This could be a Garmin killer!! -- J dilla da filla, 2023-11-17 ### ****- "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! -- rockwellcolind, 2022-12-24 ### ****- "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. -- kesuser, 2022-05-10 ### *---- "Won’t maintain connection" I’ve tried multiple times to get this to connect to my phone or iPad. Constantly loses connection. Even in airplane mode with WiFi and Bluetooth enabled. Cant update firmware if it won’t stay connected. What a waste of money. -- lacking food, 2022-03-29 ### ****- "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. -- jetdog 12, 2021-12-17 ### ***** "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. -- lR 1, 2021-09-08 ### *---- "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. -- Jcfranks, 2021-07-17 ### ***** "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! -- ScattergunPete, 2021-01-16 ### ***-- "Ok when it works" The app crashes 60% of the time.. I just use the kestrel as a standalone unit, just leave your phone out of the equation and everything will be good.. -- kgall005, 2020-09-26 ### *---- "Won’t connect to iOS" The company needs to get their act together and figure out some programming. Can’t even attempt to connect to the iPhone even after troubleshooting everything they suggest. Quite pathetic when paying $400 on a piece of technology. -- Chasewill94, 2020-05-14 [View all Kestrel LiNK Ballistics reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Kestrel LiNK Ballistics Discovered Keywords -
