Hi all,
LoadNode 2.1.12 is out on Google Play and the App Store. Most of it came from emails and threads like this one, including the report that found the weather problem below, so thank you. I am the developer, as always.
WEATHER PRESSURE AT YOUR RANGE
This one matters if you shoot well above sea level. "Auto-fill from weather" used to fill the pressure weather services publish, and that figure is corrected to sea level.
Density altitude needs the pressure where you actually are, so at a range a few thousand feet up the density altitude came out thousands of feet low. It now fills the air pressure at your range, worked out from the ground height there, and puts that height in Altitude.
If you have already typed your range's altitude, the pressure is worked out at yours instead. A line under the button says which pressure it filled and at what height. Weather now comes from MET Norway, with WeatherAPI.com as the backup.
Sessions you filled from the weather before this update keep the pressure they were saved with. If you shoot at altitude, check those against your meter, or open the session and fill it again. A pressure typed from a Kestrel or similar is still used exactly as you typed it.
PRICES LINKED TO YOUR COMPONENTS
WHEN EACH COUNT WAS SET
If something reads wrong or gets in the way at the bench, tell me here and I will look at it.

PRICES LINKED TO YOUR COMPONENTS
- Add a price under any name you like and pick the component it is for from "Used in your loads".
- The load is then costed by that link, not by the spelling, so a box labelled your own way no longer shows up as a second component that needs a price.
- Bullets, powders, primers and brass you added yourself can now be deleted from the pickers. Before anything goes, it tells you how many prices and stock entries are still linked to it.
- On a ladder, the shots your chronograph timed, or the total you typed under "Rounds fired", are the rung's count. Holes marked on a target only count on a rung nothing else counts, so one photo of the whole target no longer overcounts a ladder.
- Inventory says how many marked holes it set aside and why.
WHEN EACH COUNT WAS SET
- Every stock entry now says when its count was set.
- A session only comes off a count when it is dated after it, so if a session dated before your count was shot after it, the entry says so and suggests giving the session the day you shot it.
- Android: "Encrypt & save to device" opens the system Save screen, for tablets whose share list has nothing that saves to local storage.
- Vihtavuori N110, N560 and N570 added, described from the maker's own pages.
- The first time you open 2.1.12 it asks you to accept the Terms once more, because the summary now names MET Norway.
- A newer app platform under the hood, plus bug fixes.
