Caldwell Cronograph
Unboxed the unit, checked out all the parts, read the instructions, charged the battery, hooked everything up, turned it on and took some shots. Everything worked exactly as advertised. Couldn’t be happier and I’m glad I made the purchase.
Good functionality, needs a key improvement
I got the chrono for its innovative upside down design that avoids glare from sun. The Bluetooth function is a huge help and it was another key reason for buying the unit. One BIG improvement the app needs is to export a CSV file(s) of the shot strings. This would make importing data into spreadsheets really easy. If the CSV export were added, my rating would move from 3 to 5! Are you watching this, Caldwell?

iPhone 7, 8, X
Anyone got this to work on the newer iPhones that don’t have a headphone jack? Looks like a couple people have tried using a 3.5mm to Lightning adapter in the past and it didn’t work. I was wondering if it worked now with the newer iOS.
Ok app
Not the best app out there. Would be a great app when they update to use on iPhone 7. When connecting to iPhone 7 the app does not recognize the chrono. Works great on my old iPad but not on my new iPhone. Very disappointed.
iPhone 7. Won't pick up that it's connected
Can't get it to work on my iPhone 7. iPad works and iPhone 6 works but won't show connected when plugging in lighting port adapter and the jack for some reason. Prob iPhone software so Ima give it a 4 just for that. If it connected to my iPhone 7 then I'd give it 5
Needs to be able to sync with apps on other devices
I like the Chronograph and the app but it would be a lot nicer if the app would sync to other devices. Personally I like being able to record the data on my iphone but since the phone screen is so small it would be really nice to sync that data with my ipad and be able to view and edit the data on my ipad.
Also the bullet data is pretty far out of date. There is no bullet data for Hornady ELD-X bullets as yet and these have been out for a quite a while now.

Camera
I called...after you save the group open it up and hit the EDIT now the camera is available. Next after you take the picture you touch the pic and tap the points
New hornady eld-x
When will the new bullets be added to the list? The hornady eld-x are not listed in the app. The Berger manufacturer doesn't have .338 for a caliber when they've made them for a while now... Would be much nicer than typing them in every different load.
Chrono works as expected
I bought this to measure my reloads and this chronograph works great. Tripod is sturdy, whole unit and app works great. The only downside I would have to say is the app in which we can add brands of cartridges and bullet size. It does not want to add three digits for bullet size. It will use the first two digits only. For example if I would insert 0.224 it will show 0.22 and for 9mm I would but 0.355 it would put 0.36. Also the app will not add to and existing brand. If I wanted to add Federal brand of cartridge it will create a new field. Also could add plated bullets brands or just played bullets to the app.

Works great, no problems
I didn't have a problem with connection to my ipad. I had a problem connecting it to my iphone, but it was my fault. When you open the app for the first time, it will ask permission to access the mic. I clicked no and it wouldn't connect until i gave the app permission. The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is the app will not rotate when you rotate the ipad. Very frustrating when i have it in the keyboard dock. If they fix it, it would be 5 stars all the way.
