User Reviews

Pros include strong customization, repeatable timing, solid value, Front Sight alignment, and active developer support. Common cons are the 5-repetition limit, audio cue reliability issues, limited drill organization tools, screen-lock handling, and battery drain. These themes appear across multiple reviews, highlighting where users see strong value but also want improvements in usability and flexibility.
Pros
  • Customizable drills with support for user-created content
  • Repeat option and adjustable drill repetitions for cycling through drills
  • Excellent value for money, especially versus similar Front Sight apps
  • Good alignment with Front Sight drills and tests
  • Developers are responsive and actively engage with users/updates
Cons
  • 5-repetition cap; no endless loop option for drills
  • Audio cues/beeps can be unreliable or inaudible on some setups (often requiring headphones)
  • Lack of drill organization features (no easy reordering, no duplicate drill, no folders or backup/import)
  • Screen-lock behavior issues (auto-lock not disabled or timer not paused when screen locks)
  • Noticeable battery drain / screen staying on and reducing device battery life

Why doesn’t the beep or ready sound work anymore?

Works great, even better than a Pro version from the same developer. Two things I miss: “Duplicate drill” feature, and a good control to reset or edit par times (currently one needs to first place a cursor behind numbers to delete or change them and its too much for fat fingers)
