### 3/5 — Great app

*2025-01-20*

Still have a problem printing labels with the app it shuts down

### 5/5 — The easiest way to track your loads!

*2024-10-18*

This does everything you can ask for. Tracks cost, load data and prints a label for your ammo boxes. Please keep this going.

### 4/5 — Love this app.

*2023-07-13*

Only thing that would be a huge improvement would be a "Copy existing Save" function, or a "Save As" function.

I usually make 3+ different sets-ups to test out. Different primers, powder charges, bullets...
Would make this process much faster.

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2021-02-02*

I like being able to store the data and immediately print labels. I would like to be able to sort the loads by category and/or caliber if that would be possible.

### 5/5 — Great Software

*2019-04-12*

This software is great for keeping track of my reloading details and costs. I have tried the others but this is my favorite. The only thing that would make it better would be a way to export/import data or possibly sync data between iPad and iPhone.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2018-09-02*

Really good app for the reloader that loves to know exactly how much all the components cost per round. Keeps track of all your load data really well. I owned the original Hand-Loader but the developer didn’t keep it updated so when I got a new phone it wouldn’t transfer. Please don’t pull that again.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2018-02-26*

I have used several different apps in the past. This app is very simple to use and allows you to gather all necessary data about your loads. 

I hope you continue to upgrade this app as I look forward to keeping that in the future.

### 5/5 — Very nice!

*2017-02-15*

I always have to try and figure out how much it costs me to make different rounds when I am at the store or talking to buddies. I usually forget prices of components and have to look up every time.  This allows me to have it right on my phone and to see the actual cost of every different caliber I load while keeping it separated. Once you put it in it saves it so you don't forget or have to recalculate. I guess you could just use notes on your phone, but this is much more convenient, easy to use and visually easy to understand. Once you start loading multiple bullets for the same caliber with different components all at different prices this keeps it organized and at the ready for you! 

Haven't used the print function bc I need to get some sticker paper for my printer. The labels do look very nice on the print preview screen though. Has all the information without my sloppy handwriting!
