Just curious if anyone else with an original pocket chronograph is having trouble with the new updated app connecting to it ?

New and “improved “ FX software

I believe the update will only work on the version 2. I don't remember where, but there was a clip on updating that noted it would not work on an original model?

If that is true I wonder what original users are supposed to do ? You always get the latest version from the App Store. Or my device just quit working. It turns on and the light is green but in the app no device is shown to be present. Total bummer if it just decided to quit as it’s such a great tool but I would never in a million years buy another.

Sorry...I thought you were talking about updating the chronograph...didn't "read" it is the ballistic app you're having trouble with.
I do not have any issue connecting with the app with my original and the True Ballistics units.

I have the latest software version and the first generation “gotta take the damn lithium batteries out every time or they get eaten” chronograph.
Was working as good as it ever does yesterday.
At least they keep putting new features into the software.

I get updates without asking/looking for them. It's automatous it seems. Still wors perfectly and is much better with all of the updates to date.
I don't use the AAA batteries and opted for a rechargeable battery instead like this one....
Amazon.com: Miady 2-Pack Portable Charger 5000mAh, 3.45oz Lightweight Power Bank, 5V/2.4A Output & 5V/2A Input Battery Pack Charger, Mini Portable Phone Charger for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and etc : Cell Phones & Accessories
It works very well, but not particularly recommending that battery, it's just what I use.

It worked on Monday and I updated a bunch of apps but I really don’t even know for sure the fx app was one of them. Unfortunately I believe it may have just stopped working. I will have to live with my Caldwell as I won’t give fx a dime for another one.

I have an original and it has zero issues with all the newer updates. I'm on my original batteries also and have used it a dozen times easily and never an issue. Then again I don't use it always. Once I set up a gun it never gets used.

To me that is quite over priced for what it is. I would just deal with the old Caldwell before I went that route. Also, the fx out of the blue started connecting to the app. I do believe it was a crappy software issue. If it works consistently I will never update that app again until I need a new phone.

Have you tried reloading the ap?
If you do reload, please know that you may lose any data you have stored (shot strings, profiles)

Did that numerous times and it still didn’t work. Came back to it several hours later and now it is connecting fine. I will never update that app again until I need a new phone.

I would have liked to have the Garmin this weekend. I tried three different loads for my 30-06 and I ordered new arrows for my recurve. I would like to see how fast my wrist rocket is chucking .36 caliber balls as well, I upgraded my bands.

I really enjoy the newer, little FX chrony v2.
I had no issues with connection.
This is the only chrony, that has never failed to register a shot for me!

I believe what happened was the system reset the “chosen” pellet speed to the lowest setting when it is installed. At least that’s what happened to me!

It took a day or two but the app suddenly started connecting to the chrono and has worked since
