Functional, Mostly

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.
