I have been using the Competition Electronics Pocket Pro II for several years.
It’s a decent entry level shot timer. You can catch it on sale for $100 every now and then but the normal price is usually ~$125.
I have used it a lot without issues, even at the indoor range. It has decent battery life and it’s user friendly and easy to figure out.
I haven’t used it much on a crowded range, so I can’t testify to how it will work when lots of other gunshots are going off nearby. I normally have the range to myself. Sometimes cheaper timers have difficulty with a crowded range.

I recommend CED7000. Mine is still going strong after 5 years of heavy use.

+1 on the CED 7000.

I wonder if it was the same one I tried and got the same result…

The AMG timer is worth a look as well. It has Bluetooth and integrates with PractiScore. About the same price as the CED with a cover. (AMG includes cover).

I have yet to read a review on a phone app that worked well. Hopefully someone can change that.

I’ve used them for dry fire with delay / par. They work ok for this purpose. Actual shooting, not so much.

The AMG is probably the top dog these days. I got to "T&E" one for a while last year. If you are not running matches, the advanced features won't mean much to you, but they are nice in different circumstances.
The CED-7000 is a great choice. I've run hundreds of matches with them for many years. They are overpriced these days since they haven't improved and the price has increased. I'd like to see them under $100 these days unless they make a new version with upgrades.
Any of the older style boxy timers would probably work fine for general practice and should be priced better.
As for apps, Surefire made a great one, but stopped supporting it. All the others I've tried have been useless.

The CED 7000 was the only one that would reliably pick up .22 rifle (steel challenge). I’m told that the AMG works as well.

It does. The AMG and CED both can be set to pick up my suppressed 22s.

That pretty much sums up the reviews I've read.

My AMG will reliably pick up dry fire and Airsoft. My CED will pickup Airsoft only if perfectly placed.

If you can stand the 90-120 day wait, I feel the AMG labs timer is the best in the market. I own 2 CED 7000s and now a AMG, and the AMG is better in every way. Larger display, louder, better sensitivity and outside (other lane) shot rejection. Can configure multiple profiles to quickly switch modes.
I’m very impressed with mine so far.
