Frequently asked questions

Can I add more gates later to do split timing?

Yes. If you want to add split timing later, you can purchase additional gates individually and they'll work with your existing Hub. Many coaches start with the Starter Pack and upgrade to 3-4 gates for acceleration profiling.

How accurate is the timing?

LiDAR detection provides consistent, repeatable timing. While we can't claim to match certified photocells used in elite competition, the repeatability (test-retest reliability) is excellent for training decisions.

Do I need an iPhone or iPad to use this?

Yes. The SplitFast Timing App currently runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 14+). Android support is on the roadmap but not available yet.

What if I'm coaching groups of 6-8 athletes?

The Starter Pack works for groups, but athletes need to run one at a time through the gates. If you regularly time multiple athletes simultaneously, consider the Elite Pack (4 gates) or Club Pack (8 gates) for multi-lane timing.

Is there a subscription for the app?

No. The SplitFast Timing App is included free with your kit purchase. No monthly fees, no subscriptions.
