## Description

3DMark Sling Shot Benchmark is a legacy iOS benchmarking tool designed for older iPhone and iPad devices. It runs OpenGL ES 3.0 tests at 1920×1080 and Sling Shot Extreme with the Metal API at 2560×1440 to compare performance across devices. The app is free, has no ads, and is intended for non-commercial use.

This extension helps developers, testers, and curious users evaluate device performance using impartial benchmarks. For licensing or press inquiries, contact UL.BenchmarkSales@ul.com or UL.BenchmarkPress@ul.com.

## Review summary

Overall sentiment is negative due to instability, incompatibility with newer devices, and lack of updates. Users report frequent crashes, installation/startup failures, and unreliable benchmark results. A minority still uses it to compare FPS across devices, but many feel the app is outdated and not well supported.

### Pros

- Allows testing multiple devices and watching FPS across tests.
- Some reviews suggest broader device compatibility or useful cross-device benchmarking.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability across devices (e.g., iPad Pro Gen3, iPad Pro 11, iPhone XR, iPhone 11 Pro Max, etc).
- Not compatible with newer iOS devices/versions and appears poorly maintained or outdated.
- Perceived inconsistent/incorrect CPU benchmarks (e.g., A12X vs A12Z scores) and poor optimization.
- Lack of developer support and updates; described as abandonware.
