PewScore
Read full descriptionHide full description
PewScore is an AI shooting coach and rating system that adapts to you. On first launch you pick your style — Casual, Range Regular, Hunter, or Competitor — and the app reshapes around it: your Coach, your drills, and your goals all fit how you actually shoot. Switch any time in Settings. PewScore is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by USPSA, IPSC, IDPA, Steel Challenge, or any shooting-sports organization. Third-party marks identify supported sports only. A FIVE-TAB EXPERIENCE • Home — your training snapshot plus a community feed: results, rating moves, and callouts from competitors you follow. • Coach — an AI coach in your pocket. Ask about stage strategy, drills, gear concepts, and what to work on next. Safety-first for casual, range, and hunting contexts. • Train — a tier-calibrated drill library (every drill carries par times matched to your tier, with the next tier's standard in view), structured Programs (4-week sprints + maintenance blocks), and Stage Plan with a full classifier reference library (Pro). • Compete — your PewScore rating and tier, division Standings, a global Leaderboard, Full Insights (rating breakdown, trends, and peak markers), and Find a Match to surface nearby competitions by sport and date. • Squad — create or join a squad to train and compete with your crew, track squad standings, and keep each other accountable. THE PEWSCORE TIER SYSTEM Nine tiers, from Competitor through G.O.A.T. Your tier reflects demonstrated skill — not a classification on paper. Take the Tier Check any time to see where you stand and what to work on next. PRIVACY-FIRST No third-party ad trackers. No data brokers. Your shooting data is yours. SUBSCRIPTIONS PewScore offers two subscription tiers, Premium and Pro, each available monthly or annually: • Premium ($9.99/month or $109.99/year) — 25 daily Coach queries, full drill library, advanced Insights • Pro ($19.99/month or $219.99/year) — 100 daily Coach queries, Stage Plan, priority Coach Insights, full drill access, and Stage Plan require Premium or Pro as shown above.

Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. Manage and cancel in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Shots Fired
Read full descriptionHide full description
Shots Fired counts the rounds through every gun you own, tells you when each one needs cleaning or a new part, and shows how your shooting adds up over the months. There's no account to make and nothing goes to a server. Your log lives on your iPhone. COUNT EVERY ROUND Pick a gun and a distance, slide to go hot, and count. Tap for each round or a full magazine, or let the mic count for you. The mic learns how loud your gun is from your first shots, and works best when you're the only shooter or the line is quiet. On a busy line, tap counts best. Switch between tap and mic at any time without starting over. Change distance or gun and the next session starts with your magazine carried over. KNOW WHEN TO CLEAN Every gun keeps its own round count and cleaning interval. The Locker puts the gun that needs attention first: "45 rounds to clean". Log a cleaning or other work with notes and photos, and schedule what's coming, like a recoil spring at 10,000 rounds or a red dot battery in a month. Reminders arrive on your phone when they're due. SEE IT ADD UP History shows each week, month and year: rounds, range days, time on the range and what you spent on ammo. Compare month over month and against last year, find your best session and see rounds by firearm. Tap into any session for its photos and notes. GOALS THAT GET YOU TO THE RANGE Set goals by rounds, sessions, time on the range or shooting every gun in your safe, monthly, quarterly or one-off. Shots Fired tracks your progress and tells you when a goal is falling behind. SHARE YOUR MONTH Make a clean card of your month, a session or your goals, then save it or send it to a friend. You choose what's on it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No sign-up, no email, no location. Everything stays on this iPhone. Back it up to a file whenever you like, and import it on a new phone. Usage stats are off unless you choose to share them, and even then they're anonymous and never include your guns or notes. FREE AND PRO Every new user gets 7 days of Pro for free. There's nothing to cancel and you won't be charged. After that, Shots Fired stays free with one gun, one goal, round counting, every session, the Week and Month views and share cards. Shots Fired Pro adds unlimited guns and goals, maintenance reminders, the Year and All-time views with trends against last year, and unlimited session photos. - Yearly: $19.99 a year - Monthly: $2.99 a month - Lifetime: $39.99 once Subscriptions renew through your Apple account until you cancel in Settings at least 24 hours before the period ends. Lifetime is a single purchase. Terms of use: https://shotsfired.app/terms Privacy policy: https://shotsfired.app/privacy Made by a shooter. Questions or ideas: info@shotsfired.app
