I created a free shot group calculator app. I want to improve it so please give your feedback!

[SPOTTR]

Hey, Sniper's hide!

I wasn’t happy with expensive ballistic calculators, so I'm creating a free one. In order to improve it, I’ll need your honest feedback!

At this point the app is pretty straightforward but functional. SPOTTR can calculate your shot groups, and keep a shooting diary. You can customize shooting success criteria, set up actionable targets, track results, and share them with friends.

The app gives useful insights and results are presented to be as encouraging as possible. I hope this would be useful for both new gun owners and experienced marksmen, and give you motivation to work on your skills.

You can try SPOTTR for Android devices - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.sport.shooting

Feedback is very welcome as I' deciding what features to add later. What would you request?

 

[Holliday]

Sweet. I currently run Ballistic-X on iOS which I am pretty happy with. Good to see other options available. Hopefully you’ll push to iOS one day.....

 

[SPOTTR]

Thanks Max!
Working on iOS release, ETA later in this year

Any manual or documentation or video?

Not yet, but thanks for the idea. Will make one!

 

[ryu_sekai]

Hmm can't get it to send the verification email..

 

[SPOTTR]

Weird, looking for a fix now!

 

[SPOTTR]

Based on your feedback I'm working on an update that removes monetization and simplifies registration process!

 

[SPOTTR]

An update is OUT! Now the app is completely free. I realized that I should give to the community a working product first, and build it up based on what you request. So please, share your feedback:

- What do you think about the app in its current state?

- How do you usually track your score? Do you use some other ballistic app?

- Is there any specific feature you’d want to see next?

 

[MK20]

Please put it on APKPure. I don't do the Google crap and get my stuff from there.
Thanks.

 

[ShootnFool8]

Downloaded, and going to give it a try. So far, seems easier, than the other apps out there.

 

[waveslayer]

Downloaded it. Could you add in the ability to have multiple calibers within a weapon? For example running my DT I have 5 barrels for it, all different

 

[ShootnFool8]

Don't see a 270 caliber.

Hmm, not yet, should add this option. Thanks!

Will add in future updates. Thanks!

I thought of an idea for the app, I'm not offended if you just ignore the post!

Could you add in a section for reloading data/log. Then start a log book from your app for load development etc..

Be nice to have a good app like this and have a load development /data book attached to reference and look back at. Now I use a binder but wish it was all on an app for ease of use.
Just a thought!

 

[Wagonteeth]

Downloaded and used for my first two targets from the weekend. I like it and it simplified an issue I had with a target I took a photo of but could measure now. I knew the target size but couldn't extrapolate.

Nicely done!

This is a very interesting idea! I want to focus on making basic functionality right first, but I will add this to the backlog!

There's a few apps out that could be a good baseline. PM and I'll share

 

[Wagonteeth]

The only thing that wasn't immediately clear to me was how to save the image. I ended up saving them as pdfs, but didn't dig to see if there was another way.

Yeah, would fix that. Thank you!

The iOS version is finally LIVE! Download SPOTTR here - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spottr-sport-shooting/id1589950981

 

[SPOTTR]

Added a LOT of improvements based on your suggestions. Thanks everyone! Your feedback is very helpful.

 

[JimTN]

Just downloaded the app earlier to play with. How do you delete an image as I apparently did something wrong. Haven't seen that option.

 

[MDof2]

Am I doing something wrong? Don't seem to get anything after "add overlay".

Export just wants to share via email, etc. No overlay, no save, etc.

Hi! All you have to do is to swipe left your result and it will be deleted.

You can just press "back" and the results will be automatically saved so you don't need to share.

Doesn't seem to be doing that for me, but I'll play with a little more later.

Hey there Snipers!
While I'm working on new features, you recommended me to add, let's discuss your experience with SPOTTR. Is it useful for you? How it helps you (or not) to improve your shooting skills?

 

[SPOTTR]

This is great, will have to try it out.

Hi! What is your opinion about the app? It's really important for me

Hey!
Have you tried to save your result photos? How it worked?

 

[MDof2]

Wasn't able to get it to work.
Moved on.

Question: Just downloaded the app. How do I mark more than 1 target in an image?

Could you please tell me what exactly went wrong so I can fix it?

You should click ADD TARGET in the bottom and then choose the next one

 

[SPOTTR]

I'm making a video instruction and will send it as soon as it's ready. Thank you for your feedback so I can see that manual is needed.

 

[cournot]

Thank you.

 

[cournot]

When I tried it, I only got the options New Target Picture or Add Overlay after completely marking one target in the pic. Seems like no other options. Does this require the Pro version?

 

[MDof2]

Could you please tell me what exactly went wrong so I can fix it?

I open the app, I add a pic, set the gun, bullet size, scope, etc.
Add a pic from the gallery.
Select 100 yds
Set 1" reference
Set POA
Add impacts
Then select "Next"
Then tap "Add Overlay".
It is at this very point I'm unsure of what your program is doing. It takes me to this screen which doesn't look like much of an overlay, but more of a footer to the image, with very little detail and zero confirmation or options to do anything. Swiping any direction does nothing.
As best as I can figure, I can't save the file. So do you export here? And export to where? All I can see is to export and email it to myself, or am I supposed to export it to the cloud or something?
Makes no sense at this point and isn't very intuitive.
This is basically the same point I got to last time.
So I moved on and went back to Ballistic-X. I can insert an overlay, add information to the overlay, put the overlay where I want on the target, crop, zoom, etc.

Good luck!

Is this your "overlay" ?

And where do I save this for later reference? Or add powder, velocity, temp, etc.
Or is that not an option?

 

[SPOTTR]

Hey there! I've made a video manual for SPOTTR app and put it on YouTube. You can find it by the link below. Let me know if everything is understandable or I need to improve something

Thanks for your feedback.
Functionality is to be improved and adapted as the development progresses. Right now in pro version (as a one-time purchase) you can leave your notes on the "results" tab. That might not seem too convenient at the moment, but your comments and feedback about it really helps me to figure out what to change in the future.
Thanks once again.
