Sucks

Terrible ap, made by a 13 year old. Can’t even create an account

Won’t open

Still won’t open

Awesome Chrono

The Chrono is great, getting it connected takes a little effort but seems to be working well!

Character limits

Please remove the character limits on rifle and bullet profiles, it’s currently very short and cumbersome to come up with abbreviations.

Please also add an option to view the sound barrier on the dope chart.

Not consistent

So I have been to range a few times and this app does not pull all of your shots from the device itself. Athlon does not put any effort into fixing this issue it seems. They need to look at the Caldwell app and take some notes that thing is flawless. For that I would not recommend buying a range craft to anyone.

Great update

Great ballistics solution! While the app did have issues with pairing to devices, these seem to be resolved!

Will not sync sessions

The hardware works fine for the most part, but the app will not sync any sessions to my phone making it useless

May 2026: certified disaster

First the hardware seems solid. The app seemed to track all the shots accurately as i could determine and despite the quirks (annoying but live-able), exporting data out is where it fails. I can only see 4 of 6 sessions on iPhone (was showing all of them earlier). So when I export to excel I don’t have two sessions.
I synced to ipad, saw all six sessions, but once exported, all had same session name, cartridge, projectile grain weight and other variables!

To figure out, I was fortunate as i was also plotting the grouping separately on graph paper and wrote session start time on each load so i could reconcile. I looked at session time and shot count, then and figured it out. All the session names, the notes section were reverted. Even syncing with iPad it was not there. Added hours to post shooting reconciliation. I didn’t appreciate if i had not been taking paper notes, that i may had had to reshoot $250 in ammo if I couldn’t disentangle this mess

Weak

The Athlon ballistic light app is very weak. I could not get my phone to receive the data from the chronograph, even though it was paired on both devices.
Update as of 11May26: it paired with the phone and updated the firmware with no issues. Will try it out soon.

Need Additional menus

Need menus to add different bows, crossbows and air rifles or air gun.
Having a menu just for rifles limit what you can do with this app.
Also, the choice for reticle is ridiculous.
A lot of work is needed obviously and I hope you will spend time to improve it.

Athlon ballistic app

App will not open on iPhone. I downloaded it on my android phone and it worked fine then I got a new iPhone and it will not login nothing happens when you click the login button.

Works as advertised

This is a basic, no-frills app that works well with the Athlon Rangemaster. Once you create your weapon (pistol, rifle, pellet, bow), you can download your chronograph to the particular projectile and you have your ranging as far as you need it to be.

Worthless

I have this version and it is not possible to enter either elevation or DA. It imports Barometric Pressure not station pressure.

Do better!

I am blown away by how painful this is to use. After spending $400 on their chronograph that touts an app and Bluetooth connection I had much higher expectation. The chronograph works great, but this app has me considering returning it and going with the competition.

Weak app

Can’t sign in or create account! Need serious help!

Great looking app, poor performance.

Love my Athlon scope and was really excited to use this app. However every time I try and use the reticle APLR13 the app crashes. I’ve tried all the normal fixes and no luck. Emailed Athlon a while ago and no fix so far…

App won’t let me create an account

Pretty bad if I’m honest. I struggled to even get past the account setup screen! Found the password complexity rules are B.S! Only likes numbers and letters. Don’t use special characters.

Needs improvement

This app should have the ability to view shooting sessions of the chronograph with out having to be connected to the chronograph

Excellent app for use with all Athlon products!x

Excellent app with top notch support! Had to call tech support on a question with the app and they answered on the second ring, solved my problem in less than three minutes of total phone time with complete professionalism!! Wow!!
