I'm looking for a shot timer app for an Android phone that works and is preferably free.  The last one I tried only worked 50% of the time.  Unfortunately, it was random in it's failures so I never knew if a string of shots was going to be recorded until after I got done shooting.  Very frustrating.

What do you recommend?

(If you have a good one that works on an IPod I could use that too.)

I've used 2 or 3, can't remember the names. There's an IPSC one that I use because it has a par timer (which only goes in 1 second increments), but none will reliably detect shots.

The Surefire app for apple products works very well.

I use the IPSC one. Works well if you calibrate it.
There's several free ones with the same or similar names

Another paid timer I may try out sometime

Trust me if you want to train with a shot timer get a real one and don't rely on an app. version of one. You will only get frustrated with an app.

I use the IPSC timer for my dry fire practice as my Pocket Pro II won't pick up the striker fire of my Glocks.

This just going to be an occasional thing.  I'm just looking to get a measuring stick.  I'm not getting into serious training
