Seems like a huge improvement. A lot of new features and Bluetooth connectivity seems solid.
So far IOS works well. Had to reboot phone after loading, but bluetooth seems solidSeems like a huge improvement. A lot of new features and Bluetooth connectivity seems solid.
The new app is an improvement. The UI is completely new.
Thank you LabRadar.
Now please add release notes to your firmware releases.
- Series and individual shot details available on one screen (you can see your SD and which shot ruined your SD without switching to a different screen)
- There is a note feature allowing you to type notes for each shot and series
- You can edit the Labradar's settings through the app (trigger level, velocity range, arm time, units, etc. )
- You can export data directly from the app.
Thank you LabRadar.

I'd be happy if it has a stable bluetooth connection in Android. 
Patiently waiting for the Android version. Hopefully it will drop before the end of the year.
Isn't there an update for the Labradar as well?
Yes. You might have to update your firmware. My Labradar is a few years old and the app worked for me without the firmware update. I think I’m running 1.2.4
I’m glad they added the function to name a series and add notes. I used to take a screen shot and name the photo for notes.
Something to note- once you update to the new app you will lose any data saved in the current app. All my data is on my SD card so once I connected to the new app and connected the Labradar it all merged to the new app. You can access and edit data within the app without the Labradar being connected at that point.
Where can I buy one of these Labradar
They seem to be out of stock everywhere!
Would a new one have the update already installed?

I got mine from Anarchy Outdoors. You can call them and get on the wait list.

Thank You Got One
Must have gotten the last one as Bruno's now shows them out of stock.
Good for you, mate. I'm very happy with mine.
That Great to hear was going to go with a Magneto but with my 300 win mag RPR and that muzzle break I figured spend another 200 and not worry about it working with different guns. What accessories did you get for yours???

I bought the MK machining aiming sight and Arcomachine quad stand and I’m happy w those choices.
Also, I bought mine from Labradar and purchased their power bank. It eats batteries like crazy and the power bank is a must IMO. Be careful if you buy a diff bank to make sure output matches what they sell. I have this vague memory of someone buying one w too high an output and damaging their unit but can’t really recall any details.
My suppressor will prob clear the ATF in Mar and I will buy a recoil trigger at that time.
Hope this is helpful.

The power bank for sure and a recoil trigger is a must if running a suppressor.

I shoot over mine suppressed all the time. No problems picking it up without a recoil trigger.
what are your settings and how close are you when shooting with your suppressor? I almost always have to use the recoil trigger when im shooting suppressed.
Mine picks up most suppressed shots without the trigger, maybe 90%. Or get 100% with the trigger.
FYI saw some units at scheels while I was there this weekend
When I went online Nothing but Thanks to the other gentleman I got 1 from Bruno's
I'd have to check on settings. I'll see if the app saves them...
Muzzle is about 6 inches left and 2-3 inches behind the unit when shooting.
What caliber? Just curious as I should get my suppressor out of jail in 2-3 months (god willing LOL) for a 6.5 manbun. My buddy says his suppressed 6.5 won't reliably trigger his Labradar but I certainly intend to try this out myself when I get the suppressor.
Cheers
I called scheels and they shipped me one very fast. I couldn’t have been happier with their service. Very excited to try this app as I love the lab radar but the interface is a bit difficult to use. I also bought the sight from mk machine, that’s supposed to be a very worth while upgrade.
Needs iOS 14.5 or higher. I had 6 Plus I used as a dedicated range app unit but it maxes out at 12.5, so no new software on that.
The man bun, usually. Don't have issues with a 223 or 6mm predator either though. This is all with a nomad, so plenty of volume to suck up the blast.
Thank you kind sir!
Install is pretty trivial. Download the fw, extract the zip, plop the two firmware files onto the root of the SD card, and turn the LabRadar on . . . done!
Did you have to delete everything on the card first?
Thats what I had to do it would not update tried 3 times said fuck it and formatted the card. Updated perfectly after that.
I did delete the few files on there....not sure I had to but it was easy. I did NOT have to reformat the SD card, just clean up old files.
Its a completely new...and IMO improved...GUI and supposedly they fixed BT issues which I have not had with iOS but others have with Android. Dunno if Android is all fixed now or not.
My BT stopped connecting when I switched to an S21. My other phone stopped connecting when it updated to a newer OS version. LR claimed the new Android app will fix it.
I just looked and did not find the new app for android. I thought it was supposed to be released last week.
I tested out the new app today. It works perfectly. Huge improvement!!
I need to do that still. Does it disconnect if your phone goes to sleep still (iOS). I used to have to make my phone never lock to keep it from disconnecting
No - just throw the files on the root of the card with everything else. When it sees those filenames, it loads them. (Mine didn't have much on it, though . . . could always use a different card if need be - the files are deleted after the fw loads, so no need to keep using the card you load from.
New video from F-Class John covering the app.
