    Can anyone point me to instructions on how to use the recent in purchase Range Card feature in the Hornady iOS app?

    All my settings are set to use meters but I can't find a way for the Range Card to show in meters. Only seems to display in yards. Any help or additional insight would be appreciated! Thanks.
     
    You have to go out to the main menu and edit the rifle favorites, and set the output distance units, I verified this on android. You may need to re-create the range card I am not sure if it is dynamic.
     
    seansmd, the distance units are all set to Metric and display correctly on all other screens. The range card says yards, but the solution matches the metric distance. In other words, if I enter 550 meters with 5kph wind from 9 o’clock, the main screen solution and the range card solution for elevation and windage are identical. It appears the 550 meter solution is consistent and the software programmer just forgot to make the change so that Meters instead of Yards is displayed on the range card when Metric output is selected. Calculations are performed correctly for the meter distance but the wrong units (yards) are displayed in the iOS version.
     
    Works on Android, sorry. I'll let pics later.

    The app does not like it either when you have some rifle profiles in metric and some in Us Standard
     
    I also have a issu in metric with pressure. I use HPA and it is giving me information in MBAR

    An hPa is the same pressure wise as a mbar, just expressed in different units.

    1 hPA = 1 mbar

    In other words, a pressure of 990 mbar can also be expressed as 990 hPa.

    ETA: if I remember correctly, the app, until a relatively recent update used to require the pressure input to be in mmHg (millimeters of Mercury) such that the current 990 mbar above would have needed to be entered as approximately 742.56 mmHg.

    Thank you.
    What is weird is that When I set the altitude at 0 meters I should have a pressure of 1013 mbar. Instead I get 1351.05 mbar in the max range table
