Easy to use - once initial info has been entered. One of the primary shortcomings is the lack of a “landscape” mode. Many LE/MIL users are accessing the app through a phone/tablet attached to their kit (juggernaut case). I would love to see them update the software to rotate the screen when the phone is oriented horizontally. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2026-06-12* With the great interface, GeoBallistics could be better. The main problem I have with this app, it has issues with the iPhone Compass i.e. GeoBallistics doesn't match up consistently with the internal compass. Directions can be way off in comparison. I would like to see a view compass heading option in the app instead just in degrees also. With that said, how about some more "critter" target options, like woodchuck/marmots? ### 3/5 — Velocities and holdovers *2026-05-03* Velocities and holdovers have gotten ridiculously off and I am unable to edit or change them. Has worked fine until this most recent update. I’m not sure what medium they are expecting these bullets to be fired through but it must be similar to water given the velocity drop. There’s not a way to contact customer support that I’ve found. Regretting having paid for this app. It used to be good **Developer response:** We can help with this! Reach out at 1.800.4Vortex, and we'll get you back on-target ASAP! ### 4/5 — Latest Update 👎🏽 *2026-04-29* Not sure what happened to all the velocities, but the app is not working properly. At 100 yard zero and shooting 300 yards, the app shows and elevation of 346 MOA and 145 MOA windage. Please look into this if you haven’t already. Looked at rifle setting velocity and it shows correctly in its setting. But when using the standard chart, velocity is not matching. **Developer response:** We can help with this! Reach out at 1.800.4Vortex, and we'll get you back on-target ASAP! ### 2/5 — Supporting products *2026-04-21* This review is about GeoBallistics and the supporting range finders and the ACE weather meter. I purchased a Razor 4000 range finder with GB a couple years ago and originally liked the GB app, but since the new products have come out the range finder is now outdated. It can either connect to GB on its own or the Ace can connect but not both products. I understand the range finder does not have the Relay network included. I’m not a competition shooter so I’m not going to invest in more range finders when the one I have works fine. When I first got the Ace the products would communicate through the GB app but they must have patched this so I can either use the range finder or the ACE with GB ### 2/5 — Clunky, Inaccurate *2026-03-23, version 7.2.10(376)* To many back and forth screens! Windage is hard to set and windage solutions are incorrect. Elevation solutions compared to other apps are also slightly off. Won’t buy the Razor scope I was interested in as I wanted the app for the hold overs and the windage is way off. ### 3/5 — Expected more from Vortex honestly *2026-02-20, version 7.2.9(373)* A ballistic chart that has inches would be nice for the average person who doesn’t mess around with moa or mrad ### 4/5 — Not quite perfect *2026-02-08, version 7.2.9(373)* To be perfect, please add other manufacturers reticles. I do have many vortex but i also have others before vortex became a choice. ### 4/5 — MPBR *2026-01-11, version 7.2.1(358)* Why do you not include a maximum point blank range as an option for the bullet trajectory? Us hunters would appreciate that! Good app nonetheless. ### 4/5 — A little disappointed. *2025-09-23* Seems to be lacking in a lot of ways. Got spoiled by the app that was lost after the sanctions. Other alternatives are good, but one would think Vortex/Geoballistics would have more adequately filled the void. The point of impact with the Geoballistic app is off relative to other “proven” apps I’ve used at distances 1800yds+. Also, finally releasing reticles was a relief, but then I was quickly disappointed to find out they only have Vortex reticles, and it doesn’t show the target along the horizontal axis of the reticle; most people are dialing vertical dope into their scope and using the horizontal reticle for wind, spin drift, etc. Also, when entering multiple BC’s (at various velocities as the bullet slows down in flight) for a more accurate trajectory, it does not save them. When I close/ re-open the app there is only one BC entered — even though I had recently saved multiple BC’s for that profile. These are my biggest complaints at the moment. Will continue to use it as an adjunct to other apps given Geoballistics is integrated into my rangefinder. ### 4/5 — Needs Apple Watch Support *2025-09-23, version 7.1(346)* A really useful and reliable BC. Recommended. But having just switched from Garmin to Apple Watch, it would be much better if you could drop range and target cards onto your watch, as you can with AB and a Tactix. This would improve the utility of this app in the field a huge amount. ### 4/5 — Good software but.. *2025-04-15, version 6.13(319)* I really really like this program. It is easy to use. It’s best features are how quickly you can plug in shot angle and wireless kestrel wind/temp data. By taking a sample reading wirelessly from your kestrel it will input wind direction, temp, altitude, pressure instantly. I know of no other ballistic handheld device that can do this without you entering it in manually. I did have a problem in the field out of cell service in which it said my software was not the full version and I was unable to plug in kestrel data wirelessly…. When you are hunting this is an absolute deal breaker as every second counts. Otherwise I would give this 5 stars… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Updated app. Lost everything! *2026-05-07* Updated the app twice in 3 days. Obviously there is an issue. All my data is gone from the app. It will not bring it over from the website. And the website has only my older entries. I’m not a competitor but enjoy shooting fairly long range. This app was pretty good before these updates. Back to square one Email asked me to update review. Still same rating. This app, on my phone, has gone from pretty good to horrible!!! Just tested its wind hold. Uh, what wind hold. Looking for another app as of now! **Developer response:** We can help with this! Reach out at 1.800.4Vortex, and we'll get you back on-target ASAP! ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-01-26, version 7.2.9(373)* Wont show an image of the reticles BDC and the drop for lower velocity round. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-01-16, version 7.2.4(366)* They don’t even have my scope on here or ammo. Way better apps out there that you don’t have to pay $15 for. Don’t recommend. ### 1/5 — Crashes and lacks Vortex reticles *2025-12-01, version 7.2.1(358)* My original review was 3 stars but now it’s time to update it. The stock reticles are horrible and it lacks support for my vortex 3-18x50 scope. It’s also crashing any time I try to change rifles. ### 1/5 — Data is okay *2025-10-10, version 7.1.4(350)* The depth of the actual shooting is fine, but this really needs more Strelok like options like scope reticles from more than Vortex. I get they bought it but integration with the rangefinders is one thing but not everyone only has vortex scopes. ### 1/5 — Steve t *2025-08-09, version 6.13(319)* This is the worlds worst app unbelievable how hard and confusing this app is do not waste your time or money it is the lamest thing EVER!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Support is non-existent *2025-07-02, version 6.13(319)* Terrible as far as adding information. No directions and not user friendly. ### 1/5 — Don’t Work *2025-06-13, version 6.13(319)* Have the app installed and when I try to add a rifle, it takes me to the website. The website tells me to download the app which is installed on my phone. The app sent me to the website ### 1/5 — Not intuitive *2025-06-03, version 6.13(319)* I had a rifle profile on the app and couldn’t find any way to edit the external ballistics so I deleted the profile and now I can’t even get the app to load in I’m onto my phone ### 1/5 — Crashes at launch *2024-12-29, version 6.12(311)* Update: 12/29/24 App still crashes on launch, iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18.2. Very disappointed, this app is still highly recommended by friends of mine but after a year I still can’t use it. Original review, 12/2023, Really would like to use this app but it crashes at launch every time. iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 17.1.1 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app in my opinion. *2026-07-06* Used to use 4DOF, this app does everything that 4DOF does but better and more. In my opinion it is the cheapest and best option for anything other than a kestral. Bullet library is amazing, online weather is great. COMP mode is amazing for the Precision Gas Gun matches I shoot. After truing MV the dope has been spot on. I had the app for a week and bought the PRO version and never looked back. Can't recommend enough. ### 5/5 — Love what they’ve done with the app *2026-07-05* This has become my go-to ballistic calculator! It’s very friendly for those who tinker with different rifles, optics, and different loads. I love that I can have several different loads saved for each rifle and easily switch between them. So far I’ve tested the solver out 600yds, and it has gotten me on target. The optic reticle overlay is superb, I just wish there was a function to show all the reference points. Such as it only shows in 1mil increments, when the reticle goes in 0.5mil increments. I also love that you can pull environmentals in from AWOS towers. Learned the importance of compensating for density altitude. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-03-21, version 7.2.10(376)* It works. Plain and simple. The amazing thing is how well it works with the relay network. Also love reading the bad reviews to remind myself why I steer clear of public ranges. The LR community is a special one I tell ya. ### 5/5 — Keeps Getting Better! *2026-01-23* Been using GB for around 2 years. Downloaded it after getting the Razor 4000 GB rangefinder. Prior to GB I was familiar with several other ballistic calculators and found them to be somewhat comparable with each of them having certain things I liked and didn’t like. GB felt a little clunky at first but Vortex has continued to improve and support making it now what I really believe to be the best one out there. With the release of the new Talon 10K and ACE it takes everything to the next level where all devices work seamlessly together. It also shows Vortex commitment to continue to develop and improve it. Be sure to create an account so it syncs your data in the cloud. Didn’t do that and when I switched phones I lost all my custom dope data. ### 5/5 — Really *2025-10-23, version 7.1.4(350)* I like it! User friendly but could be improved ! it even has air gun rifles for fx impact and is accurate great! ### 5/5 — New Features *2025-09-19, version 7.1(346)* I’m loving the new features! Well done. ### 5/5 — Game Changer for PRS *2025-09-09, version 6.13(319)* Very good app. Highly recommend for ballistics solving. Works good with the vortex hardware! ### 5/5 — Worth It *2025-06-28, version 6.13(319)* I’ve used all the other apps and this one takes them all by leaps and bounds. Very accurate ranging using gps mapping and matches EXACTLY with my rifles! ### 5/5 — Dead on *2025-06-08, version 6.13(319)* Paired with the Impact 4000 this solver is extremely accurate. Worth every penny and then some. ### 5/5 — Best ballistics solver on the market *2025-01-02* The attention to detail that went into developing this ballistic app in a way that is user-friendly and incorporates all of the features that any long distance shooter would want is a testament to its utility. All of the physics are accounted for and the latest BC correction functionality is icing on the cake. Well done team Vortex. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
