That's not the same, it's the actual whole program updated. Not Kestrel

Is this version 1.285 or newer?

No, it's the Ballistics App. Not made by Kestrel, sold by AB. Not the weather meter. Version 3.1.9 on the app

The Applied Ballistics mobile app (for phones/tablets) was overhauled. It is now called AB Quantum.
I updated automatically as well. Took me about a day to get the basics figured out, and still learning the ins and outs, but I do like that most of the information is on a single tab. Rifle profile, shooting solution, settings and devices each have their own location and are a little easier to navigate in my opinion. The app can connect directly to a lot of rangefinders, if you have one with Bluetooth. They are supposed to have kestrel support by the end of the month! I hope so. I too would have been PO'd if I had to learn it on a hunt. Good luck!
Agree new program was a pain to learn but does seem to have some nice features. I was fortunate that the upgrade did not come during a hunt so I was able to take the time to watch the video. The on line manual is also helpful if you want to quickly get back up and running just scan to the section on that topic. At least my data came back this time .... not like the event a few years back.

Not sure about Android, but you can configure an iPhone to only update apps when connected to Wifi - that way you won't get an update when out in the field.

I have an Android and years ago tried turning of the updates. It worked for awhile but eventually caused some issues and I turned them back on. Sorry it has been a long time and I don't remember why but Doc got me back up and running
