Pro Starter is for athletes who want to practice starts while training.

If you are training alone or each athlete wants to start at the same time, Pro Starter will be your starter. Place it on the start line and press Start. Pro Starter will call out clear commands of a normal athletic Start Sequence.

The Start Sequence is: “On Your Marks”, “Set”, and pistol fire.

You control the timed gaps between the commands using the stretch ribbon control in the middle of the screen.

Under “Settings” you can also enable “Gun Variance”. This will vary the time between “Set” and the pistol fire. The variance will help you practice for races when starters are inconsistent at competitions.

- Pro Starter Connect -
Pro Starter Connect is a feature that allows you to have a “Starter” device and a “Gun” device.

Using Bluetooth, two iOS devices can connect so that one device acts as the “Starter” and the other as the “Gun”. The “Starter” device then controls the “Gun” device, starting, resetting and stopping the Start Sequence on the “Gun” device remotely.

Leave the “Gun” device at the start line and take the “Starter” device to the finish line. The “Starter” remotely controls the “Gun”. If the pistol fires on the “Gun” device the “Starter” device can record the winning athletes time.

Support for this feature is only provided on Apple devices that support Bluetooth 4 LE. This includes the following devices: iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and newer, iPad 3rd gen, 4th gen and newer, iPad Mini 1st gen and newer.

Note: Pro Starter Connect uses Bluetooth 4 LE to connect the two devices. The distance that the two devices can connect varies depending on conditions.
