Simple Arrows is a small, quiet archery companion for iPhone and iPad. Pick a target face, place your arrows, and it works out which round you're in on its own. It keeps a calm timeline of your practice and, over time, helps you notice what's changing. We wanted to avoid building a dashboard, so there are no knobs to set up before your first arrow, no stats you didn't ask for, and nothing to configure between you and the next end. LESS SETUP, MORE SHOOTING Choose a face and start. Simple Arrows watches how you score and recognizes the round for you, from Portsmouth to the WA 1440 to the imperial rounds and plenty more, without asking you to pick from a list first. It knows the rounds you actually practice, and you stay in control the whole way. Score on the target face or the scoresheet, whichever feels right. Every tap is instant. THE FACES WA full face, 6-ring, vertical 3-spot and 5-spot. Vegas 3-spot. NFAA single spot and 5-spot. Worcester and Worcester 5-spot. And a blank bale for form work. DELIGHT IN THE DETAILS We spent a long time on the small things. Arrows land with a satisfying little settle. Hold your finger down and a magnifier opens so you can place a mark exactly where the arrow went. The Finish button gently fills beneath your thumb. None of it is necessary. All of it, we hope, makes scoring a pleasure rather than a chore. This is the archery app we wanted for ourselves. A TIMELINE OF YOUR PRACTICE Every session, note, and milestone lives in a clean, filterable timeline you can revisit years from now. Personal bests appear quietly as you go. INSIGHTS THAT STAY CALM Lightweight, honest reads on your training: trend, consistency, and volume, with enough context to notice what changed after a new string, a new tab, or simply a good week. One clear picture instead of a wall of charts. SHARE THE GOOD ONES Had a round you're proud of? Export it as a clean scorecard image and send it to a friend, your coach, or the club chat. It looks like something you'd want to share, because who wants to share a screenshot of a spreadsheet? The card is free for everyone; Supporters get a few extra styles to play with. YOURS, AND PRIVATE Your training data stays on your device and, if you choose, in your own private iCloud account. Anonymous analytics are off by default, and if you turn them on, they help improve the app and nothing else. Export your whole archive as CSV whenever you like. It's your data. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL THANK YOU The entire app, and every core feature, is free for everyone, forever. Scoring, automatic round recognition, your timeline, insights, import, export, and sync. If Simple Arrows earns a place in your quiver, you can become a Supporter and pick up a handful of cosmetic extras: 3D arrows that catch the light when you tilt your phone, alternate target-face themes, arrow mark colors, and extra export styles. It's simply a way to say thanks. Nothing about how the app works is ever locked behind it. Made by Dabblings, a small studio of archers.
