Features

Everything for training and competition.

Three ways to score. Rounds with any number of sections. Set-system matches. And analysis that shows where you're heading.

Score the way that suits you

Tap the hit directly on the target face; a loupe shows what your finger hides. Prefer typing? Use the keypad. Photographed the target? Place the markers on the photo.

  • Target face, keypad or target photo
  • WA/FITA 10, 5 and 6 rings, 3-spot, WA field
  • Free training without a fixed number of ends

A photo instead of a scorecard

Photograph the face, tap the ring value, drag the marker onto the arrow. The photo stays with the end.

Shot at an angle? No problem.

The perspective correction lays a template over the photo. Afterwards the markers are real positions on the face.

Rounds with sections

Each section with its own face, size and distance, from the WA 1440 to a field round.

Round with four sections at 90, 70, 50 and 30 metresRound with four sections at 90, 70, 50 and 30 metres

Equipment and setups

Bows, limbs, sights and arrows. Several setups per bow, sight marks per distance. Recurve, barebow, compound and longbow.

Timer and arrow counter

Shooting time with preparation, shooting and warning, haptic and audible. Count arrows outside of rounds, day by day.

Personal profile

Optional: name, club and profile picture. In a match your first name then appears instead of “Me”.

Target photo

Photograph the target. Done.

No copying, no scorecard. One photo per end, tap the ring value in the palette, press and hold to lift the marker and place it precisely with the loupe. The values feed into the total and the statistics, the photo stays as evidence.

  • One photo per end, instantly visible in the end list
  • Perspective correction with five handles and an automatic suggestion
  • Works even with the outer edge cut off; if the angle is too steep, the app declines instead of guessing

Competition

Matches, the way they're shot.

The Olympic set system and cumulative compound scoring are built in, as individual, team and mixed team. The round shows the set score, all sets and the winner; on a tie the shoot-off follows.

  • Six WA formats, sets and arrows follow the format
  • Enter the opponent's set total while scoring
  • Shoot-off including who was closer to the centre

Your data

Stays yours.

ArrowNotes is built as a local training log. No account with the developer, no tracking, no ads.

Stored locally

Everything lives on your device. Without sync, not a single record leaves the iPhone.

iCloud optional

If you want, your private iCloud account keeps iPhone and Watch in sync, with your Apple ID and no sign-up.

Export and import

Back up your data as a file and restore it. Where the file goes is up to you.

No analytics

The app collects no analytics or usage data. The data donation for arrow detection is voluntary and off by default.

FAQ

Quick answers.

The most common questions about price, account, photos and backup. Everything else is in the FAQ and the manual.

All questions
What does ArrowNotes cost?

Nothing. Every feature is free: no subscription, no running costs, no ads. There is no limit on the number of rounds either.

Do I need an account?

No. ArrowNotes stores your data on the device. Only if you enable iCloud sync is it also kept in your private iCloud account. Your Apple ID is all it takes.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No, they stay on your device and, if you enabled sync, in your private iCloud account. Only the voluntary training data donation uploads the corrected crop of the target face anonymously, revocable at any time.

Can I export my data?

Yes, in the settings, as a file. Importing restores that state and replaces all existing data. Target photos are deliberately not part of the file, but they are synchronised via iCloud.

Next end, cleanly noted.

ArrowNotes is free on the App Store, with no subscription and no account.
