This app is designed and developed to assist zeroing prior to biathlon exercising and competitions. Furthermore, it is a tool to document hits and misses at biathlon trainings and races. Following accurate plotting of a 5 shot series, the app automatically calculates and suggests zeroing actions. It is also easy to swap between plotting prone and standing shooting by using the zoom functionality. In short, it assists for plotting and zeroing.

ClimbLogger turns every climb into data you'll actually use — from the gym to the crag, on your iPhone, Apple Watch or Garmin. Log routes as you climb, track elevation and heart rate, explore a map of gyms and crags, train your fingers, and share it all to Strava. LOG EVERY CLIMB - Start a session and log routes as you go — grade, style, ascent style, route name and time. - Automatic elevation tracking turns your climbs into real vertical metres. - Edit anything afterwards — grades, names, styles, start time, notes — and your stats update live. - Scan route names straight off the gym board with your camera. - Six grading systems: French, Norwegian, YDS, UIAA, Font and V-Scale. FIND PLACES TO CLIMB - A map of indoor gyms and outdoor crags with sectors, routes and GPS. - Topographic, satellite, greyscale and OpenStreetMap layers, plus high-resolution 1 m 3D terrain. - Live search, filters (gym / crag / favourites) and directions to the rock. - Street-view crag photos, topoguides and full route lists. - Add your own crags and gyms, mark favourites, and suggest fixes to the community. APPLE WATCH - Track a climbing session straight from your wrist. - Records grades, routes, elevation, time and heart rate through a real workout session. - Log and edit routes on the watch, with optional automatic climb detection. - Mirrors your session live to iPhone and keeps running in the background. GARMIN WATCH - A dedicated Connect IQ app for Fenix, Epix, tactix and more. - Log routes from your watch and pick your grade scale right on the wrist — Norwegian, French, YDS, UIAA, Font or V-Scale. - Captures heart rate and elevation for every route. - Sessions sync automatically to your iPhone — and on to Strava. Set it up once from the app. FINGER-STRENGTH TRAINING (beta) - Connect a Bluetooth weight scale and train your fingers with live load feedback. - Built-in protocols — max strength, repeaters and endurance — plus a custom workout builder. - Calibrate per hand, grip and edge depth; every rep is measured against your max. - Big pull/rest timers with voice and haptic cues, and every workout saved to your diary. SHARE TO STRAVA - One tap turns a session into a Strava activity — grades, ascent styles, elevation, heart rate and a route-by-route breakdown. - A generated session infographic is attached automatically, ready to share. YOUR DIARY & STATS - Every session in one place: routes, elevation, time, photos, heart-rate graphs and notes. - Lifetime totals and grade distribution across all your climbing.
