Good App. 3 recommendations for improvement

Overall, I am happy with this app, but I do have three recommendations for improvements (see below). I have been using this app with the caldwell chronograph and an iphone 6 (w/ IOS 8, 9, and now 10), connected together with the headphone cord. I like how the app stores the strings, allows you to edit them, add comments to them, and even email them for later editing in excel. My three recommendations for improvement are:

1: Allow the user to manually override the temperature and baro. press. Last night at the range, there was a 5degree difference between what temp that the app was pulling from the weather service, and what my thermometer was measuring. In the past, I have also seen differences beween my barometer reading, and the pressure that the app is pulling from the weather service. When these differences occur, there is no way to override it, so you just have to make a note in your log book, email youself the string, then manually edit it in excel.

2: Add a configuration setting where the user can choose to allow the phone to enter sleep mode or not. I have found that if you plug in the headphone cord first, then launch the app, the phone will stay on during the whole shot string and not go into sleep mode. launch the app befor plugging in the phone cord, the phone will go into sleep mode (after a short period of not touching the screen or buttons) and it will miss shots. Even if you plug the cord in first and launch the app. (to keep it from going into sleep mode), but then later unplug the cord (for example, to walk downrange and take a pick of your group size), and plug the cord back in without closing and restarting the app, the phone will start go into sleep mode after a short period of inactivity too.

3. Add the ability to manually add a shot to a stored string. The app lets you edit or delete a stored shot from a string, but it will not allow you to add a new one. This ability would be handy when a shot is missed because the phone went into sleep mode. This has happened to me a few times. When the phone sleeps, the chrono will read the shot and display the velocity on its screen, but the app will not store it because the phone was sleeping. In these cases, I had to record the shot(s) in my log book, then manually calculate the correct the average, SD, and spread because I was not able to add it to the string.
