Less setup,
more shooting.

Archery scoring for iPhone. Fast to use, quiet by design.

Download on the App Store Free. The whole app.
Scoring a WA 10-Ring session in Simple Arrows, with three arrows plotted on the face.

It knows the round

Pick a face.
Start shooting.

No list of formats to scroll first. Simple Arrows reads the face and the shape of your ends, works out the round, and offers to finish it when you get there.

If it isn't sure, it asks. If it's wrong, one tap fixes it.

A three-spot session in Simple Arrows, with the app offering to end it as a Vegas 300.

Focus Mode

Shoot without the running total
or the average.

Turn it on and both disappear. You still see your marks and the end you are on. Nothing climbs in the corner of your eye.

It all comes back when you finish. The score is what happened, not what you aim at.

Insights

A sentence, not a dashboard.

Every session is kept. The app reads them back in plain language: how much you shot, what held steady, what moved.

It won't invent a trend from three sessions, and it won't hand you statistics to interpret yourself.

Design principles

What the app is judged against.

Not marketing lines. The constraints every new feature has to survive, written down so they are harder to quietly abandon.

Quiet

Never competes with the shot for attention.

Frictionless

Fewer taps, fewer decisions. The app infers what it can, so you never configure your way to scoring.

Fast

Keeps pace with the archer. Never interrupts the rhythm.

Private

Sessions stay on your device and sync through your own iCloud. No account. Analytics stay off until you turn them on.

Delightful

Useful and beautiful are not opposites. Small interactions should feel considered.

Useful, not exhaustive

More data is not better data. Show what could change how someone trains. Leave the rest out.

Get involved

Better with archers in it.
