Great training tool. Now we just need an iPhone interface cable to connect to a light tree and a trigger line for the gate control! LOL ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2012-03-05, version 1.0* Gate app. ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-01-09, version 1.0* Great app! You should put in an update that has a stopwatch so you can time from the gate drop! That'd make it even better ### 5/5 — Helps training! *2011-12-20, version 1.0* Helps with reaction time a lot. Great for training ### 4/5 — Simple app, does what it says it does *2011-10-27, version 1.0* Discovered my son starts pedalling on the green... Worth $1.49 to sort that little problem :) ### 5/5 — Awesome Practice Tool *2011-04-22, version 1.0* Using it for my son (6 intermediate) and myself (girl cruiser playing on track.) Works great. Thanks!!! ### 4/5 — Random? *2011-04-14, version 1.0* It is what it says, but seems that all starts are short and in sequence, however, totally worth the .99 cents, I would buy it again! ### 5/5 — John Keller *2011-04-03, version 1.0* Absolutely AWESOME!!!! A must have for any serious BMXer, track cyclist or any other athlete that needs to practice random starting or gating. Have used it to improve my double A snap and blitzed my last two competitive starts. Recommend it!!! ### 5/5 — Exactly what the name says it is! *2011-03-25, version 1.0* Great, simple app that does everything that it should - run a random BMX cadence with lights. Perfect for sprints and gates. 5 Stars! ### 5/5 — Basic, but good! *2011-03-23, version 1.0* Add that authentic UCI flavour to your Stumpy gate sessions. Please make the cadence available as a ringtone too, that would be amazing!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wow *2025-09-08, version 1.2* Lights are way off and unable to adjust timing. Lights go to green then tones sound. ### 1/5 — Waste of time!!! *2016-01-01, version 1.0* App doesn't work if you have the latest version of IOS ### 1/5 — Random gate *2015-12-22, version 1.0* Now that you have our money how about making it work on the 6s. Tried no star but won't let me send it. Whatever you do don't buy this app if you have a 6s with current updates! ### 1/5 — No longer runs on iPhone *2015-12-01, version 1.0* The app no longer runs on iPhones after updating to iOS 9.01 or newer. The developer isn't responding to the email address for contacting their support. I want to update the app myself if the developer is uninterested in maintaining the app but there's no way to contact them. Kurt... are you there??? ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2015-10-30, version 1.0* Downloaded the app and it won't open. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Not working on iphone5s *2015-10-21, version 1.0* Cannot get it to work on my iPhone 5s. I tap on the app to run and it just gives me a black screen and then goes off??????? Any ideas?????? ### 2/5 — Bug causes it to crash *2023-04-06, version 1.2* With the current iOS the settings button causes the app to crash. Please update. ### 2/5 — Was a great App, PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!! *2015-12-22, version 1.0* I loved this app when it worked! My boys loved it because it helped them train for the gate, but ever since I updated my phone it it no longer works. PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Doesn't open in iOS 9 *2015-09-18* Try to launch the app but it just crashes. ### 3/5 — Good but needs an added feature *2019-03-30, version 1.2* A really needed feature to have when using autostart is use two buttons, a reset and a skip. The skip of course lets you immediately trigger the 10 sec final count. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App which would be better with a few changes *2019-09-17, version 1.2* It would be useful if the repeat functionality could work while I am filming my starts using the camera app At the moment the countdown stops working when I start the video. I have tried to get round this using my iPod touch for the gate start but the sound volume on maximum is very low. Otherwise 5 stars ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it's supposed to do. *2017-07-22, version 1.2* Nice having the repeat and timer combo so you can drop a gate and get your bike reloaded without ever touching the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-01-13, version 1.1* Fixed for iOS 9.2!!! Works well again! ### 5/5 — Great! Worth every penny! *2015-12-20, version 1.0* This app has help tremendously with reaction time. Must have asset to any serious or up and coming rider! Thumbs up!!👍👍 ### 5/5 — Awesome must get *2013-09-23, version 1.0* This app is awesome it is worth the money cos you can set a delay on the start so get this app if you want to practice you gate starts! ### 5/5 — Bmx gate start *2013-07-25, version 1.0* Great to practice yr gates snap alot of thing that u can do on the street love it ### 5/5 — Worth every penny!👌🏁🚲🚴🚲 *2012-10-22, version 1.0* My brother & nephew are both in BMX and we live about 7 minutes from our home track, but with this app my nephew can play/practice on his own bike ramps at home whenever he wants. And it's perfect for my youngest nephew when he rides his little strider bike, he loves this app! It's totally worth the 99 cents!!😊👍👌🏁🚴🚲🚴🚲🚴🚲 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-10-17, version 1.0* If there were some personalization tools it would be even better, i wish it was more responsive when my iPod was locked in my pocket. Maybe an update?? ### 5/5 — AWESOME!!! *2012-06-05, version 1.0* Really good. I wasn't expecting it to work very well but once I tried it. It was great ### 5/5 — 👍👍two thumbs up *2012-04-13, version 1.0* This app is totally worth the 99 cents.
