Ratings and reviews

Works fine. Appears confusing to use at first, but really isn't once you get the hang of it. Take a photo of the target, use ruler icon to tell it the scale of the target (hint, physically measure the size of the target paper itself and use the edges of the target for the best accuracy), position over each bullet hole and hit the bullet hole icon, hit the notes icon for the results. I had no problems with stability. Not the best interface in the world but it is functional.

The app is stable and the idea of using photos, scaling and marking groups is great, but I would suggest some statistics are incorporated in future versions. I would like to see a CEP calculation; a group size in itself is useless. A 40-hole group will be much larger than a 3-hole 'group' from the same rifle, for example, but it allows extracting a lot more information about your rifle, if you analyse it properly. This app has a lot of potential, please look into statistics!

The idea of the app is great. I use it every time I go to the range. There are some things to improve though. The app works great with one rifle, and if you want to switch to another one, you need to type in the rifle name, there is no dropdown list of rifles on the record. I would like more flexibility on what to show when marking groups on the target. Some may find there is too much of graphical information that makes it hard to read the shots
