Subscription model App
A shot timer is probably the worst category of app for subscription model pricing. I’m willing to purchase a quality shot timer app, but I won’t pay for a monthly subscription for one. Might as well save all that money for a physical shot timer.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We completely understand that subscription models aren't for everyone. Unlike physical timers, our goal is to provide a complete training system that evolves over time rather than just a static beeper. We include features like Progress Tracking, Laser Training, Recoil Timer, and more. We are also constantly pushing updates, adding new drills, and maintaining cloud support. We hope you'll find value in the ongoing improvements!
What a great app
I’ve been using the app for a while now and I’m happy with it so far, great addition to my training. looking froward :)
Highly Functional and Easy to Use
This app works great for dry fire practice! It responds well to snap caps and has flexible sound settings. I love being able to track my progress over time too. The ability to customize drills is really helpful. It’s like having a personal coach right on your phone. Highly recọmmend for anyone wanting to improve shooting accuracy.

Online-only is a failure
I shoot on BLM land, where cell reception is non-existent. Unknown to me, this meant hundreds of my tracked shots were forever lost to this dumb thing requiring an internet connection. A pathetic failure from the developer when considering use cases.
Looks like offline support was added in the latest version, and I'll give it one more try.

Hi DtotheBS, indeed our latest release includes offline support. You can now use the app wherever you want without internet access. We'll appreciate it if you could update your rating after trying it out :)
Best live fire app, but could use key updates
PlinkPal has been my favorite, and most consistently effective live fire shot timer for the iPhone. It’s free to use and works well. Highly recommend!
There are two things that I really would like improvement on.
1) Offline mode:
You can’t use the app unless you have an Internet connection. You’ll just be stuck on a “retry” screen. Can’t even look at your profile, tutorials, settings, or shot history. WiFi or nada.
I often shoot at outdoor ranges where there is no Wi-Fi or cell service which makes this app useless. If I can’t capture and track all of my practice, why would I focus on the social aspect of the app interface?
You’ve got to be able to use this one off-line. Have local storage for your sessions, then it uploads to the cloud for the social aspect.
2) Smart Watch Interface:
I love the idea of being able to use a smart watch when you’re shooting alone. It’s a hassle to pull the phone in and out of the pocket or whatever between each string of shots. I figured the smart watch would be ideal.
I tried it with an Apple Watch and was pretty disappointed. The fact that you still need to interact with the phone between each string of shots/each “session” makes the whole smart watch interface pretty much useless— at least unnecessarily redundant.
You should be able to just interface with the watch through multiple sessions over and over with the tap of the screen— that’s how shot timing needs to work.
Overall, a really great app with a lot of potential! Props to the developers for making something that is fairly intuitive, effective, and that has room to grow!
