About this app

The chronograph era is over.

This application allows a user to communicate with a Labradar through a bluetooth connection in order to view and manage his shooting data the same way he can from the Labradar device itself. The features this application includes are :

1. Create and delete series
2. Manage the Labradar settings such as units, radar settings, trigger settings, distance settings and shot related settings (such as projectile weight and offset)
3. Receive the shots on the phone or tablet when the Labradar is armed, in real-time.
4. Convert the data to be displayed in the user's preferred scale units of measurement

In addition to those features, it also displays statistics of the series/shots along with graphs displaying various aspect of the data such as the velocity, power factor or the energy of the series/shots.

In order for the application to work properly :
1. Install at least firmware version 1.2.0
2. Do NOT pair the mobile device to the Labradar
3. Enable the location services and accept the permissions upon application startup
4. Make sure the Labradar is not in armed mode while trying to connect to it

Ratings and reviews

I like the idea that you can now set or change all the parameters thru the app. This prevents disturbing the alignment when shooting. would like to have seen the arming bar remain in full view as in the older version app, instead of hidden behind the "last shot" tab at the extreme lower right corner of the app. Just downloaded the app so it might take a few sessions to get use to it.

The App can use some work. It would be awesome if you could select a previous series and continue with new readings.. or the ability to merge series. I've tried several times to have the LR ask me projectile weight.. it works every 1 in 10 times.. If that's how it's going to work, at least have the ability to change it manually and have it compute the correct energy/PF. An amazing feature would be to have it give you the last reading (vel./dist.) it was able to capture!

Initial testing. Just got my Labradar. Heard a million complaints about the app. Had 2.5.4 downloaded. Ran some test today and the app actually seemed fine except freezing while accessing the settings, so they fixed that with 2.5.5! I think my two complaints are you can't "arm" from the series screen. It would also be nice to go back to an old series and continue where you left off instead of having to make a new series. Update: Officially took it out. Kept disconnecting after prolonged use.
