Which ballistic apps consider chronograph distance in MV calcs?

I've noticed the the Ballistics AE seems to automatically adjust MV taking into account the supposed 10 feet distance to the chronograph from the muzzle.

But if you use the Magnetospeed, as I have been then you get a true "muzzle" velocity, which depending on the bullet and speed, seems to usually very by about 15fps.

Does anyone know of a way to provide this info to the apps like Shooter or Strelok?
 
Ballistics AE DOES consider muzzle velocity, if you look at your ballistics chart, it has the ACTUAL muzzle velocity listed, it calculates it from whatever you input into it.
I always shoot at 15 feet with my chronograph, this is the number I punch into the app.
The muzzle velocity comes up at 'zero', it is ALWAYS higher by about 20fps than what's listed at 15 feet.

Cheers.

'Actual' should always be what you actually enter.
I'd find a way to turn that junk off, or replace it with better software.
