Wait for green, then tap. Reaction Time tells you how fast you reacted, in milliseconds, and shows exactly how it got that number.
A run is five tries. You see each time, your average, your fastest try and how steady you were, plus a percentile against typical players. Tap too early and that try does not count.
SIX WAYS TO TEST YOUR REFLEXES
• Classic: the screen turns from red to green, tap as fast as you can
• Start lights: five red lights come on one by one, tap the moment they all go out
• Go or no go: tap on green, hold back on blue
• Sound: tap when you hear the beep while the screen stays the same
• Vibration: tap when the phone buzzes in your hand
• 2 player duel: one phone, half the screen each, first to 3 points wins
HOW A TAP IS TIMED
The colour changes in a single frame. There is no fade and no countdown. The clock starts at the screen refresh where the green can first appear, and your tap is timed with the timestamp the touchscreen records when your finger lands, not when the app gets around to it. Taps under 100 ms count as too early, because nobody reacts that fast.
Every phone adds a few milliseconds in its screen and touch hardware. That delay only makes times slower, never faster, and it is the same on every try, so your progress on one phone stays fair to compare. The app explains the whole method under Settings.
WATCH YOURSELF GET FASTER
Stats for each mode show your best average, your fastest try, a chart of your last 10 runs and your full history. The percentile curve shows where your recent average sits among typical players. It is a model calculated on your phone, so treat it as a rough guide.
PLAY A FRIEND
Put the phone on the table between you. The top half is turned around for the player across from you, and both halves go green in the same frame. Tap before green and the point goes to your friend.

About ads: Reaction Time is free to download and supported by ads. A small banner shows on the home screen and the stats screen. Now and then a full screen ad may appear when you leave the results of a finished run, never during a test. If a run went badly, you can choose to watch a short video so it does not count in your history. A one time purchase removes the ads.
A tip for steady results: sit comfortably, keep your finger just above the screen and use the same finger each time. Sound mode works best with the phone speaker or wired headphones.
