User Reviews

User reviews show the app has strong potential when it connects, with real-time data sync and useful features like custom profiles and remote control. However, repeated issues with Bluetooth pairing, stability (crashes/freeze), firmware update failures, data transfer problems, and difficult UI/ navigation dominate. Some users report improvements and helpful support, but reliability remains the main concern for most.

Pros

When connected, the app syncs cleanly with the Kestrel 5700, delivering real-time wind, direction, and hold data.
Updated app versions add valuable features like custom gun profiles, remote access/control, and built-in video training.
The underlying technology and data are useful and impressive for ballistic calculations.
Tech support can be responsive and helpful, resolving issues for some users.

Cons

Bluetooth connectivity is unreliable on iOS; devices frequently fail to pair or stay connected.
App crashes and freezes are common, making the app unusable at times.
Firmware updates often fail or stall in the update process via the app.
Gun/target data management is flaky: sending profiles or loading gun cards fails, profiles disappear, or serial mismatches occur.
UI/UX and navigation issues are awkward, with small fonts and features that are hard to access in practice.
