### 4/5 — Works For Me on My Ipad

*2020-02-01*

Seems to work just fine.

### 5/5 — Worked perfect

*2019-12-13*

Worked perfectly

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-01-22*

This app crashes when I try to use the wind meter. Please fix and actually test this app.

### 1/5 — Pull it or Fix it

*2019-01-01*

This is pure corporate fraud at this point. Nikon continues to advertise the app as a feature of its scopes, but cannot make it work any longer. It was great over a year ago, but it’s clear they can’t make it work. Nikon will not return emails or calls regarding the app and their CS is useless! Apple needs to pull this app from the platform as Nikon SpotOn is not functional on the iPad or iPhone.

### 1/5 — Nikon Spot On App

*2018-12-20*

What happened to this app , it use to work great with my iPhone 6 not anymore it want do anything but crash now, I have always kept my phones software updated , I own 5 Nikon scopes now this great tool is useless for me, oh well their are other apps and other scopes out their

### 1/5 — Still locking up

*2018-12-06*

I use this app on my phone and it works. Not so much on the iPad keeps locking up STILL! Get your crap together and fix it.

### 1/5 — Keeps locking up

*2018-11-17*

Great idea .....but it locks up after you run the program one time. I have to delete the app and reinstall. Pls fix!!!!!

### 5/5 — Handy tool!!

*2016-03-12*

I love this app!!  Yes it has some bugs that Weren't an issue many years ago, but it is so simple, it is the only one that's this user friendly and this high quality.  Some bugs you'll experience...  when you select a different ammo, it will exit out of the app and bring you to the home screen.  Another bug is that all the ammo isn't in alpha order for all brands of ammo.  If they fix those things, I would pay $20 for the app without question.

### 1/5 — Sad

*2015-08-28, version 2.2.8*

What happened, as I got older. I wanted to make things simple and I found Spot-on ........man this was it ....... And now ......what happened .....makes me sad : (

### 4/5 — Beginners only!

*2015-07-06*

I wrote a previous review which was pretty lengthy. Apparently it wasn't approved of and deleted. I will make this short and sweet.

The iPad app interface is clean and straightforward. Drop-down menus scroll smoothly. According to Nikon, you should be able to use this app without a Internet/Wi-Fi connection.

The hold over and BDC charts are pretty nifty. The beginner should really appreciate this.

My biggest complaint: once you enter your information and zero with a particular round, the app will not adjust if you switch to a different brand of ammunition. For example, you zero using Hornady ammunition, but two days later you decide to switch to Remington while hunting varmint. The app has no way to compensate for switching ammunition.

This app is great for the nova shooter, but a complete waste of five dollars for anyone else. This should be nothing more than a $.99 app.
