Using the exclusive Direkon ballistics engine, iSnipe generates military grade 3-DOF solutions to small arms trajectories, including corrections for Pitch, Yaw, Atmospheric Conditions, Coriolis/Eötvös Effect and Spin Drift. Simply put, a ballistics computer is a calculator used to predict a bullets path/energy/wind drift/etc… For shooting enthusiasts this means the ability to pre-determine how, where and at what speeds your bullets will fly, before you even open your gun safe. Created with ease of use in mind, iSnipe is the perfect companion to Military/Law-Enforcement Officers, Competition Shooters and Gun Aficionados alike. With all the features you'd expect from a mobile, ballistics calculator including the ability to save and load ammo/firearm/shooting range profiles, automatic saving of form values, combined with all the features you'd expect from an integrated iOS app, there is no better way to get on target every time.

It’s so user friendly compared to two others I downloaded, but without weather I’ll probably keep looking for another user friendly app that keeps up to date with updates. Very disappointing, I’m trying to get back into long range shooting after a hiatus, and loved this app. Oh well I guess the search continues. ### 4/5 — Need updates *2025-10-22, version 4.1.10* Fantastic ballistic calculator, but we need an update. The PRC calibers (6.5, 7, and 300 PRC), 8.6blk, and more are not supported. ### 3/5 — PLEASE UPDATE *2025-09-03, version 4.1.10* Love the app, but desperately needs some updates. ### 3/5 — It’s ok, but could be better *2025-04-25, version 4.1.10* Just started using iSnipe as the one I used to use has been taken off the App Store for now. This app is missing a trick. My old app had 100s of reticles embedded and a much larger selection of ammunition and bullets. That said, The data it produces is good, but a little more time and effort could produce a much better app. ### 4/5 — Very disappointed! *2025-02-09, version 4.1.10* No updates for years. This needs new bullet library and the weather won’t populate. Was once the best shooting app available and could be again!! Please sort this out! ### 2/5 — Weather *2025-02-02, version 4.1.10* Weather is not downloading ### 1/5 — Junk *2024-12-21, version 4.1.10* Worked for a bit. Won’t connect to weather for updates ### 1/5 — SBC app *2024-12-21, version 4.1.10* 14 bucks for this 😡 ### 1/5 — Severely outdated. *2023-12-17, version 4.1.10* The bullet library hasn’t been updated in YEARS. ### 3/5 — Adequate *2023-12-03, version 4.1.10* This has worked ok for a long time but seven years since an update is discouraging. Also, the picture it provides when you use purchased reticles is not accurate. ## Frequently asked questions about iSnipe ### What does iSnipe do? iSnipe is a ballistics calculator that predicts the path and energy of a bullet.
