I recently released an iOS app called Range Book to the App Store and I’m looking for some honest feedback.
A bit of back story… a few months ago, in order to get a better idea on how my shooting was improving (or not), I decided to start tracking more detailed information about my visits to the local range. I took a look in the App Store and downloaded the highest reviewed range logging app I could find.
A couple days later I took a trip to the range and when I started entering data into the app I immediately became frustrated. The app was incredibly confusing and complicated, and had a bunch of required fields that I didn’t care about or remember the values of (it basically forced me to enter in a bunch false data). Basically, this turned something I enjoy into tedious work, so I decided to just try a different app.
Over the next few weeks, I downloaded all of the range logging apps I could find and, one by one, I was continually disappointed with the quality, ease of use, and unnecessary complexity of every app out there.
This is when I decided that maybe I could do better and I begin developing Range Book.
Range Book is a simple log for keeping track of visits to the shooting range. Currently, you can save target images with data about your range visit and record data about your guns and ammo. Also, if your phone has a passcode, your data is fully encrypted.
See the iTunes page for more info and screenshots: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/range-book/id1441607048
I’m looking for some honest feedback about the current state of Range Book. Basically, I’m unsure where to spend my time improving the app and I wanted to gather some feedback to make a more informed decision.
Here are a couple questions that would be incredibly helpful to hear your thoughts on:
Are you interested in downloading Range Book?
If you are interested in downloading Range Book, what would you like to see that would make you want to leave a 5 star review?
If you’re not interested in downloading Range Book, what would you like to see that would make you to download it?
Any other thoughts or feedback?
Thank you for your time!
