Decent but a few annoying challenges

The app works well except for a few things. Firstly the sound on the ready set go function is extremely quiet. It’s not my phone as the sound is more than loud enough on other apps. From even 20m away it’s nearly impossible to hear. A Bluetooth speaker would introduce lag and impact accuracy.

Secondly it does not work well at detecting more than one lane away from the camera.

One feature needs to be free

You need to be able to pair multiple devices for free. For timing a race it is unusable unless you buy the pro version. It would also be nice if a few of the start options were free.

Response from developer

Hi sevithes, thanks for sharing your thoughts. The free version of Photo Finish includes our core single-device timing with automatic chest detection and split tracking, which covers most solo training needs. Multi-device pairing is part of Pro because it relies on extra infrastructure, and Pro is what allows us to keep developing the app as a small team. That said, we hear you on wanting more flexibility in the start options, and we'll take that into account.If there's anything else you'd like to share, feel free to reach out. support@photofinish-app.com

Pas de version gratuite

La description laisse croire qu’il y a une version gratuite, alors qu’il n’en est rien. On est obligé de s’abonner.

Response from developer

Bonjour YomsGH, merci pour votre retour. Photo Finish propose bien une version gratuite avec les fonctionnalités principales de chronométrage automatique, y compris la détection du buste et les temps intermédiaires. Seules certaines fonctionnalités avancées (comme la synchronisation multi-appareils et certains types de départ) nécessitent l'abonnement Pro. Nous sommes désolés que cela n'ait pas été assez clair dans la description. N'hésitez pas à nous contacter via photofinish-app.com si vous souhaitez de l'aide pour utiliser la version gratuite, avec plaisir!

It’s works perfectly!!

But Please add the shotgun sound in the On your mark/Set starting.
Thank you for your work , it’s helps a lot !!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and the rating. We are happy to hear that the app helps you a lot. Regarding the shotgun sound. We use to have a Shotgun sound but later we found out that the beep is more accurate. So thats why we are not using the shotgun sound anymore. We hope you can understand that we prefer accuracy over the type of start sound.
