Works well but not in landscape mode
I just got the new DLX model. It worked fine after I found the proper distance to be from the screens. I carried my iPad Pro so I could look at the data on a larger screen than my iPhone X. The app doesn’t work in landscape mode & I don’t have a case that lets me us the iPad in Portrait mode. That’s my only complaint so far.Show less12Sh00ter
Doesn't work
Won't link up. Says "Not Supported"Garkam
Good but not competitive
Good basic functionality, but missing features Caldwell has - pictures, group size finder, etc
There are two kinds of Chrony owners - those that have shot their chronograph, and those that will someday. If I join the first group I'll get a different onerkhyp1
Works great with Bluetooth for pistol and rifle
I've used this app to chronograph pistol and rifle loads, works great, esp. when using the iPad app and Bluetooth.CarolinaTerry
Does what it should perfectly, but needs a little more
This app works exactly as intended and it is nice to have nearly unlimited shot data in my pocket at all times to reference wherever I go and whenever I want. If I have nothing else on me I will always have my phone. Plus It really beats having to go through the shots and manually write them down. The various data calculations it produces makes determining load effectiveness fun and easy, and it will save you hours of calculating.
What I would change or add to the app:
1. Allow the user to group shot data sets by gun, caliber, load type, etc. This would be a huge improvement, as currently there is no way to digitally organize the data, which is needed for a completely independent digital data source.
2. Allow user to undelete a shot or manually add a shot velocity.
3. Allow the user to scroll through data sets by swiping across the screen, rather than going back to the menu and clicking the next data set. No big deal, just a small convenience improvement.
That being said, these are some small issues and I am still rating it 5 stars. This current chrono setup is very easy and was not all that expensive. Great value.Show lessBhdnjgdgh
App works as designed, great support
I upgraded my iPhone to IOS10 on the day it was released, only to find that this app no longer worked. I contacted Competition Electronics on September 14. They had an update ready by the 16th, and it was delivered today, the 19th. The Digital Link app works exactly as advertised, and CE's customer support is stellar.Show lessjcuccia
Exceeded Expectations
I don't write many reviews
This is a well functioning and thoughtfully designed app! It's well rounded to with functionality in the right places including exporting options.
One thing I would like to see, is the ability to save specific "rounds" in a customized preset list. The app currently lets you "duplicate" for additional strings, but a saved preset would be great for shooting on different days and quick recall, instead of hunting/pecking.
Great Job!Show lessLIVE player
Very good app
Nice app works well.
Couple recommendations to enhance the app. First allow the screen to rotate to either axis.
Second add some additional fields in the list. Bullet type, bullet manufacturer, powder type and number of grains of powder used, primer type, brass type, OAL, gun description. Or just make an option for user to create additional fields.
Great job keep up the good work!Show lessrottnchi
Improves an already great product!
I have heard for years about chronographs being so cantankerous. However the Competition Electronics Pro Chrono has proven to be very easy to use, and very reliable. What could make this better? This great app to interface it with my iPhone.
It has worked amazingly well with the optional Bluetooth Digital Link adapter I also bought. This was the entire reason I opted to buy these units, and they did not let me down. The app has been very easy to use, and very easy to read at the range thanks to some smart screen color options. The available voice reading the velocities has also proven to be useful in bright sunlight.
Getting the data out has numerous options including text messaging and email, which is made sharing them and getting them back to the computer quite simple.
Something as simple as being able to rotate the phone to either enlarge the last shot velocity in landscape or see the entire shot string in upright portrait is exactly the kind of intelligent choice I would expect of the merging software developers and actual users. The development team has created a really impressive addition to Competition Electronics' product and I can recommend the combination of their hardware and this software highly. Great job!Show lessMNinAZ
Won't save the decimal for bullet weight in grains.
UPDATE#3 Jan, 2016. Won't SAVE the decimal point, for bullet weight in grains for new shot-string iPhone 6+.
Thank you for adding a decimal, but it won't save after I've entered 14.66, it only saves as "14"
Please alow SAVING decimal point in bullet weight. Decimal point is missing after saving. I was able to put 14.3 and 14.66 grains. But it only saved "14"
Please fix asap.
I don't want to rate yet, but I have too, bummer. I guess I will give two stars until this is fixed then 5 stars.
UPDATE - I left a voicemail at competition electronics about this issue for air gun pellet grains and a very nice gentleman called me back. Maybe I was a little too hasty with the two stars :/ I never wanted to rate it then anyway.
Anyways, he basically said that with bullet weight grains in the fractions with "Firearms" were not either common or just weren't. I don't shoot I firearm so I don't know, but
I basically told him that air gun "Pellets" are most commonly fractional, and they are, see Pyramyd Air website.
I also mentioned that firearm owners who make their own custom ammo rounds and want to test them, could very well create "fractional" firearm bullets, these people need to chrony them to test their creations for absolute FPE etc...
I sincerely believe he understood that a small programming change to the mathematical calculator or to the key-pad to add at least, "two decimal places" would be a good idea and not exclude the whole "air gun" community, or the "custom ammunition" community.
He said that he would tell the programmers and now I am anxiously awaiting an update to this awesome application.
I think 3 stars is definitely in order at this point, and as I said before, I think I'm going to give it 5 stars after the update. Cheers!
UPDATE - #2 July.
Apparently "Competition Electronics" has a lot on their plate at the moment. 7-15-2015
---Earlier in this review I assured the "CUSTOM GRAIN AMMUNITION LOAD" and the "FIELD TARGET ASSOCIATION" and the "PELLET GUN" or "PELLET RIFLE" and or PAINT BALL" Crowd that CE, otherwise known as "COMPETITION ELECTRONICS" would update this app for custom grains or should I say, bullet weight...with a decimal point in the keyboard or keypad, and a slight programming change in the applications code to calculate the exact FPE or foot pound energy.
I sincerely believed CE, so I'm a bit baffled the update did not make it into this iteration or version.
Suffice to say they must have much on their plate, however it's a little baffling because on the box of the digital pro chronograph it specifically mentioned that this chrony was used in a MAJOR international "field target" competition, as their official chronograph, I believe...
Anyways it's a bit confusing to me. And I'm not sure if I should feel neglected or cut them some slack, I really want to cut them some slack, it's summer for goodness sake and maybe many of their crew is on vacation, or maybe it's a non-issue because of the light weight of pellets, but what about the true firearms crowd who create custom rifle rounds with black powder? to this I can only speculate.
HONESTLY I really just don't know... I AM NEW TO PELLET GUNS, so I can't really say that I really know what I'm talking about,
but I feel sure that they must be missing a few important target demographics. I.E the custom ammunition crowd and the pellet gun crowd.
What I do know is that PYRAMYD AIR, has almost a hundred if not more varieties of pellets, and many, many of them are not in the whole number of grains, but instead they are for example, in 14.66 grains and 14.3 grains, and 18.1 grains and 21.7 grains, etcetera, etc.
Which it would seem important, but not necessarily so.
So my fellow chronographers, we are in a state of confusion at the moment, chime in and check back frequently to see more updates in this saga, and please let me know if I'm out of line for calling CE out on this, I'd be interested to know.
Honestly I'm just looking for the real deal and want competition electronics to be the industry leaders they are and continue to be in the new Bluetooth technology age, sure I'm giving them a push, but honestly it's because I like them and don't want to see them replaced. Companies come and go in this new technology era and I've invested in them and I just want to see them overcome the competition, after all, they are competition electronics, and they rock in chronographs, let's help them together, chime in and offer your opinions PLEASE. Also the "Biometric pressure" has the decimal point, so what gives?
Thank you, and be sure to tell competition electronics that you fully support their mission as well.
If I'm wrong I will quickly and wholeheartedly admit it, but more importantly I will write up a glowing review to attest to their "OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SUPPORT"
Please help clarify. Thank you.Show lessPlease correct this issue.
