my interest is peaking. I've got a kestrel, the ab analytics and all but curious to see what's coming out.When I updated the current app 2 days ago it come up with a screen saying to back everything up to the web because major changes are coming
@DocUSMCRetired throw us a bone, maybe a timeline to expect?Cannot share anything more than what the app notification says. Something is coming.
I am thinking early Q3, but that is just a guestimate. As we are still in the early testing phase of some new features.@DocUSMCRetired throw us a bone, maybe a timeline to expect?
Current users will not need to pay to transfer over to the new app.My main concern is purchasing the app now, and be left out when the new one comes out. Now what I'm reading seems to point towards an major update rather than a whole new app. That'd be the only confirmation I'd need before pulling the trigger!
Your Kestrel has its own app it connects toDoes this mean my Kestrel will get updated automatically or will I need to it manually and pay a fee?
The Kestrel will not only work with the app, but profiles you create in the new app will now be transferable to the Kestrel directly out the of app.Any hope that the weathermeter/kestrel compatibility is fixed in that update? I just shelled out 40$ for the app, only to find its not supported in iOS. Not exactly a great start...
@DocUSMCRetired cat out the bag now and is it release?The Kestrel will not only work with the app, but profiles you create in the new app will now be transferable to the Kestrel directly out the of app.
We don't really have one. Maybe end of summer, maybe later. That isn't the cool new feature. That is just fixing an old one.@DocUSMCRetired cat out the bag now and is it release?
I am hoping we can announce the new product this week. We shall see. You should have already saved up.@DocUSMCRetired am I going to be jealous as a kestrel elite owner? I need something. Should I be saving up for this?
Well, tomorrows MondayI am hoping we can announce the new product this week. We shall see. You should have already saved up.
Nope. not yet. I am told they are in production now.@DocUSMCRetired today was Monday. What's the word?
Newby to the app myself. While we await the announcement/upgrade, is the most recent version of the online manual the one for version 2.1 from 2018?I am hoping we can announce the new product this week. We shall see. You should have already saved up.
I am told they are in production now.
So there's a hardware component?
fucking Apple.Right now, we are getting the legal paperwork codified for the new reticles, we are getting the legal paperwork codified for the new products being implemented (we have decided to add connectivity to many more devices than originally at launch), and we are getting Apple Approval on many of the new features. Apple requires we send them a detailed description, and video (because most of their techs have zero knowledge of this field), and waiting on approval. The apps will launch together, so we will wait for Apple instead of going forward with the Android release.
At this moment I am adding in the new features and revamping the user manual, as well as working on the instructional video.
We have about 24 people field testing the app, breaking it, and we just released an update this morning (version 305) with those fixes. All I can say is, soon, as we wait the legal processes out.
fucking Apple.

I have used four ballistic solvers over the past 20 years, and I find that Applied is by far the easiest and most user friendly. The ability to true the curve with your actual dope rather than screwing with velocities and BCs alone makes it the easiest and most user friendly APP there is IMO. It isn't the only one that does that, but it's in a small group that do.You mean they're going to make it user friendly? That'll be one hell of a change.
I guess it doesn't matter where all my profiles went on the web as long as it says they're backed up?

In terms of the ones that talk to your wind meter, yea that's great in a match, and I want the most accurate, current, true wind value I can get. Though, I really don't try to shoot a match directly off the data, and have the exact same hold it recommends, but for me it's just another reference point. My first shot is always cheated by what I'm seeing through the scope rather relying on the data. After so many wind calling clinics, weaponized math, etc. I trust my own senses and what I'm seeing over received electronic data.
Yet, if I'm just going to the range to test or play I love just hitting the local conditions button and allowing the APP to input the local weather service data without screwing with a weather meter at all. It's not going to provide a usable wind call, but it will get all of the other environmentals pretty darn close. That is pretty darn user friendly without even needing a wind meter.
I think it's user friendly to the point where some marksmen who are used to manually inputting everything and truing with BC and speed might think it's too simplified. The proof for me has been in the impacts. I sort of thought it was dumbed down till I found out how accurately it was putting rounds on target.
In spring and fall I've had some pretty wild swings, and AB has gotten it right every time even when I was shocked by how much the trajectory changed based on conditions. The last month I've been shooting in humidity so thick the bullets practically left contrails.
In short, I don't use any of the other APPs anymore. This one does everything I need it to do and in a much more user friendly and simplified format...IMHO. I honestly wouldn't want it to be any more user friendly or simplified than it is. I am actually glad I have used so many older ones that were much more manual and required many more inputs. This to the point where I didn't think AB would be as accurate when I first started using it. But I was wrong. It is.
I suspect it will but I’ll ask anyway…
If I upload my profiles from my phone to AB cloud via app will I be able to just pull those back in like I do when I upgrade my iPhone each year?

What steps are you doing? Mine still doesn't work and I'm wondering if I'm just missing something or if it's a problem with my phone (samsung s22).I can say that something fixed my issues with my weather meter taking to AB in Android. So I went ahead and bought the 257 cdms and backed up waiting for this new update.
