Completely useless
This is what happens when a company wants to be "app enabled" but doesn't care to spend money creating something worthwhile. The app doesn't stay connected, gets hung up on firmware updates, and refuses to sync any data. It's also incredibly poorly designed from a UI standpoint.
The keyboard frequently covers the fields you need to access. The data structure and options would have been outdated in 1985. I spent the time to enter my rifles and all my available ammo profiles, only to realize it binds ammo entries to an individual rifle with no way to duplicate or move an entry. The included database is so embarrassingly small and outdated, I don't know why they bother.
The hardware itself is solid, but I'm returning this for a Garmin C1 Xero entirely because this app is an insult to anyone paying money for this product. Do better, Athlon.

Turn Bluetooth “ON” error UPDATE.
Well, I was finally able to get my Rangecraft Velocity Pro connected. It seemed I tried everything, but I think it was a setting on my phone. I was making so many setting changes and doing hard reboots.
After I was successful connecting the rest was rather easy. Updated firmware, created more gun and ammo profiles, etc. I also watched a good YouTube video from Athlon showing additional features and how to make app changes.
I am very happy with the chrono and app at this time. I only wish they had a Vortex Crossfire scope BDC reticle listed, but it is a low cost scope. Sooo, 1star to 5stars.

Frustrating to add information
After a day at the range, I’m trying to add notes to my chronograph data. If you leave the text field and come back, it deletes everything you’ve added in so you need to re-enter it. This also happens when entering titles for the different chronograph data samples. Very frustrating to the point I’m going to write things down on paper and not use the app. Horribly designed user interface.
Third time back to update this review. I was just trying to export my data into a spreadsheet when the app on my phone crashed. When I reopened it all my chronograph data for the day except for one entry was gone. Thankfully, I hadn’t formatted the memory on the chronograph yet so no problem right? Think again. The app and the chronograph will not sync the data that was lost. $200 of ammo used for velocity data and I have nothing to show for it at the end of the day. Thanks for nothing Athlon. The more I use this app, the more I wish I got a Garmin.

Complexed and buggy
I thought getting a higher priced Chronograph was supposed to mean less hassle getting the data when it matters. All I have found is app crashes when accessing it
If you want to get the best out of your chronograph and your an airgun user, be prepared to research the hell out of each pellet to get ballistic Coefficient then figure out the length plus the fps of said pellet before you have shot it through your rifle. The G1 and G7 profiles are not suitable for airguns. For a sub £400 Chrono I expected more. Disappointing does not cover it
