ShotView™

Has no use for user, only spyware for Garmin, used gather info so they can market more stuff to you. It’s a shame the chronograph is great, best shooting tool I have bought in 30 plus years, the shot view app is like a after though dreamed up by marketing, glad I didn’t use my email address to sign in.

Really need a way to create sub-sessions for reloading, e.g. when moving through a ladder of powder charges

When I export the sessions all at once it does not show the notes. But if I export the individual sessions it does.

The app is really lacking compared to other chrono apps, like Digital Link for the CED chronos for example. It doesn’t want to import all of my shot lists so it’s hard to know which shot string I’m looking at, and the Xero unit doesn’t display the bullet weight that was recorded. No shot updates in real time as others mentioned, and the app freezes up every time I try to force another sync. Pretty subpar user interface all around for what would otherwise be an excellent chronograph. It’s really too bad Garmin didn’t put more effort into making this user friendly and useful.

Solid start to a companion app for a stellar piece of kit for reloading. If the devs read this, some sort of “copy-paste” or “duplicate” functionality for sessions would be great. My use case: I want to separate out shots from a session, WITHOUT simply deleting them. If I could copy a session, then delete the unwanted shots from the copy, I could analyze the remaining shots separate from the parent session. Other app (not hardware) wish list items: - Automatically pulling temp/pressure/elevation data to add to sessions - location and firearm profiles, ways to add them to sessions - Additional fields of metadata to add to sessions, such as powder selection, and more ways to sort sessions by metadata (for example, all sessions with X bullet weight) - Graphs and charts of data Keep up the good work, you guys are awesome

The app is very basic, I think there is actually more data displayed in the Xero C1 than is in the app. It’s basically just a place to store your shooting for future reference. What the call cloud sync I wouldn’t, for instance I have my Xero C1 paired with my iPad mini. When I end the session the info is then transferred to the mini & I assume at that time it syncs with the cloud. Well when the session has ended on the mini I like to rename the session to the weapon & ammo being used, plus make any notes that I deem necessary. Later I like to review the sessions on my iPad Pro, problem being it only gets the session(s) as the came from the Xero C1 not the edited version. I would call this syncing. The other chronographs that I’ve had costing much less than the Xero C1 transferred the shot data as the shot was made & even announcing the speed. With a little work on the app Garmin could take a great product & make it better. One would expect the app to be the same caliber as the unit itself, but it’s not

Very basic functionality and it seems pretty stable, but I wish Garmin hired someone who understands how to develop apps for the phone because this is just barely usable. I still have to keep written notes for load development because this app is so painful to use.

Would like to see features present in other chrono apps like recording temperature, elevation etc of shooting location

Never made it past the sign in. Just keeps saying “sign in attempt failed”. Tried restarting, reinstalling and a couple of other things. Doesn’t work. Saw someone say it only works on new phones. I’m not buying a new phone….for an app.

The Garmin ShotView app has several negative aspects that have caused me to delete the app from my phone. I only use Garmin Express to keep its firmware updated. Now I use a pencil and 3x5 inch spiral notebook to record Xero C1 Pro contained data for later transfer to my computer. Here's why. 1. I have many shooting devices that offer apps for my phone as follows: 1) T1000 Tuner, 2) Labradar, 3) ATN Obsidian, 4) ATN LRF Ballistics, 5)Vortex FURY HD, 6) Kestrel Ballistics, 7) SIG BDX, 8) Longshot, and 9) PhoneSkope. NONE of these apps requires me to first log into my account. But the Garmin ShotView requires account login before being able to communicate with the Xero C1 Pro. WHY? The only reason I can see is for data logging and user profile building. This is an invasion of privacy. 2. The ShotView app only permits the transfer of Xero C1 Pro data to the app ONE TIME. WHY? Then I log out of the ShotView app and then log back in. That action erases ALL session data from the app and those sessions cannot be reimported from the Xero C1 Pro chronograph. WHY? This is very user unfriendly and I cannot understand why Garmin would do this. 3. The ShotView app permits tagging of a shot for "cold bore" and "clean bore" properties. That is nice. It then allows for the session's statistics to be updated when that shot's data is to be deleted from the statistics, also nice. However, the exported "csv" file contains ALL shot data in its statistics and no option exists for the exported data and statistics to have the deleted shots adjusted. WHY? Maybe it's because for some misguided reason Garmin chose to only allow the transfer of Xero C1 Pro data to the app only ONE TIME. WHY? In summary, the Xero C1 Pro is a great device, being smartly designed and engineered, and performs very well. The ShotView app is exactly the opposite. It was poorly thought out, requires user account login, poorly implemented, and VERY user unfriendly. I now enjoy using the Xero C1 Pro hardware, have deleted the ShotView app from my phone, and use a 3x5 inch spiral notebook and pencil for data recording and transfer to my computer. The ShotView app development team needs recalibration. Please fix the ShotView app! Thanks.
