Kestrel Ballistics Announcement
New Firmware 1.27 & Kestrel Ballistics App Update!
In addition to the latest firmware 1.27 release, we have also made improvements to the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app that will prompt users to perform an update.
How does it work?
LiNK Ballistics app users will get notification that an update is required to continue using the LiNK app
NOTE: Because of the added encryption and improved security features, the update connection may take a little longer than usual.
Who does this affect?
- Customers with Kestrel 5700 & 5700 Elite with LiNK units
- Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app users (iOs and Android)
What’s coming with the new update? [Benefits]
The new Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app will have the firmware update contained in it, so users will not need an internet connection to update firmware for 1.27. In addition to the improvements to the overall stability of the app, there are several other improvements to expect:
- No more lost or erased Gun Profiles -- Gun Profile data will remain saved with every firmware update
- Saved Kestrel values -- App will no longer overwrite Kestrel values upon first connection
- Better security -- Privacy PIN issues have been fixed
*If customers do not want to update firmware at this time, please go to Google Playstore or Apple Store and unclick Automatic Updates for the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics program. Then, users can continue to use the current version of the unit firmware and LiNK Ballistics app without any changes.
