Review summary

ShotView™ app provides a straightforward and easy-to-use interface for syncing shot data from the Xero C1 device, appreciated for its simplicity and reliability after firmware updates. However, many users report syncing inconsistencies, lack of live shot data display, limited export options, and poor session management features such as no batch operations or cartridge/load profile support. Users desire enhanced functionality including photo attachments, ambient data logging, improved exporting, and better UI for handling multiple sessions. Overall, the app works for basic needs but requires significant feature updates for advanced shooting data management.

Pros

Easy to use and simple interface suitable for quick data viewing.
Reliable connection with the Xero C1 device once firmware is updated and process understood.
Useful summary of shot session data and ability to edit session titles and notes.
Good for basic shot session data synchronization and management.
Helps in firmware updates and reviewing shot strings effectively.

Cons

App lacks live data synchronization during shooting, only syncing after session ends.
Difficulties with syncing sessions consistently; some users report lost or incomplete session transfer.
Export functionality is limited to single session CSVs at a time with formatting issues and no batch export or deletion.
Absence of advanced features such as cartridge/load profiles, session folders, photo attachments, and ambient condition data.
User interface not intuitive for managing multiple sessions; deletion and session organization are cumbersome.

2024-11-05	Ti*****	The app is very basic. Easy to use. It has happened that it does not sync a session from the Xero and there is no way to fix it. I now have multiple sessions on the Garmin Xero that refuses to sync to the phone.

2024-10-19	M *****	The app is great, nice and simple, and connects to the Xero to download the shot session data. Each session is presented nicely on screen with a summary of all the data that is easy to read. It would be great to see some more features too: - Add more external load data to each session (e.g powder load). - It would also be good to place the sessions into some folders. - Be able to save the session data to Dropbox. - Have a built-in shot calculator to use the data - Tips and indicators

2024-10-12	Jo*****	The device is awesome. The app totally lacking... can only export one string at a time. (EDITED: Back to 1 star for continued lack of cartidge profiles, ect) Still needs ability to enter cartridge load profiles, ie. Bullet weight/type, bullet BC, powder type and charge, primer type, ...ect. Still needs weapon profiles. Still needs ability to attach photo of target. Look at competitor's apps. Needs ability to "batch" delete sessions, vs deleting 1 by 1, or deleting ALL.

2024-09-23	To*****	Please add a feature where we can save a photograph to a session for record purposes, ie a photo of a grouping to go with the session. Also time of shots taken, and perhaps duration between shots taken for better analysis. 5 stars if it was in the app

2024-09-17	Th*****	The app worked good until the last update. Now I can't view current sessions on the app even though the device and app both show they are connected. When the app and device sync it doesn't transfer all of my sessions to the app. So now I can't edit shot strings or send a csv to my computer.

2024-08-25	Tr*****	- Can't export locally. The only options are to send the .csv file off device. Why? - The user should be able to move a shot(s) to a different session in the event they forget to start a new session on the capturing device. - The app should be able to pull in ambients (temp elev, barometric pressure) based on GPS location. There is no reason a company like Garmin does not think about common sense features like these.

2024-08-12	Va*****	Works well, don't believe bad reviews. All you have to do is to update to latest firmware and the wait to end session on garmin chronograph to get data synced to the app. It does not show live data as you collect it! Other people just can't figure it out, which is okay

2024-07-04	Ja*****	The chrony works very well. The app worked well for a while, but for whatever reason, all of my recorded sessions disappeared, and I haven't been able to retrieve them

2024-06-16	Al*****	Zero is set for fps but Shotview records in mps without any obvious way to change that. Can't seem to select all sessions to delete; if there is a way is not obvious. Needs a lot of improvement or much better (more intuitive) user interface!
