    I started with a cheap one ($25) for a couple of years, worked fine, but have upgraded to a Skywatch Xplorer, i went with the Xplorer 4 due to it also measuring air pressure.

    just wondering what your using to get that data?
    I did have a cellphone for a while that had the 3 sensors which actually coresponded with my kestrel
    unfortunately I killed it as my Sammy S5 only has station pressure now.

    I use the applied ballistics and when you go to populate the atmosphere feilds you press the top right hand corner 3 dots and it will ask you if you want to use the pressure from the phone.
    just tick it and it puts it in.
    it's a great piece of software!

    I use shooter and all I got was this.

    Maybe because mine is a s5 mini?
