## What is Ballistics Buddy?

Ballistics Buddy calculates the ballistic trajectory and outputs the Elevation and Windage adjustments. The trajectory is influenced by gravity, the aerodynamic drag (G1 & G7), the wind, your specific rifle setup, air density (temperature, pressure/altitude, and humidity), Gyroscopic spindrift, and the Coriolis force. The aim of this application is to be quick and easy to use, while still being able to capture all of the significant factors which influence the trajectory.

### 5/5 — Finally available on iPhone!

Glad this app is finally available on the Apple App Store! I have been using the Android version for 3 years now. I entered my rifle setup details and was easily hitting the gong at 1000 yds!

### 5/5 — Great app

### 5/5 — Flawless and easy to use

*2020-08-13*

This app is perfect for people interested in long range shooting. The user interface is real smooth with English and SI units. The app takes care of most of the technicalities so you don't have to do the math. Compared to the other apps, this app is a notch above as it takes care of most of the real world physics which is simply not available in any other apps. Being a fluid dynamicist I can vouch for a lot of the interesting and complex features this app has to offer.

### 5/5 — Great!
