Finally I managed to brake my infrared shoot-through-hole style chronograph, glue it back together, still working but nah...got this FX chronograph instead...I admit I like toys way too much.

Today I was re-tuning my MK2 PP with it, kind of weird to me interface, on my previous - cheap Korean unit (amazon) I got used to seeing a shot string of 6 in example and the deviation with max/min right beside.

Looking at this FX droid app, I cannot say that I am impressed. A screen customization option would definitely be a great improvement.

I am coming from Garmin platform (activity trackers and cycling gps apps), you shall see there a variety of app developers, madness, when you start browsing and trying things you get headache or just makes you start drinking ;) .
 
Finding these things strange a bit

- On the first screen/tab with a Huge number (projectile speed) in the middle and somewhere below so small Text for Avg-Hi-Low, Spread, Shot count. When I am tuning the gun I need more info about a Spread or the Avg then a Speed actually, I would make that info bigger.

In the upper right corner is a red square saying "Disconnect"? Can you make it green or blue when connected and red when the BT or the unit is disconnected?

- On the second screen/tab, Profiles, I have no comment on that one.

- On the third screen/tab (in the middle) finding it usefull to have that button "New String", but kind of weird I start a new string but need to go back to the first tab, guess what? I need to Connect back to chrony? Either don't disconnect or move that "New String" button to first tab.

Also, would be nice to get a user customization, let say during tuning a String of 4 or 5 or 6 we can pre-define?

- On forth screen/tab, Settings. I have no comment on that one. Or maybe somebody to elaborate that "Calibrate-Advanced"? Calibrate to what? To another chrony?

- Finally the very last fifth screen/tab (on most right), I believe this would still be under development? I don't comment on why the Manual or a Quick Start Guide is there at all if nothing working. But a quick link to a Developer may be very useful, of course only in case if anybody is monitoring those emails or pms or messages directed to a single developer person. If other then an FX in-house built app.

Otherwise the app is...OK, it is an app. At least something we can toy with :)

I would still put an open customization into Settings, that we can change the Text size, collor, move buttons to another tab, minor thing but instead of modifying the app to individual opinions, open it up and let people play as much they like? I
