Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

There is a glitch but we are working on a fix. For now the KLB menu will not show unless it is connected to the Kestrel.

For those who must have access without a connection, here is a fix that has worked for some:
Write down all profile information on 5700.
delete all profiles off the KLB app.
delete app.
turn phone off
turn phone on
re-install app.
pull all profiles from 5700 back to the KLB.
 
I agree needing to connect to the Kestrel is super annoying. It kills being able to check things when I'm at work or a thought crosses my mind. It's also something I very much enjoyed about the old AB app, you could benchrest ballistics and now you can't.
 
Hello I have just bought the following:

Kestrel 5700 Elite Ballistics
Serial: 2826***
FW: 1.53
Boot: 1.01
BLE: 0.09
BAL: 72
HW: Rev 14F


When I connect it to my app (iPhone) the app advises I need to update to Version 1.55. I turn off the Privacy Pin and do the update - all seems to work, the kestrel restarts and the app says complete.

I then check the Kestrel device and it still shows as version 1.53

I have now done this process a total of 5 times even using my iPad instead of the phone, factory resetting the kestrel and anything else I thought might help.

Can any one please advise how best to update the software so it updates the Kestrel?

Ive logged two support cases and nothing and have also now emailed but im hoping to get better support from our community!!

Thanks
