A back button would be useful. ### 4/5 — Please add reference materials *2026-03-22, version 2026.0115.292* Please add a powder rate burn chart for reference ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2026-01-17, version 2026.0115.292* Get errors most of the time when opening. ### 2/5 — Love Hornady but App needs help *2026-01-01, version 2025.1114.291* Love the amount of data in the app it’s got everything you need but the user interface needs improvement. It’s slow and lags. No easy way to go back to previous screen. There is cool sections like “owned” cartridge list but no way to actually add them to the list. It’s the only app I pay for and for $20/year I keep expecting to see these improvements but it’s been the same for years. ### 1/5 — Where is the book copy *2025-11-25, version 2025.1114.291* The subscription used to come with a hard copy of the book. Its a bit of a letdown thats not part of the deal anymore. Might as well just get the book. ### 1/5 — No updates *2025-11-10, version 2025.1002.290* Is this app even supported anymore? ### 1/5 — Lost all data *2025-10-19, version 2025.1002.290* My app kicked me out and made me sign back in, when I did all my data and purchases were gone and it wants me to pay for all of them again, that ain’t happening ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2025-10-15, version 2025.1002.290* Having to use on iOS since it hasn’t worked on android for a month. ### 3/5 — Password issues *2025-10-12, version 2025.1002.290* I’m having a hard time getting into the app even with a saved password, I have old versions of the hard cover book all the way to version 8, I can’t justify to spend 65 bucks on Hornady’s website, love their bullets and every components for reloading, but it comes down to the apps ( reloading and ballistic calculators ) no to happy, it seem a bit wonky ### 1/5 — Straight up theft. *2025-10-11, version 2025.1002.290* Bought the 11th edition manual for the app. Then Hornandy updated the app. Now I can no longer see the loading data. Try to restore the purchase and the app just freezes up. Hornandy has no way to contact for help. Guess they don’t care about their customers. So much for me buying a Honandy product ever again. DO NOT BUY. ### 2/5 — Great when it works *2025-10-04, version 2025.1002.290* I really hate to give this app a 2 star review but I’m starting to get fed up with it. I paid for the 11th edition book on the app. Which is fine and dandy but majority of the time the app won’t let me in. I’m to the point of just going and buying a hard back even though I’ve already paid for this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buy other brands *2026-07-09, version 2026.0115.292* I won’t buy both your bullets and your app. I’ll switch to another manufacturer instead. ### 1/5 — Money trap *2026-07-06, version 2026.0115.292* Can’t do anything without paying. Use a different site ### 1/5 — Login issues *2026-05-09, version 2026.0115.292* Not sure if my login is from the app or iPad but I always have to enter everything in each and every time I open ### 1/5 — Error *2026-04-30, version 2026.0115.292* Constantly says error and restarts the app waste of money stick with the paper book. ### 1/5 — Error *2026-03-17, version 2026.0115.292* Won’t load. I might like it otherwise. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2026-02-20, version 2026.0115.292* Downloaded the app and it downloads just fine. It goes to open and then crashes. iPhone 17 all up to date etc etc. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-01-18, version 2026.0115.292* I had purchased 11th edition, after the 12th was released I was no longer able to access the data from the 11th and will have to pay for access to the 12th edition, which I will not be doing ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-01-17, version 2026.0115.292* Has many bugs in it. Rarely works correctly ### 1/5 — What they DON’T tell you *2025-12-31, version 2025.1114.291* Honestly, you pay for the app, then you pay for the reload data for all cartridges or just the ones you load. Suddenly the 12th edition comes out and now they will not let you access the 11th at all. This is greedy and selfish behavior to an extreme. It’s not legal liability or they would be liable for their printed volumes. People hang onto their old printed copies for many reasons and I should be able to with the digital versions. You can bet I will not patronize them again and I urge you to get a printed book as the price isn’t all that different and it’s YOURS. ### 1/5 — Password problem *2025-11-30, version 2025.1114.291* Will not send link to reset password even though they claim that they have. Waste of money I recommend sticking to hard copy’s. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-06, version 2026.0115.292* Perfect for references. ### 5/5 — On line manual *2026-06-28, version 2026.0115.292* Its nice to have all the Hornady reloading data on my computer so I can print as much or just a page. ### 5/5 — Reputation *2026-04-15, version 2026.0115.292* Classic, Superb, Reliable, Practical and PRECISE quality control. ### 5/5 — Easy to compare *2026-03-27, version 2026.0115.292* Fast and easy access to everything. Wish the powder lists were as complete as the hard copy. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-06, version 2026.0115.292* Ty ### 5/5 — Love the online reloading guide! *2026-01-17, version 2026.0115.292* I have a few manuals in my library and data rarely changed from one edition to the next. But powders become unavailable, new ones are introduced. Buying the loads one cartridge at a time makes a ton of sense for me as I load maybe a half dozen. Inexpensive and I like knowing I do have the latest data, just in case. Superb value, very easy to use! ### 5/5 — Hornady bullets *2025-12-28, version 2025.1114.291* Lots of powder for all Hornady bullets. I have had success with lowering the SD over factory ammo but I have had to be meticulously in case prep and powder measurements ### 5/5 — Data *2025-10-30, version 2025.1002.290* Keeping me updated with new powder s ### 5/5 — Love the app *2025-10-29, version 2025.1002.290* The handbook on hand everywhere you go love it ### 5/5 — The app is not working! *2025-06-05, version 2024.416.289* The app is not working! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
