    Are the iPhones them selves up to date with the latest version of IOS? I’ve had problems in the past with other apps when I have kept up with the updates.

    Interesting, I would have thought the temperature would come from the app and phone rather than the unit. Do you know anyone nearby with a sig rangefinder that you could check with?

    Nah, they are sending me a replacement now so will see if its the issue. I was of the same view but after 3 devices its a bit odd.

    Plot thickens, guys at Delta Mike were going to send a replacement, they tested it out and getting the same - reading iPhone is looking like the culprit! In saying that your iPhone suggests there is more to it Liam

    Il test mine for you mate I was hesitant to play with it as it’s set up on the app on my old lost phone and I can’t remember my exact muzzle velocity and am unsure if it’ll wipe the rangefinder when syncing to new phone but iv just played around this morning matching the readings on the range finder to data in a calculator so confident with my velocity now

    I wonder if there is a fault with the nearest weather station? Although that probably unlikely. I’ll download the app onto my mates phone which is also an iPhone 11 and try it out.

    Like I said Google came up with this as a common problem for iPhones. Not the same reading but the 2 I seen were both reading in the negative Temps and were consistent the same reading.

    Have you tried installing the app on an android phone and connecting your rangefinder to it to see if still has the same issue?
