TargetScan - Pistol & Rifle App Reviews

This amazing little app makes scoring and tracking ten-meter matches and training sessions easy. It precisely scores cards and provides a nice summary 60-shot graphic. The developer is incredibly responsive to suggestions for improvements and adding new targets ... I get a reply within 24 hours! Cant wait to try it for 50-meter pistol next. Thanks!

I tried multiple times with various light sources but I could never get it to reliably score by B2 and B3 targets. I ended up deleting the app. Chip

My 11yr old son and I both shoot 10m Olympic air pistol. This app is now part of his training and used weekly for our in home father son tournaments. Very accurate. I take the pictures with my iPhone and utilize the blue screen on the iPad. Works perfectly. I am not thrilled with the high price of per discipline. I would be open to pay a bulk price to unlock sessions for all disciplines. Or even a discount for multiple disciplines.

I just purchased and tried your application, it is just the application I have been looking for. I love it so far. The developer responds to questions in a timely manner which is great. I played around with the applications all weekend; with over 70 competition ISSF target shots and it worked each time. It would be nice to have the following additional features if you do not mind me providing feedback: - To be able to load images from camera roll so that the user can do a bulk entry. - It would be nice to have a section on pistol/rifle inventory - To be able to add BB type would be nice - It would be nice to be able to write down notes on the targets - It would be nice to be able to modify the caliber of the bullet/BB e.g. .45 mm or .452 mm, 5.5 mm vs. 5.52 mm, etc) Thanks

This app requires an external scanner, useless without the scanner. Waste of $9.

Save your money. Scanning the same target more than once gives different scores. Much easier to score the old fashion way. Im trying to get my $ back.

Keep in mind I am writing this review from an International and Conventional Pistol Shooter perspective. I have been using this app to score air pistol targets. It is useful if you want to score them using the decimal system. It is fairly accurate and allow you to make adjustments if it is off. This app allows you to take detailed notes and keeps track of your different shooting sessions. It also gives you some analysis tools to improve your shooting and track your progress. This is not a Scatt or Noptel system which allow you to analyze your shooting before, during and after the shot. For what it is, it is a great app for someone who is serious about improving their shooting

App has most of what Im looking for when it comes to bullseye pistol shooting. The dev is very responsive to suggestions.

Really good, but need more ammo selection. Just a thought.

I’ve been pleased with this app. Thomas has been quick to respond to questions and has been adding different targets as requested. The cloud sync works well. This app works well for a shooting journal.

I like this app very much! The scoring is very accurate most of the time, I did have some targets that I had to rescan a few times, but my lighting conditions were much less than ideal. Otherwise I have nothing to say but positive things about TargetScan. 5 stars!

Ive found that this has been the most useful app Ive tried for precision shooting. The target scanning is surprisingly effective & the developer is really responsive. I find the documentation in the app to be really helpful (rare for mobile apps) and the developer has been great about updating the app. I highly recommend this to anyone engaged in precision shooting .

I am wondering if I can obtain a refund for this product because it simply does not work. I scanned over thirty targets and the app scored only one correctly. As it is right now, the app rates no stars and I certainly would not recommend it.

I love your product! It scans target very well! However there are few request I have asked developer 1. SR1,SR21, and MR31 is high power rifle target, there for to add choice in ammunition section for 223Rem (5.56mm for AR) and 30 cal (such as 308Win and 30 carbine)? Or give us a option to INPUT OUR OWN AMMUNITION INFO (this will be great for all targets and for the people who reloads). 2. Position choice on targets are only in PRONE, we also need STANDING and SITTING These improvements will make your product perfect! Thank you! BakGom

This has made scoring my targets so much easier in 10 meter .177 air pistol and rifle competitions. I can also score practice sessions away from competition. I use my iPad 2 as the light table and score the sessions on my iPhone 4S, and then review them on the iPad later. Also able to keep a separate target file for each Airgun so I dont have to search through many files to find the one I want. Im still learning about this discipline and this app takes some of the work out of it. Thanks.

This is my third review of target scan. You can read my previous review below. The short version of the review is “Get it!”. The latest version of target scan is a big step forward in terms of accuracy from the previous versions. While I was enthusiastic about the previous versions, this latest one is the best yet. Over the past month I was able to do a statistical evaluation comparing scoring results between target scan and the system used at the olympic training center in Colorado Springs. Even though both systems operate on different technical principles the scoring accuracy and precision was virtually the same. Understand that the latest version of target scan will never replace the scoring systems used in international competition, they are designed for different users, in term of accuracy and precision it is a wash. Also the latest version of target scan is more forgiving of lighting requirements when scoring than previous versions. I can score targets on a white background under room lighting or if outdoors, I just hold the target up to the iPhone camera and I get very good results. To understand what I mean go to the developers youtube channel and watch the video. Congratulations to the developers. Some other things that target scan does for me is provide statistics and the ability to maintain a shooters diary. The diary has become indispensable to me as a means to improve and is a lot easier to manage than a paper notebook. Scoring results, stats and diary are all stored in iPhone memory. If you have an iCloud account, your data is automatically uploaded there for archiving. Otherwise you can archive your data by mailing it to your email account. There are some behaviors that need to be improved. One problem occurs when creating a diary entry. If you are typing and a phone call interrupts, then all that you have typed is lost when you return to the app (fortunately, the scoring information is intact). Also, when the app is updated to a newer version, all previous data is removed from your iPhone. If you are using iCloud then you can recover your data; if you have archived your data via email, then it remains there in your mail account. However, if you update and you have not archived via email or iCloud, then it appears you are out of luck. Fortunately, the developers are very good at listening to users and if history repeats, then there will be fixes in the next version coming soon. Other reviews gripe about the cost of this app or the fact that the basic version does not have all the features turned on requiring more money in order to get certain targets, features, etc. To date I have spent less than $15US on this app to get it to do what I need to to do (I am a very avid 10 meter air pistol athlete). That is less than the cost of two tins of pellets. I think the app is certainly a good value if you are like me. Other reviews claim that scanners or other equipment are required to make it work. These reviewers did not read the instruction annual or watch the video and are mistaken. All you need is the app and an iPhone. I have run the app on an iPhone 4 and iPhone 5c. it works equally well although the 5c processor crunches data much faster than that of the iPhone 4 giving nearly instantaneous results. Summarizing, if you are interested in becoming a better target shooter then this is one thing I would recommend having. <<From someone who shoots a lot, this app is indispensable. It scores your targets and enables one to keep a complete journal in your pocket. I use it every day. All of the poor reviews were written by people who didnt watch the instruction video or are unfamiliar with iPhone apps in general. Best results are obtained using good quality paper targets and wad cutter pellets. A ragged hole is not going to be scored with the accuracy of a clean circle. My guess is that the app can distinguish two shots on top of each other with an offset of about a quarter of a millimeter. I can score a session of 60 shots in about a minute and images and stats are created instantly. Wow! If you are using cheap paper or anything other than wad cutters then you wont be as enthusiastic about the app as I am. Otherwise get it.>>

Still cant score our club green ink targets, but does a pretty accurate job on B&W targets. Has a slight tendency to wander off center points from time to time. But all in all worth the time and money.

For less than the price of a good tin of pellets you cant beat it. Scanning accuracy very good and with the analysis functions setting sights and reviewing technique is made very easy!

If you shoot international rifle or pistol, this is an app you must have!

Works amazingly well and is very easy to use. Saves so much time after a session at the range. And the ability to store all the data in the cloud make this a logbook and progress tracker all in one. My only wish is that it had the ability to zoom images, but otherwise perfect and indispensable to me.
