Ruined a good ap

The original application was great now federal owns it and they have removed all projectiles that are not owned by them. Don’t buy this app.

Removed bullet options and loads

App is getting worse not better. I can’t find Rimfire loads anymore. They have removed some bullet options that aren’t made by federal or parent companies.

Used to be good

Unfortunately, they ruined a great thing. The bullet library is extremely limited and no longer user friendly. Thankfully, all my data was saved.

Now it is junk!

I have used Ballistic AE for at least a decade now. It has always been a very useful tool.

I have recommended this app to literally thousands of friends, acquaintances, customers and students but never again. Most recently three days ago. I am in the process of notifying those I told this was a great app to let them know it is now junk.

But with the purchase by Federal they have removed most of the versatility and instead replaced it with brand specific features. So now Federal is the ONLY type of bullet in the catalog.

Downhill fast

The latest updates have gutted this app. I have used this app for more than 15 years and it’s sad to see all the data stripped out.

Lost its muster after Federal branding

Had this app for a very long time and used it regularly for all sorts of load data and ballistics proofing. Just went to look up ballistics on a projectile that wasn’t a Speer, Federal, or Remington brand and they’re all gone. I wouldn’t recommend this app anymore unless you only use those 3 brands of bullets, and the average guy that reloads is probably going to use other brands. Sad to see.

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

Federal ruined it

Used to be the best ballistic app now it sucks got rid of most of the projectiles and loads I do not recommend anymore!!!

Bad decision

I’ve had this app for many years. I was extremely disappointed to open it up this season only to find many of the loads and bullets had disappeared from the app. Poor choice from Federal. I’ll be looking for a different app.

Not as good as it was

Removed most of the bullet library

App is now ruined

Before the update you had options to almost any bullet on the market and now federal ruined it by removing it all. I’ve used this app for years now and will no longer be using it.

Used to be great

This is a joke of an app now not worth your time or efforts

Sucks now

Was a good app. NOT ANYMORE!

Wish I could get my money back.

Federal took it over & deleted most of the non federal data. Spend your money & time on something else.

The demise of a great app

When this app first came out, it was great. A wide range of bullets and ammo brands. Now it’s just a federal app and is useless.

Newest version is a joke

This used to be the best ballistic app on the market with 1000s of bullets in the database. Now the database only has the bullets made by Federal or its other brands.

DONT UPDATE!

They nuked the majority of the projectile library in 6.7.7

Library change after Federal Sponsorship

Having used this app since its inception, it was the best in my opinion on the market.
Updated today and only have Federal, Speer and Remington bullets to choose from-very disappointing as I’ve used this app to select bullets for many cartridges over the years.
Gatekeeping information like this is bad practice and will affect my opinion, usage, and recommendations of app and its sponsors.

Just plain sucks now

This was my go to app for a long time. It’s absolutely tragic that it’s garbage after an update.

Not good anymore

No longer supports the large bullet selection it had before. Many options have been removed with the new update. Use Hornady app if you want variety with most brands/projectiles etc.

Was good, now useless

No more support of a majority of bullets on the market. Deleting the app.
