This one looks good on paper. ER, monitor. Are there better ones?

"Splits is a shot timer. In fact, Splits is more than just a shot timer. Splits records the time of your first shot, shot to shot split times, mag changes, elapsed times and even includes a simple means to record accuracy. Splits can save your shot strings to your device’s storage so that you can monitor your progress. Splits is very good at recognizing when a shot has occurred. However, it is not a dedicated shot timer. When there is a need to adjust its sensitivity, due to environmental conditions or surrounding activity, Splits is easy to adjust. On the main panel is a quick action adjustment. Or, for fine tuning, Splits provides a visual presentation of your shot string with the ability to adjust the device’s sensitivity. Splits does need permission to store your shot string history on your device’s storage and to access your device’s microphone. The storage question often asks for permission to access “files and pictures”. This is a general question. Splits does not access pictures. Splits is almost as good as the dedicated shot timers costing $100 or more. However, Splits is free! You can spend your money on ammo or other accessories instead. The free version of Splits has all the functionality of the paid version. The only difference is that the paid version removes the advertising."

The concept is fine, the reality not so much.
I had "Splits" on my phone. Not anymore.
If you are shooting with other shooters in the vicinity you just can't hear the beep.
The tiny speaker in a cell phone just can't compete with a real shot timer.
It's not just the volume, it's frequency as well.
The cost of a shot timer is money well spent.

Tried the apps. They didn't reliably register shots so you never really know if you were getting good data or not. I spent $100 on a Pocket Pro and never looked back. I use it all the time. Money well spent.
