Shot timer for iPhone

[Poxbox]

I don't see anything recent for this subject in the forums so I guess it's time to bring it up again. Does anyone have a recommendation for a shot timer app for an iPhone. Why do you like it?

Just spend the $120 and buy a real shot timer. Mine has worked well over the last 5 years or so.

I have no experience with the apps but I've "heard" they're not nearly as good as a real shot timer - can't say that surprises me.

Just my $0.02

I feel like this is the answer every time this comes up.

If only there were other threads on the topic to spam instead of starting a new one every year or so...(though I guess there's the risk of getting yelled at for necro-posting, because we're fickle and impossible to please)

edit - oh wait, found a couple:

Shot Timers

Went out shooting a few days ago with a friend and we started practicing with a shot timer app. It worked well but it made me curious about some real shot timers. Who uses a real shot timer and what kind is it? How much better is it than the (free) apps available?

iPhone Shot timers

I was looking into getting a shot timer. Then someone pointed out that there are plenty of free ones for the iPhone. Does anyone have any experience with these? Are these units just wastes of money now?

Apple Watch as shot timer

It struck me that the Apple Watch that was announced today could make a good shot timer. Like many others, I use a shot timer app on my iPhone, but it really only works when I'm alone at the indoor range. When I'm not, the timer app detects the other people's shots as well, and adjusting the...

it is quite logical as those who are into the sport just buy a proper device, and those who are not do not know which app to use as they do not know what is it they need.
and those with devices are not going to waste time looking at apps.
just looking at the app store of boredom - it seems there are just 5-6 apps there for that, most have shitty reviews and if one wants - it should not take too much time to download and try them out.
