    I'm suddenly having a problem with my Hornady App on my iPhone. It will no longer pair with my Kestrel 5500. My other shooting solution apps (Shooter, Ballistic AE) see it just fine, as does the Kestrel app. But when I get to the Setup Device page, under Devices it says "No Devices Found. Pull to refresh." So, I pull to refresh, get the spinning "donut of wait", and the same No Devices Found message comes up. Anyone else experience this?
    This occurs in both the 4DOF Calculator as well as the Standard Ballistics Calculator.

    Open the kestrel app first and pair it then open 4DOF.

    I tried that...still no go. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    No issues pairing the 5500 to my iPhone 5S running iOS 11.3 and Hornady 4DOF version 1.25

    I called Hornady and they were unaware of any issues. They're going to inform the developer in case more crop up.

    In the meantime, I uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it. It now pairs with my Kestrel, but ONLY if the Kestrel app is not open.

    I'm baffled...but it's now working.
