Do not purchase!
This was once a good app. Now Federal has purchased it and removed all bullets/loads that are not under their umbrella. Typical corporate shiftification.
Junk
Terrible. All custom material and loads were removed as others have stated. Refund is in order for this useless waste.
Why??
New version is TERRIBLE. What a waste
In the Crapper
Used to be my goto for all shooting solutions. Now you can’t load your own chronographed data or even choose your bullet. Deleted out of my phone.
POS
I want the old version. Typical computer nerd update that is not intuitive. DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK!
Done with Federal
I’ll never buy another Federal product for ruining the most expensive app that I’ve ever purchased. I used this app without a single complaint, for over a decade, and now it’s useless.
Latest version has a massively reduced library.
The lasted version has a massively reduced library. If you update from anything prior to version 7, you only have a very limited library. This app is now just the same as any other manufacturers app. I paid for the full version, it upgraded automatically and now it is not worth owning unless you shoo Federal or Remington, not for hand loaders.

What happened?
This program used to be my go-to ballistics program. Unfortunately, after the update it’s absolutely horrible, I lost all of my powder and load data collected over the last 15 years. I am beyond disappointed and will not be using this service or any Federal ammunition product EVER again.
This version SUCKS
I loved previous version. This one is basically useless
Update Ruined App
This has been my go to for long range and hunting ballistics. Let me start by saying the way they re-implemented wind is maybe the only improvement. However, you can’t even edit the name of your loads and you can barely see the full name so I don’t even know which one I’m looking at half the time … every time you try to edit the name of a load the app crashes.

Now useless
Have relied on the original Ballistic AE over about 15 years since it first came out. I was confused when I dowloaded this “new” version/update to enter recent load data and import target groupings. Most of the functionality and integrations that made the original unique appear to be gone. Can’t access the target logs or import new target groupings for analysis, the load data entry seems to have vanished, the vast database of bullet bc info seems to have vanished. The customizability of the original to build a comprehensive DOPE sheet, where you could get extract all the relevant information, including apex of your trajectory and rising and falling branches, quickly determine various PBRs, etc appears to have disappeared. Now the program looks like a simple ballistic calculator, and not even a very sophisticated one at that.

Garbage
No hud dial no LOS when dialing. Like old version better.
From Stellar to Useless
Awful since Federal updated
Federal has successfully destroyed the best ballistic app
New version’s format is horrible compared to Ballistic AE, and flashy layout doesn’t hold a candle to prior version’s access to data or adjusting to conditions in the field.
Corporatist moves like this have just put Federal on the list of companies I’ll not give a dime to.

Takes time to learn how to operate App.
Garbage now.
Used to be the best app in the game, now federal bogarts the loads like a little bytch. Which sucks cuz no one shoots their garbage anyway.
Updated app is awful
I used to love this app and have used it a lot for a long time. The current version is awful. Much of the data that I used regularly such as various loads by caliber and manufacturer are gone. There are limited options for some calibers such as .375 that used to have a large number of bullet options, and a decent library. The current version has almost no options. I am seriously contemplating dumping the app and using another. There was zero reason to make this app less functional and limit options. I am not normally one to write reviews or complain about changes, but this current version is a step 20 years backward

Older version is better
The updated version of this app has lost a lot of bullet data and ease of use is gone. Bring back the older version.
Ruined
I’ve had this app for 15+ years and wouldn’t even consider another. Until federal made it obvious they took it over. Now the latest changes have made it absolutely worthless. Very disappointed in the change! It took away some of my favorites and renamed 5 of them the same name. It’s like the head of IT for target made this thing! NOT a real world shooter.
Will be trying to get what little info is left off of it and DELETE!

Not recommended
Should have never updated from the legacy app to this. Far from an intuitive design. I will defer to other applications moving forward. What a shame.
