Caldwell Precision Chronograph app good for
Does the app need an update after iOS 16.0? The app simply dosen't want to load anymore.....
Have the G2, tried synching using bluetooth didnt work until I read the constructions and sync'd up within app... Program worked great, after each group I saved and created a new group using a ladder affect to test loads in .2grn increments. I cannot seem to get the app to email me the saved groups data though. All the data is there and it goes through the motions to email or send sms but I never get the email or sms message?????
I opened the box and check that all the parts were there, they were.
I read the instructions until I understood each step, then I took it out and gave it a try.
I connected the 15 cord and opened the app on my iPhone 6s, turned on the chronograph all in the correct sequence listed in the instructions.
Everything worked flawlessly the try, the only option I didnt try was the Bluetooth option. At this time it was not necessary since I had the 25 cord supplied with the unit.
Im 100% satisfied with my purchase, I may invest in the lighting kit if it becomes necessary.
Great product, I would recommend it to a friend for sure.

I dont know what you other guys are using but it worked perfectly for me on a iPhone 5c (iOS 7) and on a iPhone 5s (iOS 9). The only problem I have had is the factory cable attached to a Lifeproof adapter, fixed that with a 3rd party male to male threaded for Lifeproof case data cable.
Chronograph shipped with a bad cable and did not work to start with. Call tech-support they shipped a new cable right away and everything works great!
Overall this app does exactly what it claims to do. It records each shot velocity and keeps a running history of all shoe strings. Adding target pictures with each string is a nice touch.
The weather updates currently do not work. It appears there was a change in this version to use weather underground, but temp and humidity show as n/a after a few second delay while the app tries to get current conditions.
I shot 15 strings of 5 shots on Friday. Had 2 errors in reading and had to restart the chrono twice. I think those were chrono/weather problems - the app kept working.
Suggestions for the developers:
- when I start a new group and the chrono is connected, start recording. Dont make me tap "start"
- fix weather lookup (Im guessing you know about that)
- add humidity and altitude lookup along with temp and pressure. We have to write these down, so if you are collecting 2 of the 4 necessary environmentals, you may as well get all 4 automatically (or use absolute/station pressure & temp & humidity)
- you have two fields for "notes" on each shot string. These are probably going to be for the firearm and the ammo. How about making a list where I can enter the firearms and loads and choose or not. I think this is what you are trying to do with "templates", but the UI of templates doesnt really match how most apps work so its not as intuitive to use as a customized list for each notes field.
- show the notes fields all the time ... Dont hide them and make me tap the arrow to show the info
Thanks
Some bad moments
I cannot get the environment conditions to come up on the app. It gives me a "N/A" for both temperature and pressure.
Works fine outside, slight hiccup in range you need to use the lights, wish it would rotate on my iPad as it is easier to read, haven't managed to connect to my Samsung Galaxy A5 yet. Outside on the range it worked great, gave me all the info I needed help in getting my reloads better.
Purchased the chronograph that this app is intended for and tried downloading the app and it just shows up a dark icon as if its still downloading or waiting to be. I tried to delete it and it wont come off my phone. Try to download it again and it just says "open" in the App Store as if it is downloaded. But when you hit open it does nothing! Very Disappointed to have paid that much money for the chronograph and cant get the app to work!
Version 1.18 refuses to load. I had previous versions and worked fantastic. So now i have lost everything. Thanks
Have had it out twice now and would never register anything when using the supplied phone cord. Bluetooth never would connect. Had to delete and reinstall the app because after I tried Bluetooth, it kept trying to connect with Bluetooth and wouldnt recognize the cord was plugged in. Will try it a third time whenever I get back out, but not holding my breath. Pretty worthless so far.
Tried to connect this to my iPhone and also my IPad , when connecting to Bluetooth it states Pairing unsuccessful "CaldwellCrono not supported" pretty sad you release a product and it does not work like expected.
