LoadNode is a precision reloading companion: bench to target. Track every load you develop, enter chronograph velocities with live SD/ES, measure your groups from a photo, and compare your charges with honest uncertainty. FREE • Log rifles, recipes, and load jobs • Charge weight, seating depth and tuner position tests, with live SD and extreme spread • Offline bullet / powder / primer / brass component search • Measure a group from a target photo (size and MOA) • Session conditions with density altitude, entered from your meter or computed • Password-encrypted backup and restore PRO: one-time, yours forever (no subscription) • Unlimited firearms and multi-barrel profiles • Garmin Xero chronograph sync • Velocity and group-vs-charge charts, plus charge comparison with honest uncertainty • Composite analysis: pool groups into 20 to 50-shot statistics • Full target-cam: firing order, on-photo data box, share cards • Neck-tension and shoulder-bump tracking • AI group analysis, with chronograph velocity correlation and observation-based suggestions (technique and environment only, never load advice) • Cost and ROI tracking: per-round cost and return vs factory ammo • Cloud sync and cloud photo backup across your devices • Personal records, medals and a season recap • Recipe versions, reports and the Load Book PDF • Throat-erosion tracking, saved groups, advanced metrics (mean radius, point of impact, scope clicks) and annotated image export An account is optional. Logging, the calculations, group measurement and component search all work offline. Weather autofill, sign-in, purchases, AI analysis and cloud sync need a connection. Handloading is an adult activity. LoadNode is a logbook, not load data: it never tells you what powder or charge to use. Always use current published data and work up safely. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | LoadNode Pro | $29.99 | one-time | | 110 AI analyses | $14.99 | one-time | | 50 AI analyses | $7.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.1.23 — 2026-10-02 Shot entry on iPhone, fixed Since 1.1.0, entering velocities on an iPhone could fill the whole screen: the shots you had already logged and the live Shots, Average, SD and ES were squeezed out of view, and tapping "Rounds fired" opened a number keyboard with no way to close it. Now the shot log and its statistics stay on screen while you type. A chevron on the velocity box folds the keypad away so you can read the whole log, and tapping the box brings it back. "Rounds fired" is typed on the shot pad's own keypad, so no keyboard can get stuck over the screen. On smaller iPhones the keys are slightly smaller, leaving more room for your shots. Thank you to the shooter who reported it with a screenshot. ### 1.1.20 — 2026-09-30 One recipe, several firearms A recipe can now be used on several firearms of the same cartridge. It keeps the firearm it was developed on, and each firearm keeps its own results: pooled statistics, load comparisons, the Load Book, session reports and load cards all show the figures that firearm actually fired. The app checks the cartridge before it adds a firearm, and asks rather than assumes when it does not know it. Deleting the home firearm moves the recipe to another one instead of deleting it. Free. Parts and setup list per firearm Record the parts and setup of each firearm, with suggestions that fit the kind of firearm it is: AR-pattern, bolt action, other semi-auto rifle, lever action, semi-auto pistol, revolver or shotgun, and custom parts are always allowed. Every new session keeps a copy of the setup as it was, and tells you when the firearm has changed since. It is printed in the session report and the firearm history, and included in the CSV export. Pro. Build a ladder at the bench Turn off "Open shot entry after adding" and you can add several charges, depths or settings in a row before you shoot, without opening the shot log each time. A new, empty rung offers "Keep for later" and "Remove". It works on every ladder type, and the app never proposes a value. Garmin Xero on Android The connection gets more time to establish, and when another app is holding the chronograph, LoadNode now says so instead of "Operation was cancelled". Photos, backup and restore Target photos now survive an iOS update that moves the app's data folder. A restore interrupted by a crash, a force-quit or a flat battery is finished at the next launch without losing photos, and that includes restoring older backups. Photos from a backup made on another platform sync normally, and a photo replaced on one device is never deleted by another. "Download all for offline use" now sits in Settings under Account, right below the line that says how many photos are waiting, and goes away once they are all on this device. Clearer everywhere Counts read 1,200 in every region. The app says "firearm" wherever it means any firearm. Every ladder names its rungs the same way on every screen, report and PDF. The cost card names each gap: a missing price, a missing charge or mixed currencies. The AI analysis names each charge exactly as you logged it. The Pro list shows exactly what Pro includes. Fixes Fixed "User interaction is not allowed" on iPhones with a locked Keychain, and a keyboard hang at launch on iOS. A date, name or number the app cannot read, from a hand-edited backup or another app version, no longer crashes a screen. A share sheet that gets stuck now frees itself. The recap says "1 round", not "1 rounds". Plus many smaller fixes. ### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-25 Create a recipe from the Recipes list The Firearms tab has a second face listing every load you own across every rifle, but the centre button there still offered only "Add Firearm", so the one place that shows all your loads was the one place you could not make one. The only route was to switch back, open the owning rifle and use its centre button, which is what the empty state told you to do. The centre button on the Recipes face now offers New Recipe. A recipe belongs to one rifle, so with a single rifle it opens the form directly, and with several it asks which one first rather than guessing. The empty state offers the same action, so a first load is reachable without knowing the detour existed. Also in 1.1, if you are updating from an older version Edit a session after you create it, including its name, goal, notes and a jam measured after the fact. The jam, the jump and the loaded CBTO are one fact written three ways, so correcting one moves the others. Log the rounds your chronograph missed, so component stock, barrel life and cost are right without touching any velocity statistic. Compare whole loads side by side, with confidence intervals and no declared winner (Pro). Step primer seating depth as a ladder (Pro). Charts in the report for every ladder type, not only charge ladders. Copy a recipe, free. Notes on rifles, loads and equipment. Statuses that put a load away everywhere at once. Every load in one list. Costs that stay in the currency you entered and say so when they are partial. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-24 Edit a session after you create it A session's name, goal and notes were written once and then frozen, and a jam you measured afterwards had nowhere to go. All of it is editable now. A jam entered late still feeds the throat erosion chart, dated as measured when you took the reading rather than when you typed it in. The jam, the jump and the loaded CBTO are one fact Type either the jump or the loaded CBTO and the other fills in. Correct the jam and the app moves the side you did not type. Delete the jam and the derived side goes with it, instead of leaving a number nobody entered. The rounds your chronograph missed Fired ten and it caught seven? The brass is fired, the barrel has ten more rounds on it and three bullets are gone. The shot log now takes the number of rounds you actually fired at that rung, and it reaches component stock, barrel life, cost, your season totals and every report. It reaches no velocity statistic, because a round with no velocity has none to average. Compare loads side by side Comparing rungs within a session and sessions against each other is not the same as deciding between whole loads. Each load now becomes one sample built from every group ever measured on it, with the confidence interval on each and a test of whether they are actually separable. It marks no winner, and it says plainly that two loads differ by everything you changed and by every afternoon they were shot on. Pro. Primer seating depth ladders Step primer seating in thou below flush and chart SD and group size against depth, the same way a charge ladder works. Flush is zero and is a real setting you can log. Pro. Every ladder gets its charts in the report A seating, tuner, neck-tension or primer-seating session exported a PDF with no charts at all, because the report could only plot against charge. Those four now chart against whatever the session actually stepped, and the headings and captions name it instead of calling everything a charge. Copy a recipe A plain copy, free, with no version link and none of the results it did not earn. Duplicating the same load twice no longer produces two recipes with the same name. Notes where you asked for them Rifles, loads and equipment all take notes, and each box tells you where its note will appear: on the load card, in the session report, in the Load Book and in the dossier. Statuses that do something Development, Active, Archived and Retired on a load. Archived and Retired mean you are finished with it, so it leaves the rounds-you-can-load figure and is marked everywhere else, while staying available for sessions you shot on it. Archive a session and it leaves the pickers and the comparisons, and the screen tells you how many it left out. Every load in one place The Firearms tab now lists every load you own across every rifle, each row naming the rifle it belongs to. Costs you can trust, or a figure that admits it cannot be trusted Prices stay in the currency you entered them in. Nothing in this app converts between currencies, and now nothing pretends to. A load priced with no charge weight is no longer costed as though the powder were free, and it is marked as partial rather than printing a confident number. Break-even no longer tells you your equipment has paid for itself when you have not entered any equipment. Fixes Deleting a barrel while keeping its history could print the wrong chambering on the load card, the report and the target card you share. A sync could report success while the device was quietly missing rows, and now it measures what it actually received and repairs the gap. A correction typed into a group could be reverted by a background refresh before you saved it. Humidity is now checked as a percentage, so a slip cannot produce a density altitude no place on earth could give. Plus the usual pile of smaller ones. ### 1.0.221 — 2026-09-19 More cartridges, and your own The catalogue has grown from 91 cartridges to 192, including 6 PPC, 6BR, 6 BRX, the PPC family, 30 BR and 7 BR, and from 149 bullets to 198, so calibres that used to open an empty picker now have projectiles to choose from. If yours still is not there, add it to your rifle yourself, with its bullet diameter, and the bullet list filters to it. Swap barrels that change chambering A barrel chambered differently from its rifle now gets its own bullets, brass and primers, its own hole size on the target, and its own name on every screen, report and share card. Groups from your electronic target Already measured a group on an electronic target? Type the size in. LoadNode records it as entered, works out the angular size from your range, and keeps it beside your photo-measured groups. Compare sessions Put charges from different jobs side by side, with a clear note when the conditions differ enough to matter. Your data, your way Export everything to CSV (Pro), with a guide to how the files fit together. Set a factory ammo price for any cartridge, including one you typed yourself, and the cost comparison uses it. Your units, everywhere Every velocity, group size, range and chart now follows the units you chose in Settings, including the charts, the PDF reports and the home-screen widget, and every screen shows the same figure the same way. Purchases Restore Purchases now lives in Settings, where you can always find it, and a purchase made before you signed in is carried over when you do. Smarter AI analysis A saved AI analysis now tells you if the group or its shots have changed since it was written, so you know when to run it again. We also squished a good number of bugs along the way. Thanks to the shooters on the AccurateShooter and Shooters Forum boards who asked for most of this. ## Apps similar to LoadNode | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Shooting Diary](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/shooting-diary/id6747580361) | — | $4.99 | Utilities | | [ReloadVault — Reloading Log](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/reloadvault-reloading-log/id6788529718) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Utilities | | [PrecisionLoad Suite](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/precisionload-suite/id6760584719) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Utilities | | [BenchLog — Reloading Journal](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/benchlog-reloading-journal/id6790796140) | — | Free | Utilities | | [Zima: Ballistics Calculator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/zima-ballistics-calculator/id6760805492) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Utilities | | [Trax - Recording Roadkill](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/trax-recording-roadkill/id1625857851) | — | Free | Utilities | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
