Kestrel Link Ballistics App vs Applied Ballistics Profile Loader

[USMC22]

Any advantage to the Applied Ballistics Profile Loader over the Kestrel Ballistics App? I’ve been doing firmware updates through the Kestrel App as well as transferring profiles. I also keep a hard copy as a back up. Playing around with the AB Profile Loader and checking the user manual I wasn’t sure if I was missing something. I saw that the Kestrel 5 series is not compatible with the dongle for use... I ordered a usb cable.

The mobile apps fail to perform the firmware updates for many users, the Windows app and USB/optical cable always works. IMO Bluetooth is inherently unreliable as no one seems to follow the design standards.

Another advantage of the Windows app is it is much easier to keep archived/revisions of your profiles. Browse right into the Profile folder and copy the .pro files wherever you want (or move them if updating a friend's device etc.)

I do not know if there is a AB Loader for Mac, there is a Link version for it that can use the USB cable or Bluetooth. It can do the firmware updates and export data, but I have no idea if it will let you access the gun profiles.

Some past discussion on it and also how to make the Windows version run on a Mac:

AB Profile loader on a Mac

I do not have access to a PC, could someone please walk me through a free way to run the profile loader and AB software to update my kestrel on a mac? I know it can be done and I have tried a couple ways, but am missing something.

For the 400th time, just get the profile loader.

Have a link to the Mac version that is being requested?

That’s the whole point of the discussion. They’re requesting assistance with a Mac link
