ArrowNotes grew out of practice – out of the wish for an app that lets you record arrows without detours, without distraction and without rigid rules. In training or in competition: a few seconds after the end should be enough to note the result and get back to shooting. That is what ArrowNotes focuses on. The app deliberately avoids clutter, yet gives you a solid basis for analysis, evaluation and structure. Many features are already there, others are added step by step – with the goal of making ArrowNotes a powerful but still clear companion for archers. The free version of ArrowNotes is fully usable and contains all the essential features for recording and analysing training and competition – no subscription, no running costs. Available in English, German, French and Spanish. Rounds & ends - Create rounds with different templates, target faces and diameters - Record arrows on the target face (with markers), on the keypad or from a photo - Add matches within a round, for example to record a competition - Automatic scores, averages and hit rates - Record freely without limits: no fixed number of ends per round. Ideal for training, when you do not know in advance how much you will shoot. - Save, edit or delete ends - Correct rounds that were set up incorrectly: change distance, fix section, move ends - Filter by type (training/competition), place (indoor/outdoor) and period - Target faces supported so far: WA/FITA 10 ring, WA/FITA 5 ring, WA/FITA 6 ring, WA/FITA 3-spot, WA Field, WA Field 3-spot Competition and match play - Olympic set system (2/1/0 set points) and cumulative compound scoring - Individual, team and mixed team – six WA formats - Set point score, list of sets and winner at a glance, shoot-off included Personal bests & awards - Personal bests per round type and bow type (competition) and per distance and target face (training) – with date, previous best and a link to the round - 39 awards in eight categories: outdoor and indoor target pins based on the World Archery thresholds, stars for WA 1440, milestones for arrows and rounds, special hits and consistency - Progress for open awards, celebration when you earn one - Everything is derived from your rounds – practice and competition count alike Statistics - Trends on the overview: Ø points / arrow, Ø points / end, gold rate, X rate and arrows / month – the last 3 months compared with the 3 before, separated into indoor and outdoor, with a 12-month history - Score shares in percent - Score distribution as arrows per ring - Average score per end - Number of arrows (recorded, manual and total) - Filter by period (week, month, year, custom), type (training/competition) and place (indoor/outdoor) - Open round statistics with a swipe - Hit pattern analysis per round with offset and average spread Equipment & setups - Manage bows, limbs, sights, arrows and accessories - Store several setups per bow - Store sight settings per bow/sight combination and distance - Bow types supported so far: recurve, barebow, compound and longbow Arrow counter - Record arrows manually and outside of rounds - Daily totals are stored per day - History with daily totals that can be deleted when no longer needed Timer - Freely configurable timers with times for preparation, shooting and warning - Haptic and/or acoustic signals Apple Watch integration - Use the Apple Watch as a remote control - See the last round with all its ends - Record a new end on the keypad - Delete and edit existing ends - Set up and start the timer - See the statistics of the round - Arrow counter for recording arrows manually Sync & backup - Local storage with optional iCloud sync - Export and import your data as a file Settings - Adjust language, appearance, distances and templates - Choose target face, keypad or photo as the default input - Light, dark or system mode
