## What is Bust A Cap Firearm Utility?

Say hello to my little friend!  BustACap is like a little black book you can use to keep track of your firearms and accessories.  

-Have you ever wondered how many rounds you've shot through a particular firearm?
-Do you refer to online user's manuals or demonstration videos when cleaning or performing maintenance? Do you search for this information before performing these tasks?
-Do you use a red dot, scope, or light on a firearm? If so, do you know the last time you changed the battery or when the battery needs to be changed?
-Have you encountered firearm malfunctions when using a particular magazine or ammunition type?  

Over the years I've tried to keep track of information like this in my head, in a notebook, and in a spreadsheet. But what I really wanted was an app on my smartphone or tablet that would keep track of this information for all my firearms and accessories. My goal was to make BustACap practical and easy to use. I ended up developing this app and use it regularly. I hope you find it useful too! 

BustACap makes it easy to track the round count, cleaning, and maintenance history for all of your firearms.  You can add notes, shooting, cleaning, and maintenance entries for your firearms.  BustACap displays a summary page for each firearm that shows the total round count, malfunction count, last cleaning date, and last maintenance date.  You can tap on "View History" to view the notes, shooting, cleaning, and maintenance entries for a firearm.  Firearm entries with notes have a notes icon next to them so they can be quickly identified. You can put web URLs within a notes field. Doing so will create tappable links which can be used to conveniently access information for your firearm. Simply tap on a link in the notes field to look at a firearm's online user manual or watch a cleaning or maintenance demonstration video! Firearm history entries with tappable links have a link icon next to them so they can be found quickly.

BustACap displays a list of all your firearms. It can automatically sort your firearms based on their Rounds Fired, Last Fired Date, Last Cleaned Date, or Last Maintenance Date. If enabled, BustACap will remind you with an alert each day at 8:01 AM when a firearm needs to be cleaned. 

BustACap also keeps track of battery changes for your firearm accessories such as red dots, scopes, lights, and lasers. If enabled, BustACap will remind you with an alert each day at 8:00 AM when a battery needs to be changed for an accessory.

BustACap has an email backup feature that makes it easy to create backups of application data, restore data, or transfer data to a different device.

BustACap has an App Feedback menu for users to provide feedback and suggestions on app improvements.

### 3/5 — Good app, but can use improvements.

*2020-03-12*

This app is good but not great. Things that can be improved 
1) Automatic alphahabetical order or the ability to re- order.
2) Ability to associate an optic with a particular weapon. I have identical optics on several different weapons. This app doesn’t make it easier to keep track of which one is on which weapon.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-02-11*

I use this app to track round counts and cleaning for my firearms.  I like the alerts that remind you when you need to clean your gun.

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use

*2016-11-03*

I'm using the app to track the history and round counts for my firearms and the battery change dates for my accessories.  It's simple and easy to use.  

I like how you can enter notes for shooting sessions.  I've used this to add notes when I encounter firearm malfunctions with specific ammo or magazines or due to operator error.  The firearm history entries show an icon when they have a note or malfunction associated with them.  Nice touch!!
