### 5/5 — Great timing software

*2025-03-01, version 7.3.0*

We have been using Webscorer for over 5 years, the team are very responsive with any questions, software works great.

### 5/5 — Great with chip timing

*2024-11-30*

This app is fantastic for manual race timing and integration with chip timing. The program developer regularly updates the app with improved features and user requests. I’ve used the chip timing integration since the beginning. Webscorer only keeps getting better!

### 5/5 — Solid app

*2024-09-20*

Has all the features needed for both manual and chip timing of small and large races.

### 5/5 — Fabulous race registration and timing system

*2024-04-13, version 6.8.0*

The Finger Lakes Runners Club uses Webscorer for most of our small races, and it is highly effective for us. It is easy to use, less expensive than other systems, and extremely flexible. The QR Code self-timing system was also key for our FLRC Challenge virtual race series that has continued well beyond the pandemic. Finally, Webscorer support is unparalleled—few companies are anywhere near as responsive.

### 5/5 — Great customer service

*2023-09-03*

I’m new to the race timing world and Vesa at Webscorer has gone above and beyond many times now. He’s helped me with with all the issues I’ve had, stayed with me the entire way. He’s great at trouble shooting. One of my favorite things about Webscorer and Vesa is how incredibly fast he is with response.

### 4/5 — Needs one update

*2023-08-17*

Love this timer, however…having the lap button at the top of the screen is awkward and problematic. If the user gets any notifications they pop up on the top as well blocking your ability to hit the timer. User could put phone in do not disturb while using, but having it in a better location might be good so user doesn’t have to remember to do that.

### 5/5 — Amazing! Highly recommend.

*2023-06-17*

We purchased this a week before our canoe and kayak races. It was easy to use and the support we received (even last minute) was amazing. Do yourself a favor and purchase this product for all your race timing needs, you will not be disappointed.

### 5/5 — Best App Ever

*2023-05-31*

Amazing app

### 5/5 — Excellent app - highly recommended!

*2021-12-10, version 5.0.0*

I have used this app many times to record riders in cycling time trials. It is excellent, easy to use, easy to correct mistakes. 
Support from the Webscorer team is also excellent, with very quick response time.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2021-03-03*

From on course splits for coaches to timing races big and small, this app is the best. We especially appreciate the continued enthusiasm of the developer who makes constant improvements and frequently adds new features.
