Le scan des cibles peut être compliqué en extérieur ou avec un éclairage fort derrière la cible (fausse détection des trous déjà bouchés). Il manquerait éventuellement la possibilité de saisir des résultats manuellement pour pouvoir par exemple saisir les concours ou entraînement sur cibles électroniques. ### 5/5 — Target scan *2024-09-26, version 7.1.1* Great for coaching a number of new shooters and checking long term trends in experienced shooters ### 5/5 — Record keeping *2024-09-13, version 7.1.1* This is an excellent product which helps record your progress and improvements in the world of target shooting. Easy to use and helps identify aiming issues may not of otherwise noticed. Great product ### 5/5 — Bonne appli pour suivre sa progression *2024-08-31* Super appli, je confirme les 5⭐️. J’ai cette appli depuis 2015. Elle a évoluer afin d’offrir de nouvelles fonctionnalités. Je l’utilise pour les différentes armes que j’utilise : air comprimé 10m, armes de poing 25m et armes longues. Elle gère parfaitement toutes les cibles et tous les calibres. Parfait donc. Rien à redire. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2024-07-19* While we have to pay upfront - it’s the only app that works properly - even on papers with 95+ scores - it is as accurate as it can be - it is an excellent tool that provides data exactly like electronic targets and has all required insights required for training modifications. ### 5/5 — Excelente app *2024-06-18* Muito bom mesmo. Atemporal ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-05-19* A real good smart app for digitally archiving your scores with the auto detect feature of the shots which makes it easy to just shoot the target picture and the shots are auto identified. ### 5/5 — Fantastic and useful app *2024-04-18, version 7.1.1* Brilliant app. Just tested it after a shoot. Picked up all ten 10m air pistol cards with only a couple of corrections needed. Really useful info and the pdf export is excellent. Sure, it is not cheap but I think it is very much worth it. Would be great if we were able to ‘pinch & zoom’ into the target previews. ### 5/5 — A really great app for the serious shooter *2024-04-09, version 7.1.1* To start, I shoot ISSF. This app works brilliantly for air pistol as the holes are clearly defined. I can get good registration of holes with just a piece of white paper behind the target on the bench at the range and I'm amazed at its ability to pick out holes in close groups. It is also easy to correct holes which are not quite right and the pic can be easily retaken if not right (need to wait for the camera to focus properly). It's less successful with .22LR shots at 25 and 50m unless the target is taken down and held up to the light. Maybe if the flash light on the iPhone could be turned on to increase contrast. I might be unfair as it is difficult to see the iPhone screen in bright light and it is important to allow the camera to focus properly. Finally, I'm waiting for C/F to be available as a calibre option on the 25m ISSF target. All said, a really great app! The Developer is to be congratulated. Update in April 2024: Still using the app for AP and I now use it for Free (50m) Pistol by taking a photo and hand plotting the holes. Very quick and easy and is the same for the 25m events. I re-endorse the app and continue to congratulate the Developer. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted *2024-03-15, version 7.1.1* Great tool for shooters who want to keep track of their targets/progress. ### 3/5 — À améliorer *2024-01-19* Une bonne application mais qui nécessite plusieurs points d’amélioration : - la possibilité d’ajouter une arme avec un comptage de cartouches tirées pour un meilleur suivi - la possibilité d’ajouter la météo en temps réel lors du tir qui permet d’avoir un suivi réel des conditions de tirs, avec une possibilité de rechercher des anciens tirs par condition météo pour retrouver les réglages de lunettes. - la possibilité d’ajouter un réglage de lunette - la possibilité d’ajouter des notes personnelles - la possibilité de modifier ou personnaliser une catégorie de tir pour ceux qui font du tir libre longue distance de 0 à 1000m sur cible c50 / c200. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-11-20, version 7.1.1* Extremely useful for tracking my practice and competition sessions! Very grateful for this thank you I use this for 10m, 20y and standard pistol at 25m 🤗 ### 5/5 — I love this app *2023-08-29, version 7.1.1* Purchase it. You won’t regret. ### 3/5 — SUGESTÕES DE MELHORIAS PARA O BRASIL *2023-08-19* Colocar todos os tipos de alvos das provas nacionais na CBTE . Obs: No Brasil se utiliza muito os alvos da LCL que são de cor marrom. Seria ótimo se conseguissem reformular o app. Grato. ### 4/5 — Handy tool to check you’re improving *2023-06-22, version 7.1.1* I find it easy to use although sometimes it can be a little fiddly if multiple shots are very close together. A good tool to find the centre of your groups. The mean radius and max spread give a good indication of any improvement. ### 5/5 — Yozefu *2023-05-26* yozefu7824 ### 5/5 — Target scan *2023-03-10, version 7.1.1* Love it. You need a white background behind the target to get a good contrast and a good light. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lots to like *2026-05-30, version 7.1.1* It is so bad sensing a whole on a black background, so many false positives. I wish you could hit a button and clear all the ‘sensed’ holes. It takes longer to clear the target each time than it does to add the proper holes ### 1/5 — Doesn’t recognize targets *2024-01-20, version 7.1.1* Doesn’t recognize the target very well, had a hard time scanning target, had to retake and move several shots! ### 1/5 — Useless for me and no interest in fixing *2023-09-26, version 7.1.1* Had this app for almost a year now Doesn’t have my club’s target (nswsarai) Asked couple times about it, no response. Looks like I wasted my money 😣 ### 1/5 — Not working with 140x140mm for 10m pistol *2021-05-13, version 6.8.0* Waste of money, doesn't recognise 140x140mm target (white dot in center, 8,7 black and rest white up to 1) ### 1/5 — Does not detect holes *2021-02-28, version 6.8.0* Tried blue light white light and paper , it doesn’t detect holes had to manually mark each hole ### 1/5 — Target type *2020-03-06, version 6.3.1* Very few types of targets available for selection. My company uses silhouette targets and I can not use this app because of that restriction ### 1/5 — Mmm... requires ideal conditions *2020-02-29, version 6.3.1* Only when placed on a blue computer screen is able to pickup all the shots. Will be useless in field conditions. Would be nice to have a manual settings to add missing holes. ### 1/5 — Missing advertised features *2019-02-23, version 5.12.0* This app claims to use image recognition to scan targets for holes. In reality the feature doesn't work at all making this a big dumb old data entry app. Not worth $18 at all. Should be banned from the store. ### 1/5 — Not what I was expecting. *2019-01-20, version 5.10.0* Only works with a selected few targets. ### 1/5 — Hummmm! *2018-11-29, version 5.10.0* Absolutely aweful! Places shots where are none and misses shots that are clearly shot!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Très belle application *2026-03-30* Une application qui permet un suivi et une analyse précise de sa session de tir ### 5/5 — Pratique, fiable très utile pour progresser. *2026-03-03* Je recommande cette application. Rapide pour son utilisation avec un résultat juste et modifiable si erreur de lecture. L'application en multi- sessions permet d'obtenir des statistiques. Je souhaite que le logiciel TargetScan puise évoluer et permettre l'exploitation de toutes les données sur un tableur. Trés bonne réactivité du développeur pour répondre aux questions et aux améliorations. Le 20 septembre 2017 cela fait plus d'un an que j'utilise cette application elle ne fait qu'évoluer et je la recommande à chaque tireur que je rencontre. ### 5/5 — Easy and accurate scoring *2025-12-15, version 7.1.1* This app makes it really easy to take a picture of your targets and then score them. I have used it for Air pistol, 22, and 45. Both indoor and outdoor targets. It does definitely help if you put a piece of white paper behind the target before you take the picture and make sure the target is as fully captured as possible. Maybe even a little extra border around the edge in the picture. I would love it if you could combine different target types into a group like three slow fire and six sustained fire to score a 900 match. ### 5/5 — Beste App für sportschützen *2025-09-30* Seit Jahren zufrieden! Leider schon lange keine Updates mehr, u.a. neue Schreiben für BDS Kombi. Auch die Auswertung würde heutzutage mehr Möglichkeiten bieten bzw. Man sich mehr Flexibilität wünschen in Bezug auf Zeiträume der Auswertung und tiefergehende Analysen. Gerne als zusätzlichen in-App Purchase. Gute Arbeit soll bezahlt werden. ### 5/5 — A very useful app! *2025-09-05, version 7.1.1* The TargetScan app is really useful and very, very accurate, reliable and consistent. As a club scorer, I use this all the time to check my scoring, and also to record score cards. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2025-05-05, version 7.1.1* Spent hours and hours sticking scores in a spreadsheet which took me minutes to replicate with this app. Rather spend my time practicing than recording. The one issue is sometimes it will not allow you to manually record a shot it doesn’t register. It’s about 1 in 30-40 which I can live with. Would love a little more detail on the metrics it gives but maybe I just haven’t found it in the help yet. The only other suggestion to the developer is to allow us to original picture of the scan for record keeping. ### 5/5 — Première utilisation *2025-02-02* Je trouve cette application vraiment pratique très simple à utiliser. Je n’ai plus besoin de me casser la tête à compter les points. C’est la première fois que je l’utilise alors peut-être que d’autres commentaires suivront pour une éventuelle amélioration de l’appli. Je recommande cette application à tous les tireurs. ### 5/5 — 気持ちはEST役員 *2024-12-11* 三千円と高いですが、かなり満足度は高いです。 メリット ・一枚の標的から最大10発まで読み取ることが可能 ・採点がズレてるなと思った時は、感知した部分をタップすることで移動可能 デメリット ・ARのような標的に対して弾の径が大きい場合、弾痕が重なって複数発を検知できない ### 5/5 — The best one in the market *2024-11-08, version 7.1.1* Have been using it for 3 months now, started a bit unstable but I figured out it was the user fault as it’s very important to select the correct target from the list, also the lighting condition is key to a very accurate reading. Now it’s spot on every time. ### 5/5 — Pour les tireurs sportifs !!! *2024-09-29* A avoir quand on fait du tir sportif, pour enregistrer ses sessions et suivre sa progression au travers de différents indicateurs de performance graphiques. Permet de faire un état des lieux et de remettre en question la qualité des tirs. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
