Product updates
Shot detection now uses the Apple Watch microphone
Shotbud no longer requires your iPhone to process audio detection – improving performance and ease‑of‑use.
Hello!
We hope and wish everyone and their families are doing well during these difficult and troubling times.
Our apologies for the lack of updates, posts and the delay in announcing the first beta version of Shotbud, which has been live on the App Store since late 2020. We made a soft announcement via our social media and deeply thank everyone who has tried and tested Shotbud so far. From the start, we were committed to bringing the best experience and performance possible and would not entertain the thought of charging users for something we were not happy with and would not use and train with ourselves.
Shotbud in this latest beta is performing to a level we are happy with and we hope you will be satisfied. We are excited for you to try and test this latest version.
The NEW free beta version will be live via the App Store (version 1.3).
Since the last version, we have:
- Enhanced shot detection across all presets: Live Fire, Dry Fire, CO2 Dry Fire, and Airsoft
- Fixed a bug where the par buzzer would sometimes be detected as a shot
- Improved split time detection to 0.14 seconds (from 0.22s)
- Fixed various other bugs
Shotbud will remain free of charge until feedback and user satisfaction of the beta is as close to 100% on our Shot Detection and App User Feedback We tried to make the feedback as intuitive and as quick and easy as possible and highly encourage everyone to fill out.
Before we begin to roll out new features and other enhancements in the app, we want to ensure the App performance and shot detection is working flawlessly for all users, especially with different series of devices.
Please utilize the Shot Detection and App User Feedback, as it is going to give us the most direct feedback and will better help to support basic troubleshooting.
