7mm BC???
Please add the 7mm BC to the app.
7mm back country
Doesn’t provide for 7 BC
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Out of date
App doesn’t work outdated info when it did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.

Outdated
This might be helpful , but it hasn’t been updated since 2018. Federal has come out with a lot more/different load combinations since then so it’s no longer relevant
Good app, but has bugs
I spent an hour creating profiles for my various loads and saved all of them in the app. A few days later, all my saved calculations were gone!!!
Decent for the price
Like the simplicity, but there are bugs that don’t calculate energy
Won’t open on newest IOS
Worked great until recently
Needs update
Did work, now won’t open. Awesome & accurate when worked!
Works well but not all math is correct
I use this app just for curiosity sake of drop of different bullets. I noticed today that the energy calculation for 12 gauge slug seems off by quite a bit. The other rounds work so not sure what the issue is. A 1 oz slug does not have 33,000ftlb of energy at the muzzle.
Used this app for years for long range shooting
I’ve never had an issue with this app ballistic calc. Ive used it successfully for my hand load for more than 5 cartridges. Works great out to 1350 yards with my 6.5 creedmoor. Great out to 1,100 with my .308
Great for what it is for
This is fantastic for estimating drop at modest ranges (300 yards or less), especially for iron sight or classic style scope shooters. It will be an on paper estimate that you can perfect from there depending on your individual firearm.
This isn’t a sniper DOPE book, precise data depends on your more than just ammo. Your specific rifle, humidity, barrel length, elevation, and at extreme ranges the position of the moon and rotation of the earth. This is an app on your phone.
It doesn’t Bluetooth to your scope and talk to local weather stations. It has no idea if you are rockin a 16 or 24 inch barrel. It doesn’t know if your specific rifle has a perfect chamber seal or if your scope is 2 degrees off plumb.
This is a rough calculation of the ammunition in an ideal circumstance. It will get you on paper at reasonable ranges, give you a rough idea of how range will effect velocity, estimate wind drift, and is sufficient to start gathering your own data and modest ranges.
Hitting a 500+ yard target in the 10 ring reliably will realistically take you shooting regularly in various weather conditions and noting where you hit. You’ll shoot out a couple barrels before you can hit the 1,000 meter every time.
Remember that in the 1800’s people hit 1,000 yard targets with iron sights on a black powder loaded 45-70 shooting solid lead bullets they cast themselves at a campfire. There is no substitute for range time but this app will give the iron sights shooter, or the guy with a bushnell Sportview that you can’t adjust without a screwdriver a great starting point so they don’t spend all their ammo looking for a 300 yard splash.

Good app
Despite the poor reviews, I had no problem with the app. It never crashed, saved appropriately and gave good information on the loads I asked for. It does allow handloads and non Federal loads such as Hornady and Norma. I recommend for quick information. It is not as in-depth as the Hornady app, but does what it does well enough.

Stopped working
Evidently doesn’t work with IOS 16. Needs an update yo
Crashes before I can really evaluate it
Looks like it might be a good resource for basic ballistic info but app crashes after you select the ammo parameters, especially if you try to change the range. Too bad. Just like the Winchester app, this one is unfinished or published by people who doesn’t care about their business. Typical. Please hire software developers who care what they’re doing so I can give this app five stars.
It’s also a shame that Federal chooses to dis \respect customers by withholding their privacy policy info. If they were required to reveal this information, smart users would delete this app or any other that has an abusive privacy practice. I guess that’s why apple lets app makers get away with not revealing their privacy practices!

April 2022 still broken
Ballistic calculator is still broken, was wanting to use it for the American Eagle rounds I bought. Doesn’t work, reading previous reviews it’s been over a year that people have been having issues
This app is broken
That is all
What Happened !
Use to be a great APP for Federal Ammunition products, the Ballistic Calculator does print from Apple devices, no longer useful.
Switching to Winchester Caculator and products.

Hangs every time
Every time I try to access the ballistic calculator the app just hangs with a spinning wheel. Tried ejecting the app and even deleted and reinstalled it.
Even when it didn’t hang it would not allow me to specify the muzzle velocity when using factory loads, making the calculation all but useless.
Not worth the hassle.
