Bad
Synced cloud, updated kestrel, lost all gun data on kestrel, phone and nothing in the cloud. Trash
Sucks
App still sucks. It’s a contracted off shore dog water app
What a piece of garbage
Showed as connected but can’t do anything. Can’t sent target cards nor gun profiles.
Firmware update failed even
I have the 5700AL. On FW 1.53. Just updated to the latest app update. Firmware update still fails around at 70%. Same experience as the previous app version.
My Kestrel: 5700AL, FW 1.53, BOOT 1.01, BLE 0.09, HW 14B, BAL 72.

Firmware update still failing.
This update was designed to fix a bug that prevented the firmware from properly updating. It still fails.
waste of money to even upgrade waz
The Kestrel Link app is, unfortunately, a major letdown. For such an expensive and high-quality tool like the Kestrel 5700x , the accompanying app should enhance the user experience, but it does the opposite. The app frequently freezes, stops responding, and gets stuck on the "connecting" screen, rendering it completely unusable. This is incredibly frustrating, especially when you’ve invested a significant amount of money in the device itself.
After researching other users' experiences, it’s clear that I’m not alone in this frustration. Many negative reviews highlight similar issues, with complaints about the app’s instability, poor connectivity, and lack of functionality. It’s baffling that such a premium product is paired with an app that feels like an afterthought.
Kestrel needs to prioritize fixing these issues. A dedicated team should be assigned to overhaul the app, ensuring it’s stable, reliable, and capable of delivering the seamless experience users expect. Right now, the app is essentially useless, which undermines the value of the Kestrel device itself. For the price point, customers deserve better support and functionality.

Not functioning
App crashes when you click the plus sign to make a new gun profile. Tried multiple iPhones and iPads on different iOS versions. I also had 2 other people try it and it does the same thing. Was able to get it to work on an android phone, which I don’t own.
Not working
When my iPhone ( running iOS 18.1 ) connects to my KST1000, all it does is report the firmware to be up-to-date. There is nothing else I can do with the app, all other features are disabled. When selecting the „Settings“ the app stops working.
update von Nöten
ich würde eine WatchApp extrem befürworten. So können die Klickwerte am Handgelenk abgelesen werden.
Absolutely unstable
Absolutely unstable app- it starts only 1 time of 10 try’s
Decent app but…
Make an Apple Watch version!! This could be a Garmin killer!!

Ap ist von gestern … schwierig…
Braucht viel Erfahrung
Great app, bring it to the Apple Watch!
Some of the navigation and controls are difficult in the app. Ultimately what would make this stellar would be to give us access to the app on our watch!
Needs work
Generally pleased with the app. Please add ability to preload multiple stages (my kestrel calls them “sectors”). The kestrel ab added this ability with latest firmware update. It’s a nice feature for NRL/PRS matches allowing you to input all stage target ranges before the match starts. Doing this of the app would be much easier than the kestrel itself.

Won’t maintain connection
I’ve tried multiple times to get this to connect to my phone or iPad. Constantly loses connection. Even in airplane mode with WiFi and Bluetooth enabled. Cant update firmware if it won’t stay connected. What a waste of money.
Sectors
Is it possible to create sectors from this application?
Tedious at best
Nothing but issues with the app used for the 5700 ballistics meter. Activating and loading the kestrel onto the app serial number does not match. Buttons to send gun profiles doesn’t work. Not sure what the point of the app is at this point. Waiting for a response from kestrel tech to figure this out or the whole unit will be returned.
Follow up of my review above. Kestrel reached out with a response. Since my original review I removed and reinstalled the app on my iPad and phone and it has been functioning without any crashes. Most of the issue navigating through the app and kestrel unit has been resolved and was caused by my lack of familiarity with the app. I’d rate it 4.5 stars as the customer service and support has been quite responsive. I suspect as I get to know the kestrel unit and app I will have more questions and feel pretty confident I can reach out to their support page and/or team to receive help. A friend of mine told me the kestrel is a love/hate relationship and once I figure it out I’d love it.

ВАА
При загрузке профиля происходит сбой, после удаления и установки приложения, загружает разные профили 2-3 раза и снова сбой, IOS 15,1. Разработчики исправьте ошибку, не возможно работать с девайсом.
Ballistic app is great
Updated version allows custom gun profiles, remote access and control of kestrel and has video training built in. Easy to use.
