Caldwell Precision Chronograph App Reviews

This app works well on my iPad 3s, iPad Air 2s and my iPhone 6 Plus but NOT on iPhone 6. No support threw company to figure it out. Other have complained about this as well. It says its connected but doesnt read shots. Hope they get this fixed soon!

The app used to work ok, but had it quirks even then. Now it crashes all the time and Ive had several load testing sessions now that are lost because the app failed to record the data. Its a shame the software doesnt work because thats one of the main reason I purchased this chronograph over others. Im using a iPhone 6.

I have an iPhone 6 and the app wont even download to it. It did download to my iPad mini. I would much rather have my phone then to carry around the iPad at the range. Little disappointed

Itll let you know if chrono is hooked up or not but other than that it gets no information from the chronic making it completely useless. Im using iphone6. Do they test these updates before releasing them? Im not the only report of the app being broke on iPhone 6. There is no website or phone number to call for help.

This app provides basic functionality for the Caldwell Chronograph. As mentioned by others it is occasionally unstable. I experience this as a complete app crash when creating a new group. It will continue to crash everytime a new group is opened. So far, rebooting my iPad has fixed this problem, although sometimes it just quits crashing after a few reps. This may be iOS version-related. Ive used it successfully with an iPad Air and iPad Air 2 with iOS versions 8 and 9. Overall, this app provides a better way of collecting data than any other chronograph Ive seen. I use it with an external keyboard/stand on the range bench. The ability to set groups up before going to the range is useful, as is the ability to email the data, but the facility for both of these is primitive, at best. There seems to be a capability to get the environment conditions (temp/humidity) via the Internet but this works erratically even with a good network connection. I get false readings from the strobe that flashes on the range curing cease fire and from my .357 Magnum if the chronograph is closer than about 10 feet, but this is a chronograph issue not an app issue. What I want from the app: 1. Ability to edit the bullet list. It is so large and unwieldy as to be almost useless. I appreciate the effort by Caldwell to provide the bullet data, but PLEASE let me remove the 99% of the bullets I dont use and wont ever use. The ability to add bullets to the list is appreciated and useful. 2. The ability to export the data in CSV format. This is crucial. I spend a lot of time converting from text and reformatting the data in a spreadsheet. The data is sent via email in a text format. Very clunky. 3. I appreciate keeping the UI and database simple, but having data fields for powder type and weight, in addition to bullet type would be very helpful when developing loads. This would be especially useful if a database of powder was available, like the bullet DB. There are other improvements to the UI that could be made to improve efficiency of use but these are a nice-to-have.

No issues to date. Hasnt crashed on me yet like others state. Ability to take photos and measure group size is a little confusing at first but once figured out is a great tool. The chrono itself is great but sometimes picks up errors in between shots which is annoying but so far havent experienced any negative impacts from the app yet.

App crashes when the first shot is fired after a new group is started.
