Read full description

A multi-discipline 'Archery Scoring App' which is comprehensive yet easy to use with sufficient detail to satisfy even seasoned professionals. Works Offline....except of course for the Shop, Sharing and Backup. Archery iX is an Archery Scoring Application for: World Archery Target World Archery Field World Archery 3D Archery Australia Target Archery Australia Field 3D Archery Association of Australia Archery-GB Target Archery-GB Field Archery-GB 3D USAA - USA Archery NFAA - National Field Archery Association (USA) ASA - Archery Shooters Association IBO - International Bowhunting Organization IFAA - International Field Archery Association NASP - National Archery in the Schools Program If your club is affiliated to any of the above, then this App is for you. Even though the same target faces are used in most regions of the globe, some regions have added their own bit of spice to the mix, therefore the growing list of Regional Archery Disciplines enable you to use those specifically for your region. Easily switch Disciplines Each discipline has its own set of rules and target face designs, select your discipline and start scoring. Group your Practice and Competition shoots separately Lock your Sessions to prevent accidental changes To be extra safe you can backup all your shoots to iCloud, save a copy of your score sheet to the file system or share via social media, email and printer. Search function Looking for a particular shoot or number of shoots is easy with the search function, search results can then be used to view statistics of those selected shoots. Search for one or multiple archers. Coaches will appreciate this function as they can monitor the progress of each individual archer they are training and compare their performance to choose the right archers for the next Olympics. Multi-Archer Scoring Create a shoot for up to 4 Archers at a time and record the scores simultaneously, easily. Each archer will have their own statistics and score sheet at the end of the shoot. Enter your score via NUMBER PAD or TARGET FACE Use the Number Pad for quick scoring and the Target Face for VERY ACCURATE placement of arrows. Good for squeezing out that last bit of tweaking. For the 'TARGET FACE' choice, please note there are no animal pictures at this stage, scoring is on concentric rings. Create custom Session/Round types Archery iX comes packaged with most Session/Round Types to get you going quickly. If the Session/Round type is missing - Simply create it. For Coaches - Create multiple archers This App is great for parents or coaches who have multiple student archers under their wing and would like to keep track of their performance. Get comparison statistics to see who is ready for the next big competition or the Olympics Record your Bows and Arrows Add your equipment which can then be attached to the score sheet for later reference. Utilities -> Practice your timing with the shot timer -> Print smaller target faces for your 'garage shooting range' to simulate longer distances -> Print blank score sheets for your event Backup your entire database to iCloud. -------------------------------------------------------- Subscription Plans This App is free to download, but has a limit of 20 Shoots/Rounds per Discipline for the free version.

About

Archery Score

Read full description

Archery Score is the precision logbook built for serious archers. Photograph your target, tap each arrow to score it, and watch your performance data build over time. Track sessions by day, monitor your consistency with trend charts, and stay sharp with World Archery news — all in a clean, distraction-free interface. Whether you shoot recurve, compound, or barebow, Archery Score gives you the insights to train smarter and compete with confidence. Manual-First Scoring After shooting, open the app and photograph your target — or import from your gallery. The image opens on a full-screen canvas with up to 8× pinch-to-zoom. Tap each arrow to place a colour-coded marker, then pick the score from a simple picker. Gold for 9–10, red for 7–8, blue for 5–6. Delete or adjust any arrow at any time. Your records are always exactly right. Session History Every round is stored on your device, organised by training day. The home screen shows your recent sessions as day cards — total rounds, arrows, and score at a glance. Tap any day to review each individual round with its target photo, arrow count, and average score. Records are private, local, and always available offline. Goal-Aware Dashboard Three KPI cards sit at the top of your home screen. The third card adapts to your goal: Consistency percentage for archers focused on shot routine, Best Session score for those training for competition, or Average score per arrow for general training. Set your goal in onboarding and the dashboard recalibrates automatically. Performance Trend Chart A 7-day moving average chart shows your mean arrow score over the current month, with a shaded band tracking your standard deviation — your consistency envelope. Narrow band means repeatable scores. Rising line means you're improving. The chart appears once you have at least three training days in the month. Shot Heatmap See exactly where your arrows land. The Shot Heatmap overlays your arrow positions on a live target and builds a visual grouping map over time, so you can spot patterns, track consistency, and understand where you're winning and where to focus. Flip between session view to see your full day, or round view to drill into a single end. Your data, visualised. Training Calendar A colour-coded calendar on the home screen maps your training volume across the month. Darker blue means more arrows. See your patterns, spot gaps, and keep your commitment visible. The full History screen shows your complete archive month by month. World Archery News After your second session, the home screen surfaces the latest news from World Archery — competition results, athlete stories, and event announcements — so you stay connected to the sport between training days. Privacy First All session data — scores, photos, history — is stored locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server. No analytics. No advertising. The app works fully offline. Supports All Disciplines Recurve, Compound, Barebow, Longbow, Traditional. Any scoring system — 10-zone, 5-zone, indoor 3-spot. You assign scores manually, so the app adapts to your format. Your data, your control. Keep your progress safe with built-in Data Backup. Export all your scores, arrow data and AI analysis as a JSON file and restore it anytime — on the same device or a new one. Freemium Your first 50 rounds are completely free — no time limit, no credit card required. Unlock unlimited recording with a Yearly plan ($14.99/year) or a one-time Lifetime purchase ($49.99).
