HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (62 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ When the app works, still has bugs and overheats the phone.
★★★★★ Worked on my old 13 Pro but doesn't work on my new 18 Pro.
★★★★★ It does NOT work with revolvers since the majority of laser bullets have laser beam on while the pin is not released and Laser Academy app records false shots making pretty much all drills useless.
Price and subscription18%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Upgraded to the iPhone 17. This is not compatible. Tried different rooms different backgrounds it will not pick up the target at all. The system is updated to where you need to purchase a weapon that's compatible with…
★★★★★ I really hope they aren't charging a premium for the mediocre app.
★★★★★ I strongly recommend you test the app before you spend any money on this company's app or their “systems.”
Wrong or poor results13%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ So the laser bullets are pretty much useless.
★★★★★ If I move just a bit when shooting it'll read two scores, the second one because I moved. The developer also ruined the voice score announcement. Now it's so quiet and right over the shot sound so it's barely audible…
★★★★★ It does NOT work with revolvers since the majority of laser bullets have laser beam on while the pin is not released and Laser Academy app records false shots making pretty much all drills useless.

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ i've deleted and reinstalled the app about four or five times and still get the same problem.
★★★★★ I deleted the app, reinstalled and tried again.
No customer support5%

★★★★★ Will update this review if support manages to fix it.
Missing features5%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Unfortunately there is no way to properly zero the laser as the software places a huge black box with yellow text hint when you try the shoot to calibrate.
★★★★★ Is there a bug in the recent update or something, or am I missing something on my end.

  • A few more game modes for the dot torture and hunt would be nice. 5★, Feb 3, 2024
  • More sound effects would be awesome, like steel target sounds for hits for instance. 5★, Feb 3, 2024
  • Few feature requests for future: 1) would be nice to store laser offset per gun 2) a bit more interactivity in training - encourage when user starts hitting better, set some bar to pass in shooting exercises, etc. 5★, Jan 3, 2024
  • I wish they had better explanations of what is expected. 5★, Dec 29, 2023
  • I have just outgrown it and need a lot more. 5★, Nov 4, 2023

Sucks

Ever since they had an update about a year ago it has been unusable. Cannot turn phone on it’s side to mirror on tv which I was able to do and support couldn’t understand how I was able to do it. Cannot detect all targets even with filter on.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026
Great!!

I have such better accuracy after just a couple days of use.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
Apps been down for over a month

When the app works, still has bugs and overheats the phone. App down for over a month with no fixes pushed out? That experience plus the bugs = 1 star behavior.

★★★★★Oct 6, 2026
Learning a lot

Taking what instructors have taught while applying the feedback from Mantis, the accuracy of my shots, speed between shots, and overall confidence has improved.

★★★★★Sep 25, 2026
Doesn't work on 18 Pro

Basically title. Worked on my old 13 Pro but doesn't work on my new 18 Pro. Not sure if it's the hardware or iOS 27 but the app isn't compatible with at least one of them. When you start a drill the area of the screen that would normally show the camera is black and says "calibrating". It never calibrates. Hope it gets fixed soon

★★★★★Aug 25, 2026
App needs improvement

Update: Me again. My phone overheats like crazy. I can only get like two courses in before it gets really bad. Once improvement would be to reduce the time the camera is active. When displaying the instructions, no need to have the camera active. When a course is completed, again immediately turn off camera. Original: Great way to practice your shots, and fun for a group to practice. The app can use a lot of improvements. As a developer, I’d be happy to help out and take this app to the next level: Better courses, ability to select trainings/course by target, more games/challenges. My number 1 wishlist is ability to select trainings based off target. For the fun targets, the only way to practice them is to select a course and skip to the target we want, like “Control” and “Circles”. If interested in help, please reply with an email to reach out to, I’d love to help improve something I’d regularly use, and I’m willing to offer my services for a kit or the similar (great discount for a senior dev). I’m actually hoping I can partner with your team 🙏🏻 My email is sudo-dre@gmail
