After every update app is broken

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!!!

(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.

Update broke the app

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.

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.

Doesn’t work.

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

Richtig gute App

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

Update ruined it

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.

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

Suggested feature

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.

Over priced crash prone tape measure

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.

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!

Ehhh

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

Not for me

One time pay and gathers no data = excellent! Trouble is it’s hard to use. A set of calipers would have saved me a lot of time and frustration. Wish I could get me $8 back

Good app but a couple issues

This is a good app for my needs. It’s easy to use, but adding POA and implants can be time consuming.

My recommendations:

Make the app identify impacts automatically, based on manually placed POAs.

Fix the slight shift that occurs when the user establishes the reference, POAs, and impacts.

Add caliber to saved report

Add functionality to allow user to add notes at an image level, POA level, etc.

Great AP

Use this all the time. Great way to keep records, document different ammo, record best ever groups.

Everything you need!

Outstanding app for the data driven shooter. In the past couple updates this app has gone from good to great, due to the addition of their composite group function; this lets you combine groups from different points of aim into one aggregate (AKA composite) group. To my knowledge this ability was previously only available on the On Target TDS computer software. I hope this app never becomes discontinued, I think subscribing for $10 a year is totally worth it to ensure that doesn't happen.

Next Level Group Pics

I have used this app for a number of years now and it has worked very well overall. It has had a few issues that have all been resolved, and customer service has been great! It is also an accurate app when it comes to the measurements. I have tested the results up against my manual calipers and it has been within .01” +/- which to me is acceptable for a camera phone app.

App freezes on splash screen

App will not open. Worked fine on iPhone 12 but will not open on my iPhone 15. Very frustrating.

Great app!

Great app for measuring group size and adjusting optics. Best $10 I’ve spent in a long time!

Excelente

O único ponto a ser melhorado já está previsto nas próximas atualizações que é incluir a arma, munição e luneta no resultado

Surprise annual fee

This is a great app but I was surprised to see an annual fee to unlock the “advanced” features that I thought were included based on seeing them in the preview picture. Paying annually for simple CEP calculations is silly.

Feedback for the developer: be more up front about your pricing model and what you charge annually for.

Update: I’ve paid for it, have been using it, and updated to two stars because it’s useful but not as much as I expected

Response from developer

Hey! Apologies for this. We never intended for it to be a Gimmicky thing so this was a miss out our part and a miscommunication with Development Team. The Base App is a one and done. Only the Advanced Toolkit is additional yearly cost. Please see our FB regarding this and the new feature rollout.

I enjoy this app.

I have used software to measure groups back when it was only available on a desktop computer. I get a kick out of offering feedback and it incorporated into updates. Previous to Ballistic X I was using On Target.
