Kestrel LiNK (Legacy) - パソコン用

I love the D3, wish I could say the same about the app. Dashboard wastes most of the screen with massive black blobs only allowing 3 different sensor readings. A better layout would allow easy viewing of all readings. On my iPhone X, the icons at the bottom of the screen interfere with the iOS swipe up making them very difficult to access. There is only a single setting for imperial or metric views. There should be a setting for each sensor. For example I’d like to view temperature in Fahrenheit, density altitude in feet, and pressure in millibars. Come on Kestrel, you can do better than this!

Kestrel has a lot of nerve charging extra for the LiNK feature and then providing this half-baked app to interface with it. Data export does not work on an iPad Pro. I’ve had to resort to using my Android phone to export data.

The Kestrel app went from clunky, buggy, and marginally useful to utterly useless with the latest iOS update. I have months of data on my iPad that I cannot access because the app will not export data anymore. It just crashes. When I called kestrel they said there would not be an app overhaul until March 2020. Totally unacceptable. The only way you can get data to export from your Bluetooth-only devices right now is apparently to download directly to a computer or android device.

Seems to work ok under iPhone 11 iOS 13, but took a few tries at first. Not sure why. Worked on the second drop unit right away. Never got my iPad Pro with the new iPadOS to export. Had to use my iPhone.

The drop works well, the kestrel app is easy to use, but it crashes with the new iOS update, no export functionality.

Needs updating. Specifically for supporting newer devices such as iPhone XS and iPad Pro. Developers: Unfortunately, if you’re going to offer an app for iOS devices you need to accept the fact you will need to maintain and update it. This is not something you can set up and forget it. The functionality of connecting my device to iOS devices was certainly a factor when making my purchases. Now that it’s become clear the app is lacking even basic maintenance and updates I am becoming frustrated with my purchase.

A number of the controls are directly underneath the new “home button” at the bottom of the screen, so when trying to use them, the app is closed — which means disconnection from the Kestrel device, and having to start what you were trying to do from the beginning. Everything is also sized incorrectly (“squished” from the right side in, as if it were stretched from intended use on a smaller screen). Export functions also do... nothing; Not even an error message. Update, Oct 2019: Still really terrible. No granular control over units, No dashboard editing. Since this is the only way to interact with the “drop” series, it really needs more attention.
