My shooter app has stopped updating. I use to be able to go to "atmosphere from station" to update density altitude to get it close. Now when I try to do it nothing happens. The little wheel spins on the top of the screen but it never updates.

What do I have messed up?
 
Shooter relies on a Cellular connection, and for that connection to have a data plan. One test would be to open your browser on your phone, to ensure you can access the web. If you can, than you have the required connectivity. IF you can't reach the web, and you have cell coverage, maybe rebooting the phone will help.

Either way, try rebooting the phone. Sometimes they get flaky and a reboot refreshes everything.
 
Nothing to with the new release this has been going on for a couple weeks.

I have cellular connection. The rest of the phone works fine. Location, web, cell data etc. I have done a hard reset and reinstalled the app. Still not working.
 
I know this sounds simple and not trying to insult your intelligence, but.. When you reinstalled the app, did you go back into settings and "Enable" automatic atmosphere. I believe it defaults to off. Just a thought.
 
Not too high jack the thread but on the Android I have not been able to sync the app for a long time. It says "missing parameters." I email with no responses. Have you guys emailed Sean about it?
 
I noticed my Android shooter would not populate the station presssure fields for over
a month now. I have been going to post about it, but have not got around to it yet.
Regardless, it is not something that happened recently, as it has not worked for weeks
now.
 
One of the common points where these apps get their data changed their format and I wonder if shooter is having the same issue ballistic AE did.
I changed my app to get atmosphere from NOAA instead of NMI and it works now.
Maybe that's the issue with shooter also?

Ideally I would purchase the Kestrel with Bluetooth, then sync it to shooter. That will give you all the data you need on the spot. I got my head bit off by the guys on the Kestrel with Horus ballistics thread. For the 600-800 bucks I can buy a lot more stuff then 10 bucks for shooter and 180 for the kestrel.

Once you true shooter it's dead on, especially with the kestrel populating all the data on shooter for you.
 
I have not been able to enter any new bullet data for a .270. Everytime I get to the entering the bullets G1 or G7 BC it closes the app on my newly updates iPhone.
