Chrono Connect Mobile Lite for Android
The best way of measuring an air guns power output without a an actual chronoscope!
Chrono Connect Mobile Lite will monitor the speed of pellets leaving your air gun, rifle, pistol and display the speed and power for you in your chosen speed and power units.
Lite version requires you to enter all pellet and distance details manually and will measure the speed of 3 shots at a time. Prove to yourself it works before going Pro!
Pro version includes many advanced features not in this Lite version including.
- Unlimited shots in one go ( no 3 shot 'Lite' limit ).
- Full list of shots in the string.
- Graph of shots in the string.
- Full shot and string management.
- Comprehensive pellet database ( no need to manually enter weights and BC values for most pellets )
- Comprehensive rifle and pistol database.
- Visual over power warnings.
Chrono Connect Mobile works by reading your gun firing a pellet over a known distance so all distances should be entered as accurately as possible to ensure accurate readings.
When set up and used properly, Chrono Connect Mobile can be within a few feet per second of a real chronoscope device.
This app was created because I have heard of people doing the following things to determine the power of their airguns when they don't have a chronograph.
- Shoot into a yellow pages and count how many pages were shot through.
- Shoot at the ground and measure the 'mushroom' of the pellet.
- Shoot a coffee can. Did it go through 1 or 2 sides?
- Shoot a soda can in various places, if it goes through X place its X power.
Chrono Connect Mobile is a far better way than any of these methods of determining the speed and power of your gun.
As there are variables that are beyond our control you should not rely on Chrono Connect Mobile as your sole method of recording speed and power and should test the power of your gun using a real chronoscope if in any doubt.
I bought a cheap Chinese made air rifle and wanted to get an idea of the pellet velocity. This works perfectly! I didn't have a pellet trap, so instead I fired into a phone book, with the phone sitting a meter from the target instead of near the muzzle (to pick up the impact sound better). Worked just fine. Thanks for the great app, I will pass the word.
To enter settings long hold close windows button (NOT HOME OR BACK ) let's you input the needed details to get accurate.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini which doesn't have the button for settings like it's predecessor. This means there is no way to enter the distances etc as the app doesn't have any software buttons to enable you to set the variables. Theory is good though, just not useable on S5s.
Unable to setup option on 3 phones. Was able to get the IOS version to work on my iPad though.
Great app. Since I have a silent pellet trap, I had to put a piece of plywood in front of the trap. The velocity readings were dead on with the chrono printout that was shipped with my new QB78. I love it and have purchased the Pro version. Saved me about $150 as I would have otherwise bought an electronic chrono. Plus my Chrono Connect is always right there on my cellphone.
There is no way to change any setting only button to start monitoring
Monitor screen is all I can access. No menu or settings button to be able to add my measurements etc. Please fix. Uninstalled, very disappointed!
It's okay but I can't get into options menu for some reason. Will try on Galaxy S7 when it's back from screen replacement.
I have a galaxy s6 edge and there is no button for the menu. On my older phone I can access the menu cause the menu button is on the other side of the center button. With the s6 edge there is no general menu button. Please fix or advice on how to get to the settings. Thanks
Installed the app, looked for the option to tap in the required entries for distance, weight of pellet etc and there was nothing there apart from the "start" button?
Great app. Works very well. Wish I could export or important results so I could share between devices. Other than that its a great app.
Was reading about 300 fps low. Most of the time it would not respond to the shot.
Fired 5 shots with settings set as close as i could guesstimate and got accurate results. 450fps and 6.9 ft/lb from a loft found Relum Tornado 22
How do i enter my data? I can't find a settings/options button
Could not get past first screen. Just where do you enter anything?
Each time I try to use this app I keep getting the -er- message I tried changing the sensitivity levels adjusting the distances from target/center line the app would register an fps if I clapped near it so the sound was working just not with my gun .
But if the results I got a few nights ago are representative of this app's abilities, then it's no good...I stood 15 feet from a metal "no parking" sign in an abondoned factory resetdemolishion site after midnite with near total silence and this app calculated fps results up to around 4990 fps and no matter if I reset the app tweaked Mic setting and everything else that was possible, It still show fantastic high velocities from a Crosman 1088 semi auto .177 CO2 pistol that is supposed hit 430fps!

Used it to chrony my all metal Daisy 880 (1979 model) pump air rifle. Worked great. Read the directions if you don't know what you're doing.
This app never work correctly, I did everything and tried everything and same result, my M4 it shot 380FPS and this app showing me 122FPS, I shot one BB it show shot count 30!! These 29 shot come from where?
It works with bb too, just change the weight to your bb's gram
It was a little bit of a mission at first to get all the settings sorted out. But once I have adjusted the sensitivity levels to suit the environment and measured the exact distances to the millimeter, it worked perfectly every time. Will try it out on my handguns soon, because they are Chrony killers.
Please add a menu button, on alot of phones u can't open the menu
Works...sometimes. When it does it is accurate.
Need an update to work properly on new devices.
Worked on 2 shots then all of a sudden errors Gamo big cat 1200 IGT modified Crosman premier Hollow points 935fps. Crosman premier ultra magnums 800fps thats all I got for now

I cannot get into the options on my Samsung s5 please add it to the fps screen! Edit, S5 users to get on the menu press and hold the window switch button, (bottom left)
Read the introduction, seemed reasonably put together. So i hit the install action and set up my shooting range accordingly to mirror the settings in the app and added the weight 3.5g paintball projectile ...tap the listening button, i fire. Records the shot perfectly, i test 6 more shots. only 10 fps fluctuations 270-280. Acceptable being its paintballs on Co2.(note this was all done on a 30$ Wal-Mart.straight talk, im sorry if your phone isn't as nice, lmao)true story
Seems to work well, I'd use it as a portable guide rather than a replacement for my chrono.
LG G3, I couldn't enter any information (distance from muzzle to target or distance to device etc) to actually use this app. It seemed to operate but, only off of some predetermined distance unknown to me. So it's useless. To specify better, I have the main screen only. I can tap the "start monitoring" button and it does moitor sounds. Two taps, it records them and produces an fps estimate, However; I cannot see any other screens or menu buttons in order to enter any information to make this app useful.
Didnt think it would work, but if setup properly(to the inch) it acctually is right on with a real chrony
Run this a long with my crombro mk4 and was within 10fps
Is there any chance this app can be unacurate if it hears an echo or something from fences etc. It's saying my rifle is only 7 ft lb with all the correct settings and measured to the cm. Tested with two different phones. Great app anyway thanks
Galaxy s3 Tried it out with my springer i changed the distance and other settings correctly but i was only able to get 2 readings out or 20 shots the ones that worked were surprisingly accurate and i played around with sound settings and debounce effect idk whats happening. TIP:you have to use the left botton on your phone to bring out the settings took me a while to fugure out and make shure ur messurements are corect
displaying digits incorrectly (60% of a number area) on a 800x480 (Philips w8510) display.
I can only test it with default options
It would be good if I can get it to work keep getting error try everything am using sony xperia phone and my gun is co2
Works well if no wind and all measurements are entered accurately
by Y####:
It worked wonderfully a couple of times, showing actual airgun velocity on two pellet pistols. Then all readings started showing 0 fps. I tried reinstalling, resetting, everything. Makes me think they just want you to have a taste of it so you go and pay for the pro version
