  • Convenient

    Nice to have the magnetic bullet filter.
  • Amazing app

    I love having one spot to look for ammo, but I do dock it a star due to the subscription model. I'd rather pay acouple of bucks one time than .99 a month. I don't always watch for ammo, but I'd stock up if a deal comes along.
  • So many sites missing

    Update to review April 20th
    Bumped up to 2 stars. There is SS198 being listed now but again like the below original review unfortunately not at the lowest price available, which is Midwest Gun Works. Also the best price listed (in the original review below) is still the best price for SS197 by Palmetto and still doesn't show up. So the results are better but the lowest prices still aren't what you see, which is ultimately the whole point of the app.

    Original review:
    I have spent some time evaluating various ammunition price search engines. To see what I found repeatedly: Do a quick comparison for 5.7x28 ammo at the usual ammo price search suspects. You will find more results and more importantly lower prices per round with the other engines. Like right now the best deal is at palmetto state armory at 17.99 a box or .36c a round for FNH SS197 40gr. It isn't even listed on ammodrop and the first listing is at .38 cents a round and only by buying bulk. This isn't a momentarily glitch as the palmetto price has been there for a long time. My guess is the search engine just doesn't cover as many websites as some of the others out there but I am hoping for improvements and will rerate then. I couldn't even find a listing for SS198 like other engines.
  • Clean and Minimalistic

    Functional and well executed. But why is the ability to track prices and notifications a monthly subscription? What value are you adding on a money basis? This could be a premium feature, but at a onetime payment. Not $1 monthly.
  • Great app to find the ammo you want

    Easy to use and find the ammo you want at the right price.

    In just seconds was able to click through and have it shipped. Feels great to know I got the best price out there.

    Highly recommended!
  • Great for searching ammo

    Really good app for searching ammo prices. It's responsive and has some great ways to filter, like searching for lead-free ammo.
    The new notification features are pretty helpful for finding good deals when they become available. Nice job!
  • Quick alerts

    I like the new notifications so I don't miss a new deal.
  • A total money and time saver!

    I used to have to manually search each online ammo website and put the prices in a spreadsheet to figure out what was the best price before placing a large order. I like that Ammo Drop does it for me and is right on my phone.

    Review update: the new tracking feature means I won't miss a price drop just because I didn't check ammo prices regularly. Now, I can just get notified when prices reach my set points.
  • Time and money saver!

    Fast and easy, clean interface and accurate so far.... great app! No complaints!! An option to follow prices on your preferred ammo is the only thing I can think of that would make this any better! Hey favorites page or something would be great!
  • Great app, time and money saver

    I have been running ammoseek, gunbot.net ammospy.net and this is best interface. All common filters available (remanufactured, steel, country etc). It's not clear that their search algorithm includes all sources or just ones that advertise. I found Hornady TAP 75 grain .223 for 25% less on ammospy.net. Also it's easy to filter out categories but hard to filter in categories. As an example if you wanted a particular brand or country of manufacture you would manually have to filter everything else out one at a time. The search feature helps to compensate for the filter limitations. Overall a thumbs up, hope they add features and maximize their ammo sources.
