Frequently asked questions

Can I add more gates later to record additional split times?

Yes. If you want to add split timing gates 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 complete acceleration and top speed analysis.

How accurate is the timing?

LiDAR detection provides consistent, high accuracy timing with accuracy of ±0.01s. While we can't claim to match certified photocells used in elite competition, the accuracy and 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+). The iPhone app supports single athlete timing, while the iPad app supports timing for multiple athletes simultaneously.

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 (iPhone app), or up to 2 at a time with the iPad app. 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.
