Changing the sounds would be nice because really dont like this sound :) overall works I will be able doing some gun manual trainings ie drawing, reloading etc. Worth the price for me. But if would be more expensive I would pass probably. ### 4/5 — Good home training tool *2022-03-25* This app is great for dry fire training at home. Draw times can drastically decrease the more you use it if you are training properly. Very basic but does exactly what I expected. Positives: You can set your timer to accommodate the type of training you are performing. The timer itself is loud enough to hear so no issues there. Negatives: I don’t know if you can repeat the timer without manually restarting it, but that’s just fine for what I’m doing. Not sure if that is even a negative. Overall, great alternative to a full range shot timer. If you are like most of us who enjoy practicing at home before sending rounds down range, this is a great training aide to have on your phone or tablet. **Developer response:** Thank you for the well thought out review. Glad this app is useful to you. ### 5/5 — Simple yet effective *2019-06-22* Needed a par timer for dry practice at home. Works good. Sound does work. Things maybe for the next release. Be able to adjust the delay time. Be able to turn the ticks off during the delay time. Use a beep similar to the shot timers used at matches. Raise the volume for out door use. ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-07-22* By far the best, easiest to use Par Timer in the App Store. ### 4/5 — Good dry-fire app *2015-03-28* The app’s interface is great with a huge start/stop button, and the buzzer is loud enough with the v1.1 update. Have the app prevent the phone from going to sleep and it’s good to go! ### 5/5 — Perfect for Dryfire *2015-01-27* This app is perfect for dryfire practice. The whole screen can start and stop the timer, the random start, and setting the par time down to tenths of a second are exactly what I need to run my drills. No fluff here, just a par timer for fast reps. App delivers. Thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is a joke , Do not waste your money.It is a joke what a waste of money *2022-11-15, version 2.0* This app is a joke , Do not waste your money.It is a joke what a waste of money ### 1/5 — Poor *2021-02-27, version 2.0* Poor ### 1/5 — Does not pick up gun sounds *2020-05-22* Be carful to read entire description. I did not. Waisted $3. Not worth owning **Developer response:** I know that personal responsibility is not in style these days, but this is ridiculous. We specifically state in the app description that this app does not record gunshots, yet you bought it anyway, and now you’re mad that the app doesn’t record gunshots so you’re playing the victim and giving us the one star rating. Your review is unhelpful, whiny, and irrelevant. ### 1/5 — No Audio!!! *2018-01-12, version 1.4* There are no beeps or Audio on this app. Missing basic element to make it useful ### 1/5 — Waste of Money !!!! *2017-10-21* NO audible beeps to signal start or finish!!! This is VISUAL ONLY - do NOT waste your money on this like I did a few minutes ago!!!! **Developer response:** Your phone is muted. Unmute your phone and turn up the volume to hear sounds. This app has sounds for every major event, such as countdown and start/stop. ### 1/5 — No beep. *2017-09-13, version 1.4* Does this app not beep for the time to start and finish? ### 3/5 — Wish it were Better *2023-06-24* Needs more options. One option which is immediately needed is the ability to change the sound on the timer to more of the audible beep used in real shot timer. An easy enough fix. Please fix it. ### 3/5 — Shot timer is good, but would be great if! *2021-12-13* I love the shot timers simplicity. It’s very useful to me as a trainer….but If only it had an instant start without any delay. Because I use it to train other shooters. I want to be able to press the button and get an immediate start for par times. Thank you so much for a handy tool for shooting and dry practices. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We will add an instant start soon. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2021-04-12* Very simple. Would be nice to have a repeat option so wouldn’t need to touch screen for every start. **Developer response:** Trying to understand how folks would like a “repeat” function to work. Please email us at our support email on our website and let us know. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Needs instant / Adjustable start *2023-08-04* This is great for dry fire but it needs two features, instant start for when someone is helping you and Adjustable start because sometimes you need a full 2 seconds to get set for your dry fire run otherwise you get a fast beep and need to start over. It’s well worth 99c but would be worth a few dollars more with these extra features. By far the easiest dry fire timer out there. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted *2023-03-26* Perfect par timer for dry firing. Set the time you’re trying achieve, press the button, a random interval will begin and there will be a first beep followed by a second beep at the time you set. Super simple and easy to use **Developer response:** Happy to hear it meets your needs - we spent a lot of time making it as simple as possible. ### 5/5 — Great app does exactly what it says *2022-08-22* Does exactly what it says. Perfect for dry fire anywhere, or use on a noisy range (works great with Bluetooth Peltor headers) when a shot timer would get confused. I use this on random regularly for dry fire practice. ### 5/5 — What I needed *2022-02-05* This has exactly what I was looking for. •Random start time •Custom par times for reload times or day firing • $1 to practice at home is well worth it **Developer response:** Very glad we checked all your boxes - we hope you enjoy using it. ### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use *2022-01-10* It's $1 and well worth it for any dry fire timer. **Developer response:** Thank you, glad you’re happy with it. We think it’s the best value for a par timer on the App Store. ### 5/5 — KISS Principal MVP *2021-12-31* Was looking for par timer for reloading drills. It is perfect for my need. Simple and easy to use for dry fire practice. Would be nice to have option to change beep tone, but that would introduce feature creep. As a minimum viable product (MVP), it’s superb and well worth the investment of $0.99. Please add to app description the range for random start time setting. **Developer response:** Thank you. Definitely trying to keep it simple and trying to keep out anything superfluous or anything that would add a lot more buttons. I’m glad you appreciate the intent. ### 5/5 — Perfect for dry fire. *2021-11-14* Easy to use. Recommend if you cant afford or dont have a shot timer but want to practice dry fire at home. Does not have a repeat button but thats alright. I set it on a small desk in front of me and press the button to standby when im ready. **Developer response:** Glad you like it. Would like to hear more about how you would expect a “repeat” feature to work. Email us at our support email on our website and let us know. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Excellent for dryfire *2020-08-11* I was truly baffled how such a solid app could have negative reviews until I saw the volume adjustment comments. Zero chance I’d like to be training on the range next to those guys. Anyway, the app is incredibly easy to use for dry fire at home. If you’re not dry firing these days with ammo prices, you’re missing out. Simple interface and adjustments. I actually prefer this to my real shot timer for running drills in the house. Great app, well done. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review, John. I'm sincerely happy that you're enjoying the app and I laughed at your comment about the range. Cheers. ### 5/5 — New version is AWESOME *2020-03-18* I’ve been using this for a year or two but the new version has some upgrades that are awesome. Thank you for the new time interface, and the new colors and it’s just better than the old version which was still my go to. Nice work. **Developer response:** Thank you very much. It makes me happy that an old school user likes the newest changes. ### 5/5 — YES THE SOUND WORKS *2020-01-28* This is a nice simple easy to use app. I do a lot of dry fire and this app is exactly right for it. Tap the screen once to start, and it goes thru the delay, beeps to start, and beeps to signal your par time is up. Once that happens you can just tap again. Some of the other apps you have to go thru an annoying process of resetting, confirming etc etc. You get everything you need, not sure what other people wanted for features. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-07-15, version 1.5* Great app. Very simple and clean design. Would be nice to see support for Apple Watch with vibration feedback along the buzzer for use at the range. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
