pro chrono bluetooth digital app / Amazon Fire tablet

[DeanB]

Bought a Amazon Fire tablet thinking i could down load the pro chrono bluetooth app to it to keep my chrony records for my air rifles.
What I didnt know it seems these are set up to only use Amazons app store and when I try to download app it doesnt recognize the Fire tablet as being a device to download to, my Android phone comes up but not tablet.
Has anyone on here managed to get this app to download on the Fire tablet, if not then I just wasted 65 bucks for this thing. Appreciate any help.

Well... Have you looked at these tutorials on that ?

Then I'm never surprised how cheap these folks are like apple that want total proprietary control and hold you hostage ..

How about try using your phone? That may work.

P.s...

Contact pro Chrono support and ask if the google app will cross over or maybe request support in the next update

I had it on my phone but for some reason it quit working and when I reinstalled it it did the same thing again. Worked fine for about 6 months or so. Also wanted tablet for bigger screen.

Went back and reloaded it on my phone again and it seems to be working right this time, so guess the Fire tablet will be retired to pile of other unused junk.

You're not alone with a pile of electronics I can't use. The same thing with the tablet happened to me. Ug

Amazon Fire tablet has access to a limited selection of apps, so if you can't find a specific app in the Amazon Appstore, you may need to sideload it manually.

I have the permission allowed to use a 3rd party app or whatever its called, but when I go to download the app the tablet will not come up as a recognized device..I can usually figure this crap out but Ive run out of patience messing with it, will get a small laptop later and use it. Ive read even if you do get the app to download that Amazon has so many obstructions to prevent it that it can cause device to freeze or quit working completely.
