New AB phone app on the way?

I just downloaded the app today to play with it. I never used the old app, but it unlocked the premium features once I paired my Tactix 7 with AB. I had to manually move profiles from the Garman/AB and Sig BDX, but once I did, I could push profiles to both devices within one app. An added bonus of the new app is the additional settings within the profiles that were not available in Garman/AB and Sig BDX. All data lines up between the apps.
 
I’m totally not cool with subscriptions.
I don’t ever want to BT with anything.
I don’t ever want to use any cloud features.
I just want solutions with custom curves on my iPhone.

If I update my paid ab mobile app with paid curves am I going to have to deal with subscriptions and Bluetooth and cloud stuff?
Should I just not update?
 
Is there a way to look at a drop chart like the old app. That shows drops in like 10 yard increments? All I can do is get it every 100 yards and it just goes to 1000 yards.

Go to the center drop down and hit range card. You can then “expand table”.

Found a typo... The monthly is 2.99/YEAR lol

Also.. Will the Vortex Furys be compatible?
If you already have an AB Elite compatible device or paid AB mobile app, you should be grandfathered in and it's "free" (technically you already paid for it) for Elite, for a lifetime.

If you have an AB Elite compatible device, just pair it up with the app once and the subscription level should change to "Elite" in the settings. Also "lifetime" as long as that AB Elite device is paired up in the app.

I have never used the Applied Ballistics app with another device. Just used it my my Iphone. Does this new version require that you pair your Iphone with another device?
 
So I have a Kestrel 5700 that I upgraded to AB Elite status. I noticed in the device option that Quantum will not recognize the 5700 until January. Does that mean that I will have access to Elite features, instead of just lite, in January when the 5700 is recognized?

Try turning on the Kestrel and go into Quantum and scan for devices. Quantum won't be able to find the Kestrel let alone connect to it but for me, it changed my subscription level automatically to Elite.

Does the Kestrel have to stay connected to keep the Elite status?

I already purchased the annual subscription but I’d like to not have to pay for it again
 
Listening to the video tutorial now and have reviewed the settings instructions. Is there any way to change the screen display between a light and dark mode?

ETA - I know I can toggle in my iPhone, but it would be much easier to do so in the app .

If you connect any Applied Ballistics Elite device the Elite status stays for 30 days without ever having to reconnect. Past 30 days and you have to reconnect to refresh the 30 day time limit again.

I tried scanning but it didn't seem to find my Kestrel.
Yeah it won't find it but check the settings and see if the status changed. I'm also signed into Cloud Sync, so that might be a factor as well. Mine changed from Ultralite to Elite and I didn't do anything other than sign onto Cloud Sync and tried and find the Kestrel. I think I let the app search for devices for like 5 minutes without anything happening before I realized Kestrel connectivity wasn't implemented yet but I noticed the subscription level changed anyways.

Is there anyway to group the loads by gun like we used to? The amount of scrolling is awful. Also the app tends to freeze when I am scrolling through the profiles. Edit to add that this is on an iPhone 15pro with Elite subscription.

I’m hoping there is because right now I gotta scroll through a lot stuff now after upgrading
 
What am I doing wrong with this? The drops are all over the place and in no way correct.
I’ve gone back through and checked everything that was transferred over and it won’t give me a correct or even consistent solutions.

Yep, downloaded the app yesterday. Played around after I updated my Kestrel which it couldn’t connect to, but my app sub tier is “Elite” anyway.
 
The first pic shows the solution it gives and the second is the inputs. It’s telling I need to come down from a 50 yard zero. I mean it should be nearly zero at 220. All of my profiles are like this. They were all brought over when I updated and I’ve gone through and checked everything.
What’s your sight heigh and twist
 
IMG_1153.pngIMG_1152.pngAnother example, only need to come up .18 at 800 from a 100 yard zero. I’m going to try and deleting the app and reinstalling it again. I’m also going to try it on my work phone to see if I can get it to cooperate.
 
I tried your inputs for the 55gr and I got different results. Shown in both MOA and MRAD. Aerodynamic jump, spin drift and coriolis - ON

Android here. Looks like I have the elite. No profiles but I haven't really used it as much as I should. Only Vortex reticle so far is h59. Will play with it more later.

Pretty much all the scopes I looked at were only the Horus reticles.

I still haven't met anyone that actually uses those. But I guess it's better than nothing.

Found a bug right off the bat. Windage values aren't always getting updated automatically when I change the distance. When this happens, I need to touch the wind clock to get it to update them.
