It’s weakness is saving projectiles and favorites. First of all, it doesn’t seem very intuitive. Secondly, on the ipad, you cant name the projectile or favorite because the form is cut off at the top. It’s sad because i think the app is accurate, but too difficult to use. Oh, i should mention I use several other apps and a ballistics kestrel with no issues. ### 4/5 — Great software for the serious shooter *2019-02-11, version 6.3.3* Works like a charm. Very effective when working on reloads and looking at performance including long range solutions. Pretty good for the hunter as well. ### 4/5 — Good app but I’m disappointed with support *2019-01-08, version 6.3.3* I use this app on my phone and really like it and depend on it. When I saw there was an iPad app that would sync with my phone I bought it so I could use the larger iPad screen at home and use my phone at the range. The iCloud sync isn’t working for me. Despite several emails and requests for help through the app tech support has been non-responsive. This is an expensive app so I would expect more from support. I’m disappointed in that aspect of the product and would not have bought the iPad version if I’d known the iCloud sync wasn’t working or was spotty at best. ### 2/5 — Great but..... *2018-11-05, version 6.3.3* The iPad version of the app is great BUT there is a bug in it that the developer does not or can not fix... I can only share a ballistic chart to e-mail once, does not allow me to sent another chart before I quit the app and restart it. I have used different iPads, iOS versions and all the same. ### 4/5 — Worth Every Penny *2017-09-09, version 6.2.4* I do a lot of shooting, so I use this app regularly. I do not regret my purchase in the slightest. ### 4/5 — Marvellous *2017-07-22, version 6.2.4* My go to app for calculating ballistic data. We need one that works on the iPad Pro though ! ### 5/5 — Ballistic Review *2017-05-20, version 6.2.4* This is a great program. A must have for any serious shooter. Once you have entered your load data and muzzle velocity, this great program gives you accurate elevation settings for each range. I shoot 223, 308, 303 British and 300WSM. They all work as per their individual Ballistics tables. Highly recommend this program, for any serious shooter ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2017-04-15, version 6.2.3* Great app wish there was some info for 25 cal pellets. ### 5/5 — Please update to include Hornady ELD match 140gr *2017-04-01, version 6.2.3* Do it, or your app is junk for not adding new loads.. ### 5/5 — Super App *2017-03-19, version 6.2.3* Extensive database of bullets and loads. Love the range finder module. Responsive support to add new loads and answer questions. ### 5/5 — Ballistic A E *2017-03-03, version 6.2.3* The app is just as essential to my shooting operation as the powder scale, reloading dies, press and the various handbooks. The information derived in the app is spot on, very accurate indeed. ### 4/5 — Just about perfect *2017-02-25, version 6.2.3* For a ballistics app, you can't really ask for anything more. Well executed, and easy to use. New loads are updated quickly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-06-17, version 6.5.3* Crashes all the time. Becoming unusable ### 1/5 — Same Bug for 2 Years! *2021-01-16, version 6.5.3* I downloaded this app a little over 2 years ago and had problems with the print function. I messaged the developers and they said they would fix it in the next update. Well there have been several updates since then and last that I heard from them is that this bug only effects a certain number of their users and they weren’t going to do anything about it. If you need to print out your tables, you might not be able to do it on this app. ### 1/5 — Can’t use without email and name *2020-11-19, version 6.5.3* Sad, can’t try this without email and name. Deleted. This is 2020 after all. ### 1/5 — You don’t need my email. *2020-11-06, version 6.5.3* I’m sorry I updated this app. Can I get a refund? It’s useless to me now. You can’t have my email. Football University. ### 1/5 — Strong arm personal info tactics *2020-05-12, version 6.5.3* As others have said, i have owned his app for quite a while now. Haven’t used it in a few months and now on launch am met with a required fullname and email address demand. Not asked, demanded with a lockout screen keeping me from using the application i purchased. Cannot recommend more strongly to go elsewhere to get a ballistics app when they are using this sort of strong arm tactics. Non-functional app. ### 1/5 — Extortion *2020-02-23, version 6.5.1* I purchased this product a long time ago and have enjoyed using it. Unfortunately the latest update is now forcing me to give out my personal information before I can use it. I call this extortion. I should not have to give out my personal information for a product I have already paid for. I would not recommend buying this product until they remove this feature. ### 1/5 — Junk *2020-01-28, version 6.5* Gets worse by the day. I have always complained about difficulties with customizing the cartridge name. Now the fools virtually hide the naming field with the save banner. ### 1/5 — I want a refund *2017-06-30, version 6.2.4* I dowloaded it on my iPad and I have to pay full price to get it on my phone. If I had known that I would have download it on my iPhone. I don't take my iPad to the range so it's almost useless to me. This is the first app I have purchased that I can't use on all my devices. I'll delete it and write it off as a lesson learned. ### 1/5 — Why so greedy ? *2016-10-09, version 6.2.2* **update App won't even open anymore*** The app is great. I love everything about it except the fact that even though I paid $20 for the iPad app I still have to pay another $20 for the iPhone app and another $20 for the extra content. It makes sense to have a basic and advanced version with different prices, but if I'm going to pay for another on my phone I'll make sure I can also use the companion on my iPad and vice versa. It's awesome but not worth the money when you consider the other apps have about the same content and its shared between devices for about 1/2-1/3 or less than this app costs ### 1/5 — They screw you with this one! *2016-05-09, version 6.2.1* Be advised… this is one of those apps where they charge you separately for the iPad and the phone versions! For a $20 app I should come with a desktop companion for crying out loud! So now I own the advance version with virtual HUD for an iPad. Like I’m going to mount my iPad on my rails. Save yourself and just get the phone version! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Efficient and precise *2023-10-13, version 6.5.3* Excellent program. Very accurate pending that you enter valid data. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-01-09, version 6.5.3* Easy to adjust for different 0, calibers, and yardage Ding steel at 500 yd 1st shot no problem with capable rifles. Save Gun/load/caliber/optic to favorites no problem. Having a chronograph is essential ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2020-03-08, version 6.5.1* 1st I’ve found where you just grab a pic of any reticle and go. Does have issues with save and title for rangefinder being blocked, but really great otherwise. Others give you a handful of high end scope reticle only. So no use to anyone who doesn’t have the scope/reticle. Just get it! ### 5/5 — First time out *2020-02-10, version 6.5* Loaded this up and took it out. I really like the way this app works. Take your time, read manual and you will find a lot of good data come from this. ### 5/5 — Range shooter *2019-01-21, version 6.3.3* Great tool for long range shooting. I doubt I would have a target at 1000 yards without it. If there is a draw back it’s that it’s complex and some portions of it are not intuitive. Once you figure out how to set it up you’ll put your bullet where you want with few adjustments. ### 5/5 — Very Good *2018-05-16, version 6.3.2* This app is a great tool for getting on paper at long range. Just put the data in make the adjustments then fine tune. It works fine a shorter distances too. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-04-16, version 6.3.1* Works very well ### 5/5 — The Best *2017-12-21, version 6.3.1* I’ve tried them all, and this is buy far the best. l ask for a special round, To be added. They track down information and it will be in the next release. Great job ### 5/5 — A great help *2017-09-26, version 6.2.4* Love this app. Got it for my iPad and it's always within one click of where I want to be. Can't do much better unless I'm shooting better reloads. With factory ammo, you can't do better. ### 5/5 — Lots of choices *2017-05-25, version 6.2.4* Ballistic does a good job of keeping the load & bullet data current. Your bullet or load is in there --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
