### 3/5 — Fine when there is an internet connection

*2026-07-19*

For the first time I was at a range which had no cell or internet service and I couldn’t get the app to work. The app froze when trying to enter the target distance. This happened on both my iPad and iPhone. Very disappointing

**Developer response:** We have this solved in an update about to release…apologies for this as it was never our design to restrict our users! Standby for update.

### 1/5 — After every update app is broken

*2026-06-20*

Every time you release a new version something new is broken and renders the app useless. This time I can‘t safe the result anymore. This is getting annoying!!!

**Developer response:** (Update with correction is live) We understand and it’s far more troubling for us…we were forced to do a full rewrite with a clunky handover from previous Developer and it’s costing us! How long have you been using the App and did you ever write us a positive review during that time or is it only now that you’ve decided to write a review?

Either way, please help us make things right! Shoot us an email and will get your issue sorted.

### 2/5 — Update broke the app

*2026-06-05*

This app was solid and one that was highly recommended for gathering data on the range. Until update 4.0. Since then, it has yet to work properly and presents inconsistent measurements. One example being: ‘Adjust to zero’ and ‘elevation/windage offset’ reflect two different group centers. If those both use inches, it should be the same number. If you have the old version, don’t update. If you are considering downloading, don’t until it’s fixed. There have been a few updates since the rewrite of the app, yet the core feature of providing accurate measurements has not been fixed. I have the old version, but work with 5 others who updated and now can’t use the app to get accurate measurements.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to write! We have both of these issues resolved and about to release it. Check back and revisit this review then please! The rewrite was a necessary move for future features and we have had to resolve a few bugs such as this.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2026-05-06, version 4.0.3*

App crashes every time I get to the last step to review my shots.

### 5/5 — Richtig gute App

*2026-04-24*

Nutze die App häufig und finde sie einfach praktisch. Find es super, dass man jetzt auch die Referenzgröße variieren kann. Weiter so 👍🏻

### 2/5 — Update ruined it

*2026-04-23*

Was a great app for a long time. Really liked being able to put multiple POA / groups on a single picture. 
Would have liked to see a feature where you can select two points for scale then have a pop up ask you how far apart they are, rather than having to always use a set value. 

The 2-stars come from the latest update when ruined the accuracy and my trust. I don’t know what’s wrong but I did a tall target test which should have been 44” high and +/- 0.25” windage. The app gave me 2.63” high and 1.7” right. Nowhere near accurate. Ran it multiple times to ensure no user error. A rollout like this, especially for a paid app, is unacceptable. The core function is ruined and a simple test would have shown them immediately.

**Developer response:** We are addressing these issues. This update was a complete rewrite which is a foundation for some new functions, which you’ll get for no additional cost as you have for years. We’ve got a few bugs that we are working out…Offset is incorrect too. It’s unfortunate that you’re writing a bad review when you’ve used it happily for years and we never got a positive review in that time. Sadly, nearly all of our negative reviews are exactly this scenario and all were solved in just days. All of this will be solved very rapidly. Email us if you have any other issues: ballisticxapp@gmail.com

### 5/5 — Suggested feature

*2026-01-23*

The app is great, I’m writing this review as a simple suggestion to make it better. a great feature would be the ability to convert ZTA from MOA to clicks, based on the conversion value entered in the settings, for example if my scope is 0.25 MOA / click, ZTA should be multiplied by 4 instead of me having to open the calculator.

### 2/5 — Over priced crash prone tape measure

*2025-12-27*

I got this because it was UNFORTUNATELY being used as a standardized measurement tool in a friendly grouping challenge (1MADL 2.0 Challenge). Crashes 90% of the time. All it does is tell you precise grouping after you provide all the measurements yourself. >80% still behind a paywall. 100% would not pay $10 for it if I didn’t need it to compete (to prove results). Do not recommend. Nothing a picture with a tape measure or callipers can’t already do better and easier.

**Developer response:** Just seeing this! Our app is not 80% behind a paywall. That’s for a few Advanced Tools only. You pay once and own it for life; for many, that means they’ve had it for 7 years and have gotten updates and support the entire time. Please email me and we are happy to refund you!

### 5/5 — O melhor !

*2025-12-12*

Essencial para os bons atiradores

### 2/5 — Ehhh

*2025-12-06, version 3.0.3+161*

It’s okay not great buggy… poor instructions. The share features suck and the save feature isn’t great okay for just getting a group size. Nothing else really
