CM Archers Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Archers Timer controls timing and the traffic light for archery competitions under World Archery rules – automatically, exactly reproducibly, and including the prescribed horn signals. Recurve and compound are not distinguished. A TRAFFIC LIGHT, NOT A SMALL ICON Instead of a small traffic-light graphic, the current signal colour fills the entire screen – easy to read from a distance and in bright daylight. Preparation time, shooting time and the yellow warning run automatically, with the matching horn signals for preparation, clear to shoot, stop, and collecting arrows. EVERYTHING FOR RUNNING A COMPETITION • Group mode AB (2 archers) or AB CD (4 archers per target) • Any number of rounds and ends, fully configurable • Ready-made templates for WA Outdoor, WA Indoor, or fully custom • Re-shoots with their own time, for recounts or tie-breaks • Pause, abort and resume – even after an abort, resuming at exactly the right point REMOTE CONTROL • Apple Watch: status and full remote control right on your wrist • Bluetooth presenter/clicker: freely assignable key templates, including templates for common models BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Automatically adapts to portrait and landscape without scrolling, with its own sidebar menu on iPad. Full light and dark mode support. CONFIGURABLE DOWN TO THE DETAIL Language (German/English/automatic), volume and signal tone, voice announcement of the final seconds – optionally with your own recorded voice for each number. Archers Timer runs entirely offline, with no account and no cloud sync – all settings stay on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CM Archers Timer at none against Phantom Play's 1. CM Archers Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Phantom Play's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
