However every time I try to use them they want to charge me again. I’ve closed out the app and even deleted and reinstalled with the same issue. I ended up getting a refund from apple. ### 4/5 — 9.5/10 *2026-05-14, version 2026.421.1074* I’ve historically used Ballistic AE. However I’ve grown fond of this app. It could be a 10/10 if it worked on my Apple Watch as well. AB can’t be the only one out there capable of getting their app to work on smart watches. ### 4/5 — Very good but a little limiting *2026-04-23, version 2026.0304.1061* Tried out the 4dof and love the idea of an angular zero, but the app is pretty restrictive to Hornady loads. They are open to others, but the library is limited and the regular ballistic calc is meh. Switched to their group analysis feature after ballistic x pushed an update that ruined their app. Hornadys version is great. If devs read these, would you please add a feature to put multiple POA / groups on a single photo without having to re-enter all the other data? If not, a button to let you delete all impacts at once (rather than one by one) so you can change the POA again would be a decent consolation. Again, would love for you to toll out the angular zero for the regular ballistic calc as well. Thanks! ### 3/5 — It sort of does the job *2026-04-21, version 2026.0304.1061* It crashes often and doesn’t seem to want to remember my login but it does do the job most of the time ### 4/5 — No Bluetooth *2026-03-26, version 2026.0304.1061* Ballistics solver works great, only complaint is attempting to pair my kestrel, it says Bluetooth is off when it most assuredly is. ### 4/5 — Hard to find bullets *2026-01-27, version 2026.0113.1059* There are some bullets that are easy to find because they’re named specifically and then other bullets are not, or you have to dig deep to find them. They should all be in order of bullet size and then put them in order of ballistic coefficient. Best to worst. ### 3/5 — karmasik *2026-01-22, version 2026.0113.1059* kullanini sacma sapan karisik uygulamayi satin aldim ekstralar icinde satin almam gerekmis bosuna para harcamayin for and ### 2/5 — Ballistics calculations off *2026-01-04, version 2025.1210.1052* Not entirely sure what happened with the app used to be right on, wanted to use the app when I was at the range because I don’t have a good signal there. Went out to the range and all the calculations were off. I came home, used a calculator on the Internet and found out after inputting my information and everything between the two of them, Hornady app was coming up short every single time for Mia adjustments. I had a printed out 308 ballistic chart and compared the numbers to the Hornady app and again the app had all the wrong information. Not really sure what happened. I’ve used the app in the past and it seemed like it calculated everything pretty darn close but when you are 4 to 5 MOA off then there’s an issue. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2025-12-13, version 2025.1210.1052* This is a frustrating app. Sometimes it doesn’t work. You can only use some Hornady bullets in the program. You can’t use all their bullets even though you bought their bullets. No sst no soft point spritzers and no other company bullets. I liked using Strelok but apple (iPhone) doesn’t let you get Strelok. ### 1/5 — Lost all of my calculations *2025-12-12, version 2025.1210.1052* Have had calculations stored in this app for years. Went to use it today while hunting and ALL of my data was gone. It said I needed to register for an account to save data. It’s good until you actually need it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t even login *2026-08-25, version 2026.0720.1077* Been trying for the past 6months to Login go through account recovery… nothing worst app I’ve used ### 1/5 — Will not work *2026-07-18, version 2026.421.1074* It crashed every time you try to select ammunition. I’ve deleted and reloaded the app 3 times and it never fixes the problem. Don’t waste your time on this app. ### 1/5 — It would be so sick *2026-04-07, version 2026.0304.1061* The app doesn’t even launch right after it’s done downloading. I’ve tried restarting my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times. I’ve tried launching in airplane mode on different WiFi and even switching my data plan (dual simming) it still doesn’t launch. I am using the up 15 base model. I got 26.4 installed as well. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-02-25, version 2026.0113.1059* What a shocking app. Takes an age to load, crashes, doesn’t have metres or MILs. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Won’t login *2026-01-20, version 2026.0113.1059* Loved the app in the past . Bought several load information but now can login even with reset. Total waste of money. Should have just bought hard manual ### 1/5 — O rangę *2026-01-16, version 2026.0113.1059* Przestał działać po aktualizacji. Nie pokazuje „0” w aplikacji zaczyna od 17 MRAD ### 1/5 — No help *2026-01-14, version 2025.1210.1052* Shooting solution is way off. It won’t let me manually enter the correct point of impact so additional yard calculations will also be off. ### 1/5 — Broken on iOS 26 *2026-01-11, version 2025.1210.1052* Crashes nonstop ### 1/5 — Log in *2025-12-30, version 2025.1210.1052* It is a pain. I’ve been trying to sign in/ set up my account for over 30 minutes… with no luck. Henry Lance Hartman ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-12-15, version 2025.1210.1052* Latest version won’t open. Keeps crashing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Usually spot on, sometimes a little off but not by much. *2026-08-03, version 2026.421.1074* With the correct environmental conditions input and load ballistics the adjustments recommended by the 4DOF are usually spot on from 600 yds in. 538 is the farthest I’ve taken a muledeer with it, but that was a -13 degree decline with a 24 mph crosswind (175 grain Fusion Tipped in 7PRC). The shot was a little high but it dropped him in his tracks. The previous year I took one at 505 yd with an old 30-06 using the 4DOF calculations. When I first started using it, I’d compare its output to my own calculations and it was usually pretty darn close. Outside of 350, I trust the app. more than my own math and use it all the time now. A free way to get environmental conditions if you don’t have a Kestrel or similar instrument to pair with the 4DOF app is to download the Burris Connect app, set up a rifle profile and then press “request environmental data” in the “ballistics” tab. Then type that info. into the 4DOF app. Works for me anyways. ### 5/5 — Hornady Rules *2026-06-21, version 2026.421.1074* Amazing this is free! ### 5/5 — The only brand I shoot *2026-06-17, version 2026.421.1074* I have used Hornady bullets and ammo for over 30 years and I know when the trigger is squeezed and my Hornady leave the barrel there will be meat on the ground. I love your 325 grain XTP 490 Ruger ammo, it has taken a few Russian boat and a boatload of deer with my Taurus Raging Bull revolver.You keep doing your thing and I’ll take care of the rest. ### 5/5 — Reloading information *2026-05-22, version 2026.421.1074* Hornady technician was very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. ### 5/5 — Gip *2026-05-01, version 2026.0304.1061* Best Ammunition ### 5/5 — Just getting back to reloading *2026-03-12, version 2026.0304.1061* Stay tuned ### 5/5 — The best *2026-01-14, version 2025.1210.1052* Always on target ### 5/5 — Hornady app *2025-12-29, version 2025.1210.1052* It’s great other than hard find all their ammo on setting up favorite s you have go bc for some reason ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-12-20, version 2025.1210.1052* Great app ### 5/5 — B.A.a.F *2025-12-11, version 2025.1010.1051* Love this ire friendly App if you don’t like it then F.U.B. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
