS TOO
Driven hunts and group hunts run on the same thing a paintball game does: knowing where everyone is before anyone moves. Mark stands, drives and boundaries, and keep the whole party in sight.

Gather your team, head to the field, and take command.

I lead my team in airsoft and its hard but with this app I can see teammates on my radar and now where they r but since I am leader I need 2 things coordinate finder and chat for objective location and updates on what's goin down

### 3/5 — Good starting point

*2012-09-24*

Great idea and I like the map centering options, seems to have some problems with map downloading (in the uk at least) and it would be useful to be able to edit teams and games that I can't find a way to do at the moment, looking forward to future updates!

### 5/5 — So great

Hello guys im Reaper (call sign of course but I usually go by it) and I use this for Airsoft and due to this app you are responsible for the "death" of over 50 players but all you need to add is a chat
