Awesome app

You can get this or get a $750 kestrel . LOL Seriously it works great and ia easy to use

Trash

App required registration and don’t run without it

Makes life easier

This app provides excellent starting points.
Very simple to use

Requires full name and email to use

Sorry, not going to provide my name and email when not part of necessary functionality of an app. Don’t trust most developers with personally identifying information. I’d prefer an anonymized Apple email / ID option.

Was a very good app

Was a very good app. I had both the standard and paid. Did not use for a while. Went to the field and opened app. It wanted internet connection and email address stuff. BS. No thanks. I am in the field people no internet. Both versions have been deleted now.

Was great, now wants unnecessary private info

Used this app for years and it was great for measuring groups and storing load data. Something most other apps don’t have.

Then after an update it won’t let me access anything without first/last name and email address. There is NO reason for the app to need this info and it’s impossible to retrieve my stated target and load data without it. This app went from great to garbage in one update. Extremely disappointed.

I hope they come to their senses and remove the requirement, until then I would avoid it.

Privacy insult

Had the app for years, and AFTERWARDS changes their policy and THEN requires name and email addy or he won’t let you use it. Absolutely no reason other than to sell the info. Go your app elsewhere, not from this person!

Works well, while you keep up w/ the latest phone / ios

I have been using this app for about 3 years. It has been extremely handy & helpful. I learned a lot about ballistics in general and its effect on my loads w/ different calibers.

Unfortunately, because I don't buy the latest iphones and I choose to stay behind the high cost curve, I seem to be a victim of app failure. After a notification of an update, I followed suit and updated. The program now crashes upon attempt to open. There was no warning about incompatibility. I sent a message to the developers, requesting a link to the older version. They insist that they are "not allowed" to offer that, and that Apple "requires" them to only support the latest version of software.

I personally doubt this is 100% accurate, since I have other apps that prevent me from updating, due to incompatibility. Nevertheless, this app was great while it lasted (for me). If they'd address this update issue, it would be worth the 5 stars. I am niw forced to look for another app.

Works fine

Took a 6.5 CM to an 850 us range nearby and tried my luck at 500-600/700-800-850. Rang the bell on every first shot using this software “come ups”. Made a lot of math easy.

Super helpful

Lots of caliber's lots of grains etc
Really fun app and he visuals are excellent

Terrific App. Updating all the time.

Great app for the range

If you shoot, and like the science of ballistics, and use it to improve your understanding and performance, this is the app for you.

Nice, useful program

Once you under stand the user interface, there is a lot useful pictures that can be saved by using the Favorites command.

You can start with basic trajectories and go all the way to very technical thousand yard shots.

Absolutely spot on

I've used this program in shooting high power NRA matches.

Once I get my velocities it's a snap to get my dope out to 1000 yards, which is as far as I shoot. I zero at either 100 or 200 yards, load all my data, and create a spreadsheet with the drops, windage, and clicks for the scope I'm using. I've never been off paper using numerous loads and numerous distances.

Can't say all the programs I've tried have worked as well.

Bugs and lack of updates, support requests

App is still buggy despite raising these issues with the developer. I am still having issues with 1. Exporting data via email. 2. Downloading current atmosphere. I'm not the only one.

Requests for popular loads such as the Hornady Precision Hunter line and new Hornady ELD and ELD-X have yet to been added. "Obscure" requests like Australian Outback loads have been ignored. When all aspects work correctly it's a great solver, wish it was updated more frequently.

Great App!

Does everything you need quickly and easily and allows you to store your trajectory charts. Good list of bullets (or enter your own detail ) and lots of flexibility. Good for everyone from pro long range shooter to a guy sighting in a deer rifle.

Good but could be better

There is far more information than would be necessary for the average guy using this app for hunting (which I do).
I recommend some type of advanced tab when/if someone (a mercenary sniper) wants the full option display.

I have a hard time finding many of my ammunition listed and they are not one off companies.
I have a hard time finding the actual hornaday ammo I buy in the app.
I would love to see a more robust list of ammos.

Support stinks

The calculations are spot on if you input your own weather data. The automated weather finder used to work until last fall and now won't work at all. I emailed the support staff over a month ago and they are aware of it but it doesn't look like they are going to fix it. Six months is plenty of time to fix a small bug in the system. And since incorrect weather data will throw the entire calculation off, it's pretty much useless u less you have some other source for weather data.

Now that you have to pay for the app, I wouldn't buy it.

Custom Projectile

The custom projectile function is incredible. As we create our new line of .308 JB's, this app hasn't failed us once. The ability to quickly compare our rounds to those currently on the market is extremely useful.
Thanks,

Excellent tool

This is an excellent tool for someone selecting a caliber for specific hunting / shooting scenarios. Excellent for comparisons.
