MasterG71,
can be made better
The single target mode could be modified so you can switch targets from the phone without touching the kestrel, also you should be able to activate the wind capture function from the phone.
Also the multiple targets mode should be populated automatically fom the kestrel with all the targets already defined in the kestrel or at least have this an an option and it should be faster to display holds for these targets, so if you activate wind capture you can see the wind holds change in real time !!

ScattergunPete,
Very disappointing... (Update not so disappointing!)
App will not connect from iphone XR or ipad pro to brand new 5700 Ballistic. Tried connecting with bluetooth on in airplane mode as suggested by support in another review to no avail. Sad that such a powerful (and expensive) unit can’t do something as simple as making a bluetooth connection...
Update from 1 to 5 stars: I contacted tech support at the address suggested in the Developer’s response and worked with a very helpful and knowledgeable tech who helped me resolve my connection issue quickly. My problem appeared to be related to my vpn causing problems with my initial connection and registration. I turned my vpn back on after initial setup and connection was complete and have had no issues whatsoever since (almost a year later). This has become my go to app over several others that I have tried. I agree with one of the other users that a lot of the text is small and can be hard to read in bright sunlight but the most needed data (elevation holdover, windage) is fairly readable in most conditions. I set my 5700 up on a vane mount and run with the wind set to constant update mode. Speed, direction and hold data info updates on the app are almost instantaneous.
Thanks for the great tech support and a very good app!

Tedious at best
Nothing but issues with the app used for the 5700 ballistics meter. Activating and loading the kestrel onto the app serial number does not match. Buttons to send gun profiles doesn’t work. Not sure what the point of the app is at this point. Waiting for a response from kestrel tech to figure this out or the whole unit will be returned.
Follow up of my review above. Kestrel reached out with a response. Since my original review I removed and reinstalled the app on my iPad and phone and it has been functioning without any crashes. Most of the issue navigating through the app and kestrel unit has been resolved and was caused by my lack of familiarity with the app. I’d rate it 4.5 stars as the customer service and support has been quite responsive. I suspect as I get to know the kestrel unit and app I will have more questions and feel pretty confident I can reach out to their support page and/or team to receive help. A friend of mine told me the kestrel is a love/hate relationship and once I figure it out I’d love it.

Trash App for an Expensive Tool
Reviews on here are dead on. This app is complete garbage. Crashed multiple times within a few minutes of playing with it and makes little sense when trying to navigate through it. I’ve been familiar with Kestrel for quite a while and they are an amazing tool (when not used in conjunction with this app obviously). The fact that Kestrel would put their name on this application should be a complete embarrassment to the company. I finally bought the 5700 elite with applied ballistics complete with the LiNK feature. I was excited to have it on my iPhone 12 Pro until I actually used it just now. Kestrel, fix this disaster of an app. You could have an amazing tool here, but currently you have a broken system that is in a dire need of repair. Very disappointed.
kesuser,
Needs work
Generally pleased with the app. Please add ability to preload multiple stages (my kestrel calls them “sectors”). The kestrel ab added this ability with latest firmware update. It’s a nice feature for NRL/PRS matches allowing you to input all stage target ranges before the match starts. Doing this of the app would be much easier than the kestrel itself.
rockwellcolind,
Great app, bring it to the Apple Watch!
Some of the navigation and controls are difficult in the app. Ultimately what would make this stellar would be to give us access to the app on our watch!
Blitz-44,
Disappointing
I wish the app would work consistently. My gun profiles disappear and there’s no options or settings other than to connect a device, which doesn’t work either. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times with not much luck. So disappointed after stretching to buy the top of the line Kestrel with Bluetooth only to find out there’s not much benefit.
That guy.,
Want to love it but there are better options
The technology is good and the results useful.
The display is a big problem. The fonts are grey on black and no option to modify. Some data is in what looks like a 3 font on my iPhone, cannot be adjusted.
Running the app on a tablet should make it better, but it doesn’t. Instead you get the tiny 3 font on a big tablet screen. I spoke to Kestrel and it sounded like the person never actually used their app.
Its especially bad in bright sunlight.
Other software options are out there, Kestrel would look at what the competition and do some tweaking.

Ballistic app is great
Updated version allows custom gun profiles, remote access and control of kestrel and has video training built in. Easy to use.
LiberalTearHarvester,
Wish I could understand this thing
The physical 5700 elite AB is great, the app is completely unforgiving and confusing. All I wanted to do was get a larger readout rather than the 4 lines it gives you in the kestrel, of the range card and after 2 hours of trying I gave up. It won’t give me a range card with all my dope. But hell, it’ll give me direction of fire to random targets I never set up to begin with.
