What's New in Athlon Ballistics

1.1.1

October 14, 2026

If you are updating from version 1.0.42 or older: corrected air-density math can move long-range holds, for example about 4.7 MOA at 1000 yd. If you adjusted muzzle velocity or BC to match your hits, check again. - More reliable session backup and sync. - Automatic chronograph connection and a new Live screen. - Athlon DCM thermal scope support, with holdover marks from your profiles. - Better firmware updates, sign-in and translations; fewer crashes. If a session saved in grams shows a very small bullet weight, open Edit Projectile and type the weight again.

Smooth operator

I have had excellent results with the ballistic app. I use it for 22lr and once you have all your information input it is spot on. I have also helped several folks set theirs up at the range that didn’t have anything and it was a great quick way to get them some help for ballistic s so they had an enjoyable day.

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you, and thanks for helping other shooters at the range! Version 1.1.1, now on the App Store, adds automatic chronograph connection, a new Live screen and more reliable session backup. Please update to get the latest improvements.

Was ok until it wasn’t

I had a lot of data and range sessions in the app. One day it just crashed and wouldn’t open again. I restarted the app, my phone, etc. Didn’t matter. I finally had to delete the app to reinstall it, hoping data would still be in there. NOPE. All of that data—POOF! What a piece of trash totally frustrating DISGRACE

Response from developer

Hi Andy, we're very sorry you lost your sessions. Version 1.1.1, now on the App Store, fixes many crashes and backs every session up to your account, so a reinstall no longer wipes them. Sessions on your chronograph (it keeps the last 50) sync again after you sign in and connect. Please update; if anything is missing, email contact@athlonoptics.com.

Was working well, sync is broken

Update: well I gave up and ordered the Garmin Xero C2. The Athlon hardware and pricing is excellent but this app needs major work. I can’t get data to sync reliably and the app only shows a fraction of the sessions on the chronograph itself. It’s too bad as the device is great. Deleting, re-pairing, syncing, nothing gets all my data from device to phone. Really frustrating. Please have the dev team fix syncing if you want this to succeed.

Original:
I was initially impressed with the chronograph and app and everything worked well. Lately when I
Connect to the chrono it shows none of my history and only a bit of my current session. When I get home some of my history appears in the app but much is missing and sync button doesnt change anything. Deleting and readding the chrono from the app worked once but gets to be annoying. Might have to look at the Garmin if this doesn’t improve.

Response from developer

Hi Taran, sorry syncing let you down. Syncing was our biggest problem, and version 1.1.1, now on the App Store rebuilds it: the app reconnects by itself, pulls in every session the chronograph holds and backs them up to your account. If you still have the Rangecraft, please update and try again. Questions: contact@athlonoptics.com.

Crashing

When trying to select rifle and bullet combo app crashes and doesn’t allow login. Tried uninstalling reinstalling same thing happens. Total POS app very disappointed.

NON Functional

This version 1.0.42 DOES NOT work with APPLE DEVICES!!!!. The original version I had after purchase last year did work, but since there is a newer version I upgraded and it is No Longer available on the Apple Store! Appears this version is broken since I am unable to login using the created account. I have done troubleshooting and even deleted the App from all devices and reinstalled. I also RESET my Password (without Special Characters-just Letters and Numbers), since it keeps saying ‘incorrect Password or Email’. The account does send me a link for a Password reset to my Email. The device will still store all captured sessions until the memory is full, but not transfer them until the app lets me login to use and register the device. Maybe someone with a YouTube Channel should do a video for others to be aware? I will have to search for such posting! Thus far support has no solution!
