### 1/5 — Bug

*2026-08-04*

Hello Element support
I would like to report what appears to be a bug in the iOS version of Element ballistic When viewing the reticle, the zoom/magnification display does not work correctly on my iPhone. My reticle has a total application only displays up to 8 MRAD, even when I try to adjust the view. As a result, the full reticle is not visible.
The same reticle and settings work correctly in the Android version of the app, where the entire reticle can be displaye seems to be specific to the iOS version.
In my case, the reticle view shows "Ranging: 6X" and "Current: 24X", but the display remains limited and does not show the complete reticle.
Could you please investigate this issue and let me know if there is a setting I am missing or if this is a known bug in the iOS version?

### 3/5 — Love the app.....but

*2026-07-24*

I love this app. I really like how customizable it is. Pairs great with the rangefinder. However, it has a few bugs. Lots of issues with profiles. BC profiles and caliber don't want to update. Keep changing back no matter what I choose.

### 3/5 — Not a great update

*2026-06-21, version 1.7.3*

Post update the app is not staying up and stable long enough to run a profile tune. 

Please fix it. I’m putting my dope in running optimise and it never completes

### 3/5 — New app

*2026-06-11*

Hey just wanted to share that the new app in my opinion is not a big improvement. The part that really upset me was that you blew out all of my profiles that I had. I did use the export tool from the old app to backup my profiles however, they are in a proprietary format and the new app does not appear to have the option to import the data. Still a fan of Element!

### 3/5 — Great balistic app

*2026-05-12, version 1.7.2*

Update looks great. But compared to last version it has been very inconsistent. It stalls or crashes regularly. Several attempts to set and tune profiles before it saves. Difficulties encountered linking to my Titan 3k. Please fix so it works as well as it used to. I want my functionality back to tie in with my range finder and scopes (great products too). Please get the app back to 100%. Then it’s a 5 star app.

### 2/5 — Was very good until…

*2026-04-28*

I liked the app.  New to air guns and used this app.  Found it to be very useful, accurate (for me) and had a good database of pellets and slugs.  However, a recent update has wiped all my data for my FX rifles.  It took days for me to tune and find the tunes and zeros on my to air rifles and then this.  Thank goodness the data is written down.

### 1/5 — Sever Issues

*2026-04-27*

Not sure what happened with their update.  The entered zero distance does not coincide with the actual distance (i.e. 45 yds entered shows as 43 yds on the table). Now it won’t load different profiles.  I have profile 1 for my drs tac pellets and 2 for my panthera with slugs.  My helix range finder is stuck on some weird profile that does not coincide with any of the 4 profiles on my app.  Please fix these issues ASAP.   Gonna have to go back to turret stickers until this is solved.

### 3/5 — Useful, but needs pellet database to be updated.

*2025-09-20*

I like the app. The reticles are there, but the pellet database is severely lacking. There is no way to add to the database. The only option is a one time use “custom” projectile.

### 1/5 — Says pairing is successful, but never returns to the Home Screen

*2025-06-28*

Meh

### 3/5 — Good app, but bug and missing feature

*2024-09-22*

Overall I really like the app, and it pairs great with my Element Optics Rangefinder 1500 and elements optics scope. That said: (1) major barometer bug - was present on my iPhone 14 Pro Max and now is still a bug on my iPhone 16 Pro Max: the barometer constantly is “unavailable”, and has NEVER functioned, all permissions granted to app and (2) the app does not have an altitude adjustment. It would also be excellent if more than 4 profiles were supported.
