Great idea?
Scope options limited to Swaro only which is fine but could be more helpful with non OEM options. The app doesn’t work fully in portrait mode with iPhone. It’s a little clunky so hopefully gets a tidy up.
App issues
App erased all my rifle and ballistics info. Struggled to add it back. Now app won’t let me change any of the settings. Basically, due to app issues I can’t use most of the bino’s functionality. Swaro needs to do bug fixes and upgrade the app quickly or word will spread that it’s unreliable and sales/reputation may suffer.

Dear Customer, we recently released the new hunting app which should solve your issue. Best regards, the SWAROVSKI OPTIK Team
Rip off!!!!
I have had nothing but problems with this app, crashes every few weeks, I have to re-download it erasing all of my ballistic data every time. Seems like a simple bug fix would fix the problems everyone is having!!! The Binos are great glass but a mediocre rangefinder. Should have got a vortex…much more reliable and thier ballistic program is far superior!! Come on Swarovski!!

Awful
People are spending $4000 on these. You guys need to fix this app! Add all scopes, make it so we can fine tune it. Zeiss and vortex are WAY better and user friendly. It’s ridiculous people spend this much money and you guys don’t provide a good app. FIX IT! I would not recommend this to anyone, which is shameful. You guys are supposed too be the best.

Not impressed
Really need to update this with more scope options (not everyone shoots swaro scopes) and more data to input. For a nz$5800 pair of binos this app should be a lot better. Its like it’s just an after thought. Very disappointing.
Scope Option
Need to be able to add scopes manually as the selection is low. If we could also edit word rifle 1 to add your rifle details that would be better
Won’t let me pick scope
If I can’t pick a scope I can’t pick a ballistic profile. Makes the system useless
Response from developer
Dear customer, the options are currently limited to our SWAROVSKI OPTIK rifle scopes. If you are using another rifle scope, pick a model with the same click value or set the data for the second line to MIL or MRAD. Best regards, the SWAROVSKI OPTIK Team
Needs some work
The app won’t populate a rifle scope and only offers the use of a Swarovski scope. It also would be beneficial to offer the ability to pair with a kestrel and import ballistic data from hornady 4DOF soft ware or applied Ballistics to auto populate custom drag models etc.
Very poor app
The el range TA is fine. It worked okay with original app version. Recently the app offloaded and lost all of my calibrated measurements. Not only did it lose them all but when I try to rebuild them, I can no longer finish building a rifle profile due to no scope entry options. Not talking about how it limits you to only Swarovski scope entries, but I can’t even fudge one in to get it working now as there isn’t even that option. I’m currently without the ability to use the rangefinding & MOA display at all. Should’ve stuck with Leica or Zeiss. Being stuck to three rifles is not ideal. Losing the data was not cool. I gave the suggestion about a year ago to give the option to copy the ranged coordinates so you could paste into OnX or similar but it still wasn’t there last time the app actually worked.

App crashes when using tracking assist
App keeps crashing trying to use tracking assist. It will plot the range and location on the phone but as soon as you try and navigate it crashes.
Need to be able to turn off auto brightness
Per the title. The older version EL Range binos allowed the user to turn off the auto brightness for the bino display - via the bino menus. Meaning the user could adjust the brightness of the display manually and it would stay at that brightness. The new version EL with tracking binos dont have that option anymore in the bino menus. And the app which can adjust the brightness doss not have a manual option. It would be awesome to add a manual brightness option to this app so the user can set and it will stay.
Makes all the difference in the world out in the field when you are trying to get a range and the display is too dim. Ill take burn my retinas out over not being able to see the range all day long.

Should’ve kept my regular EL ranges or bought the NL’s.
They NEVER update their app so it won’t work with my new iPhone . I’m shocked that the top optic company hands down, won’t keep up on this. I have a great range finder that won’t sync with my rifle data . Cheaper to have bought the NL’s and kept my Sig 2400. No question on the quality. Really disappointed with their app.😔

Hi jrigel, thanks for your feedback. Can you please tell us which iPhone you have and which iOS version is running on it? Thanks and best regards!
App Inconsistent
Been loving my new EL Ranges and the built in software has been fantastic!
My only gripe and weak point has been this app. A few things I would like added is the ability to add your own rifle scope (non-Swarovski) and the ability to change your zero measurements from Meters or Yards. These are minuscule changes but would improve the user’s experience.
Ultimately it’s the apps dependability that is the issue.
I have a hunt in 2 days so I went into create a new profile for a new load and I can’t create it because every time I try to add a scope the list is blank; this makes it impossible to create the new profile as a scope selection”is required” so now I am stuck with a pair of $3.5k binoculars with their primary function neutered by an app…
Please fix ASAP as I now have to carry my old kestrel until this is fixed!

Hi Josh, thanks for your feedback and sorry for the late reply. We put your feedback on our todo list. Best regards!
Works well. Needs some Improvement
Mostly intuitive and seems to work. I have checked the ballistics output against 3 other ballistics programs and it seems to correlate fairly well. Would like to see the ability to input my scope vs only having the ability to assign a Swarovski scope. Also. Allow naming of the three available rifle inputs as rifle name with the specific round being fired.

Crashes. Update - fixed
It crashes every time you try to load ammo parameters. Update fixed the problem. App works well now.
Would suggest ability to add multiple gun/ammo profiles (more than 3) and then selecting 3 to send to binos. That would be much appreciated and bump this up to a five star app.

Hi Sclawshark! Thanks for your feedback! We are already working on fixing this problem. Update will be available as soon as possible.
Awesome binoculars, horrible app!!
This app was a huge letdown! It crashes every time you input information. I was supposed use these on a hunt at the end of the month and now I don’t know what I am going to do! Please get this fixed Swarovski! Until then, I can’t recommend buying the binoculars! Such a shame!
