However, It appears free but some functions have automated subscription attached, with no option but to continue or close it down! ### 3/5 — Good app but missing important reticles in MOA *2026-05-26, version 7.9* The app works well but is missing the reticles for the ATHLON HERAS SPR 6-24×56 APLR9 FFP IR MOA & HERAS SPR 6-24x56 APLR7 SFP IR MOA Which are popular for Field Target in the US. The subscription is not worth the cost if your reticle is not available. ### 4/5 — Please add vortex razor gen 3 4-24 *2026-05-17, version 7.9* Awesome app, seems similar to strelok that it’s familiar but it’s missing some newer optics. Would be awesome to see the new vortex scope in there! ### 3/5 — Give me a one time payment option. *2026-03-23* It’s great. It’s everything I want in a ballistic app that cant be acquired from the comrades but for effs sake just make it a one time purchase. $20 and I’d be all in. This nickel and dime over time is dumb. I guess that’s what you get when it’s not comrade owned. ### 2/5 — This shouldn’t be a subscription *2026-01-19* Functionally, this seems like a 1-1 clone of Strelok Pro, which I really liked and kept using until I got a new phone. If it was a one-time purchase, I’d gladly pay $10-15 for it, even now that I’ve found out the hard way that paying for something on the App Store doesn’t mean you’ll always be able to download it. The free version does seem to do the math just fine, so I’ll keep the free version and just deal with not having reticle options, but I’ll never support a subscription model for something that’s not a live service. ### 2/5 — Después de meter todos los datos, ahora me pone que pague *2026-01-12, version 7.7* Después de meter los datos perdiendo mucho tiempo, ahora me dice que tengo que pagar y si no no me deja calcular no sé si en la versión gratuita solo te deja un número de uso al día o cómo está limitada. la aplicación en principio está bien está traducida a español. Parece que tiene datos actualizados y si no fuera por este problema hubiera puesto muy buena nota. Estaría bien que la versión gratuita te dejará por lo menos añadir tres rifles y a partir de tres rifles ya tuvieras que comprar la versión de pago que la versión de pago durará para toda la vida y no hubiera que comprarla año año. ### 2/5 — Too expensive *2025-12-18, version 7.7* 10$ a year is down right ridiculous, this app is mid at best. ### 4/5 — Great app but *2025-12-01, version 7.7* Great but missing a bunch of reticles/scopes from vortex,leupold, night force, Steiner and a couple others that should have been in the app long before a bunch the Chinese/Amazon optics were included ### 4/5 — Main BC app *2025-11-27, version 7.7* Solid app for long range! Made 1st round impacts out to 600yds without using any fancy chronometers. Only problem is they don’t have the Vortex Crossfire HD reticle yet! Please add soon! ### 4/5 — إضافة النواظير *2025-11-26, version 7.7* نرجوا إضافة كل ماهو جديد من النواظير ### 2/5 — Description reflects price gouging *2025-11-24, version 7.7* Description says price should be less than the price available in the app. The more unfortunate part is neither reflect a one time purchase, monthly or yearly subscription is the only option. ### 4/5 — Приціли *2025-11-14, version 7.6* Додайте більше прицілів ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why was there no differentiation of Burris Eliminator 6 X177? *2026-05-10* Why was there no differentiation of Burris Eliminator 6 X177? ### 1/5 — Paid for it on another computer, cannot use it without continuous re-payment via subscription *2026-04-13, version 7.8* Charge for it then extort re-payment via subscription. Considering computing devices are obsolete every 2 years, it's a total rip-off. Vultures profiting off the ban of Strelok Pro. ### 1/5 — Nach Kauf nochmals eingeschränkt *2026-01-24* Negativ ! ### 1/5 — Solo te deja usarla una vez *2026-01-14, version 7.7* Hay que pagar para usarla ### 1/5 — not good, but nice *2026-01-14* It’s a very nice app, however, don’t bother with the free version. It gives you ‘free’ go, then every time the app is opened it very cleverly locks a function (such as choose a reticule or a ballistic calculation) so you get so far through your calculations and then it wants you to subscribe weekly or monthly. Each time you switch on app or reload it, it very cleverly locks a different segment of the calculations I appreciate developers need paying, but just give limited features on the free version if you’re offering one. Go straight for the ‘buy’ version. ### 1/5 — اياد *2025-12-30, version 7.7* ارجو اضافة منظار discoveryopt ht 3-12x40sf ### 1/5 — Subscription required *2025-12-16, version 7.7* After trial, requires a paid subscription. The app is good but there are free apps available that do the same thing. ### 1/5 — THIS IS NOT A FREE APP *2025-10-17, version 7.5* this is a great ballistics calculator, but they lure you in with the app being free. After your 1 day trial, it hits you with a subscription wall. You can then pay it or continue with a “limited version”. so far, I have not yet found a single thing it can do with this “limited version”. Very misleading. SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE A CANCER ### 1/5 — Sebastian *2025-10-11, version 7.5* Poor to complex not easy to yes ### 1/5 — Stuck in tutorial *2025-10-08, version 7.5* I have used this app on my iPad and iPhone and watch and liked it. I just updated to iOS 26.0.1 and now the app is stuck in tutorial mode and I cannot get out of it. I deleted the app and reinstalled but no good. Help or I’m moving to applied ballistics. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best thing since Strelok *2026-08-14* Since Strelok went away a few years I was looking for an alternative. I’ve used Chairgun as a paying customer for a long while now and it is at least as good, if not better than Strelok. ### 5/5 — Needed a great app. *2026-06-23, version 7.9* Chairgun has been an awesome addition to my match shooting. Love the reticle option. Load your data and start shooting. Great job on the app. ### 5/5 — Excellent Ballistic calculator *2026-04-14* It gives absolutely accurate solution, ### 5/5 — Güzel bir uygulama *2026-02-11, version 7.7* Garmin xero uygulamaya bağlayabilirsek çok güzel olur ### 5/5 — Best thing since Strelok *2026-01-24* Since Strelok went away a few years so I was looking for an alternative. I’ve used Chairgun as a paying customer for a long while now and it is at least as good, if not better than Strelok. ### 5/5 — Add a new scope *2025-12-29, version 7.7* Best App ever! Is it possible to add a new scope SCFF-70 Vector Optics Continental X6 6-36×56 FFP illum. VEC-MBR2 ? Thanks a lot. Best regards. ### 5/5 — Parfait *2025-12-22* A quand slg0 drag model ? ### 5/5 — Like old strelock pro *2025-12-11, version 7.7* Like strelock ### 5/5 — Muito bom estou ainda conhecendo *2025-11-17* Perfeito gostei muiton! Só faltou a minha luneta aqui no aplicativo; a luneta MRT2 FFP RED WIN 3x18x50 ### 5/5 — Скачав, дякую! *2025-10-06, version 7.5* Можете надати повну версію?
