### 1/5 — Don’t Buy

*2025-12-28*

This app is garbage. Paid and downloaded the app. Every time I open the app it opens my email application and will not open, completely useless. Don’t waste your money or your time

### 1/5 — Money back

*2024-10-29*

Went to download this app and it does nothing!! 
Just pushes me to a website 

Please refund

**Developer response:** Hey! I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble. You have to click the buttons themselves to input the data. After further review we tried replicating the issue and have had no luck with finding anything being forced to a website and other testers have had no issues. If you need help with a walk through how to use the app, you can email us and we’d be happy to help.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2023-01-23*

Can input any data from phone

**Developer response:** Hey! I am sincerely sorry. If you have any issues with the app please report the bug to us so that we can fix it immediately for you.

### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps!

*2020-10-30*

It absolutely has everything you need for load development!

### 5/5 — It Works

*2020-09-27*

The app is not buggy, does what it claims on my iPad and phone.  The reviews on the webpage are actual reviews with facts and trials to back up the claims written.  Try it!  You won’t be disappointed.

### 5/5 — A+++++

*2020-07-29*

With the amount of data points and ease of use this app is surely going to change the way most of us view reloading. A true evolutionary gain in the reloading world. Simple, fast and top notch customer service!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Perfect organizational reloading tool!

*2020-07-29*

I’ve been reloading for 10 years and moved at least 5 times during those years. My notes and books don’t always make the trip unscathed. This is a great way to keep all of your notes and load data together in one place. I’m really impressed on how in-depth the app is so you can annotate down to the most minute detail. This is a must have for serious reloaders.

**Developer response:** Thank you! We will be adding a bunch of more perks to the app itself here in a few weeks.

### 5/5 — Streamlined powerful source for tracking data.

*2020-07-29*

One of the most overlooked aspects of reloading (and reloading accurately and safely) is accurate note taking. Rather than scribbling data down on pieces of paper, this app gives you every data point you can think of and more. Besides just organizing load data, you can store info for your rifle, weather conditions, and specs on each individual component. A huge plus are the charts for everything from calculating shot strings to recording data for a OCW test. Definitely worth the 99 pennies haha. Give it a try, you’ll find you’ll rely on it more and more as you mess around with it!

**Developer response:** So glad you like it! 👊🏻 wait till you see the next update!

### 5/5 — App for the Modern Reloader

*2020-07-27*

As someone who likes to keep things simple and handy I track all my load data, loading logs, etc. digitally. I spent quite some time trying to figure out Excel with formulas, graphs and everything else. After combing through the data that I can now keep track of with this app I have almost transferred the majority of my data to it. It's simple, user friendly and self explanatory. Most importantly it's straight to the point. I can not imagine the amount of time that went in to creating, developing, trial and error of this app but I am grateful it is here now. If you want to track all things reloading, then here you go because this is the app for it all!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the kind words! We have very many more updates planned. This is just the beginning!

### 5/5 — Great app and getting better

*2020-07-27*

Finally a developer bringing load development into  2020. Reloading is an old pastime and the need for quality digital resources is at an all time high. Unfortunately most reloading companies are not  investing in digital resources and materials. This leaves new and “modern” reloaders to rely on the ol’ pen and paper or some crusty open source excel doc for load development and tracking. Give this app a buy and a try and you will love it for load development and the non-reddit/non-Facebook based reloading forum.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review. We are glad you are enjoying it! We have so many updates planned. This will become a once and done app because we will include everything you’ll need 👊🏻
