The Free Shot Timer is an extremely accurate shot timer application that anyone can use to improve their shooting skills.
When designing the Free Shot Timer we asked shooters of all types and experience levels what they wanted in a timer. We found that the most important features in a shot timer from the shooter’s perspective are ACCURACY and EASE OF OPERATION. The last thing people want to do at the range is mess around with their timer, but at the same time they want it to work.
With that in mind we engineered a shot timer app that has the precision of a high dollar stand-alone unit, with an incredibly user-friendly interface. But we didn’t stop there…


Other Features:

Adjustable Start Delay (0-4 seconds).

Random Start Delay (randomly starts the timer 2-5 seconds after the start button is pressed).

Adjustable Par Time (0-99.99 seconds).

Extra Loud Start Beep, designed to be heard through ear protection.

Large, easy to read numerical display.

Save shot data to view later.

Email shot data.

Print shot data right from your device using AirPrint.

Pros and cons of Gun Shot Timer app for iPhone and iPad

Gun Shot Timer app good for

The shot timer works and does exactly what it should do. Saved myself 100+ € buying a real one.
Excellent shot timer for the money. Works good. Sensitivity is something you might have to turn up for smaller guns. Wont work with dry fire exercises. Buying an actual shot timer is better, but thats 200$
I have used this timer for AR drills. Proximity to your phone helps with accuracy on picking up shots. Nice little timer for free seeing as how stand alone units start at around 100.00. Start beep is very quite but its limited by the iPhones tiny speaker, I dont think the developers could do any more with that. I hooked up an ihome battery powered speaker and the beep is perfect through that with muffs on. Room for improvement could be a quicker reset for single fire drills otherwise it would have got five stars.
It is working fine on my iPhone 4 even indoors. The only one I have found to work so far. Could use a few features but well worth the price ;)
I use this app with an iPod touch and it works great under most conditions. It requires an external mic which doubles as speaker for the beep. It isnt very loud, but generally can be heard with hearing protection. The sensitivity can be adjusted to suit most firearms and conditions. It wont take the place of a dedicated shot timer, but for casual practice, it works great. Plus its free.
Would be a great dry fire timer with this feature. Charge me a dollar :)

Some bad moments

Great Idea but not sensitive enough for recognizing airguns. Update would be great. Thanks.
Sensitivity all the way up and it wont pick up a mini mag out of a Walther p22 sorry but thats still pretty freaking loud thats just pathetic
The seems like it could be a good app. The problem Im having is that most of the time it doesnt register shots. That happens even with the microphone sensitivity turned all the way up. From reading all the reviews, it seems like this is a problem that was introduced with a previous upgrade and the company just doesnt want to fix it. Too bad, this could be a really good app.
Current version does not work with current iOS. Settings menu and others inaccessible making the app useless
This used to be a really good shot timer. But an upgrade or two ago, the start "beep" became inaudible with hearing protection (you can hardly hear it without protection), rendering it mostly useless. Reported the problem, no change. Shame. Im off to try other apps.
Tried this at the outdoor range, with several shooters and several guns. The app will pick up the first shot *most* of the time. It will *rarely* pick up the second shot. In one test I left it one while shooting 50 rounds, at varying speeds, it picked up 16 of the shots total.
