PractiScore Competitor

Initially I wasn’t too sure about the app because I didn’t spend the time understanding the UI. Once I figured it out, how to analyze my scores and compare side by side with the top shooters, how to analyze my classifieds, it suddenly became my go-to tool after every match. I have recently derived the equations myself to calculate how much time I can spend on getting A vs. C based on the HF of a stage, only to realize that the actual numbers are already displayed in this app. Very happy that the math is already there and that I can look it up quickly. There are some minor bugs, but the author is updating the app, so it’s a matter of cleaning it up. Recently, the classifier analysis is backwards, with some crazy HF for lower classes. Sometimes, the shooters all show with 100%, likely a refresh issue with connectivity. Oh, well. Still, the data in the app is as useful for match analysis as a timer is to improving transitions. (I shoot USPSA and am a certified RO. Also have a PhD in computer science, in machine learning.)

Let’s face it! You go to an USPSA, IPSC, IDPA match. Then you get the results and you say “what if I had a Charlie instead of a Mike?” Or “that jam cost me 5 seconds, what if I take off the 5 seconds from that stage?. Well, your prayers have been answered! This app is what you need to figure out exactly what happen during the match. No more guessing work. Need to shave 5 seconds and see the result, do it! Need to compare yourself against other shooter, easy to do. Yes it cost some $, but I guarantee you is totally worth it!

This app is incredibly innovative. They are constantly pushing updates with genius ideas that nobody thought to ask for. Not a perfect app, as it occasionally crashes, but it’s not a big issue as there’s no progress or data to be saved locally.

I’m only writing this review because I clicked on the app help and it’s a broken link. This app is mostly useless in its current form. Cannot use it to sign up for matches. My experience so far is that most matches don’t load the results in a way this app can see them under the results tab. I mostly shoot IDPA and even the state championships don’t show up in the results tab even though they are uploaded to practiscore. Hopefully they fix it. I was gonna donate to practiscore anyways because they’ve helped advance shooting sports, so I’ll just consider the $10 for this app a donation.

PractiScore has brought scoring of competitive shooting tournaments out of the stone ages and into the modern age. The support from PractiScore developers is top notch and the app runs flawlessly on iOS. A definite must have tool for any club.
