PRC Etc

Like a lot of other reviewers say, this is super rudimentary and newer bullets and cartridges such as the 7mm PRC are not available in the factory loads, so what’s the point?

Out of date

App doesn’t work outdated info when it did

Useless

Federal has purchased the BallisticApp from Jon Zdiarski so they’re no longer supporting this app. It should be removed from the App Store. Six years since an update? Won’t open. Hasn’t worked since iOS 16 and we’re now on 18.2? Just admit you gave up on this one and now you’re ruining Ballistic too.
