### 3/5 — Previous version was better

*2020-06-21*

Generally works very well although it’s hard to adjust for altitude as in there is nowhere to put it in.
Information is in a form that I don’t need -I don’t have any need for mrad & would prefer MOA instead of clicks

### 2/5 — App crash

*2016-07-24*

Apps good when it works. It has crashed and three different iphones and an iPad. 
Needs a fix

### 1/5 — Upset

*2015-03-06, version 1.2*

It crashes once I set a profile

### 1/5 — So buggy it won't launch

*2014-03-19, version 1.2*

If it worked at all, I might rate it higher.

### 1/5 — Bullet types

*2014-01-08, version 1.1*

The bullet types don't make any sense I ain't heard of a bullet called arrow head or whatever else there is

### 1/5 — Sako ballistics app

*2013-12-05*

Crashes, won't open up again

### 1/5 — Pitiful

*2013-09-09, version 1.0*

.

### 1/5 — App crashes.

*2013-08-03, version 1.0*

After you open it and close it again i can't re open it.

### 1/5 — Doesn't even work

*2013-03-15, version 1.0*

After the initial setup the app crashes and won't load when reopening. Not sure if its because of the switch to imperial measurements or not.

### 3/5 — Nice layout

*2013-02-28*

Good for a simple reference
All data is based on sako ammo, can change values but doesn't always like it

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2013-02-03*

Used once and now crashes at opening. Disappointing, as this program looks as though it would be useful.

### 1/5 — One star is generous

*2012-12-09, version 1.0*

App crashes and won't open after setting it up

### 1/5 — Get the Winchester app

*2012-12-02*

Could not modify muzzle velocity, gave up on this one

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2012-11-15*

Keeps crashing on the opening page worked once and hasn't worked since.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Backwards velocities

*2024-10-10*

Velocity goes up instead of down

### 1/5 — Numbers don’t stack up

*2023-04-03*

Concept is good, and layout is good, but the numbers make no sense. I have it set to Imperial and I am zeroed at 100yards. If I change the slider to say 200, at the top it say

Impact Point (in) 3cm, and 4 clicks adjustment.

How can it be 3cm in inches?

And in reality, drop is more like 5 inches.

### 1/5 — No .204? No good.

*2020-01-06*

If you go to the Sako website and build a model 85 Varmint, the first 3 choices are chambered in .204 Ruger.  I bought one of them and it is a fantastic rifle.  This Sako app doesn’t include .204 as a caliber choice.  The smallest it offers is .222.  It is useless to me until the .204 is added.  Please add it in an update so I can use it, and I will update this review.  Thanks.  Greg in Canada.

### 1/5 — Crashes on open

*2019-09-21*

Really...

### 1/5 — It won’t let me set muzzle velocity

*2018-03-01, version 1.3*

For my specific round. If I try and change it, it s to 1000 FPS.

### 1/5 — Need to update

*2017-10-25, version 1.2*

Needs update to work on 11.0

### 1/5 — Fail

*2017-09-02, version 1.2*

Works until you put a custom profile in.  Then it crashes upon opening.  Must re-download to fix.

### 1/5 — Seemed to work once, but won't launch

*2017-05-31, version 1.2*

Seemed to work the first time, though with a message that the app needs updating. Now won't launch or crashes. Probably worked for
Older iOS versions but was just never maintained

### 1/5 — NOT reliable

*2016-06-07*

Repeated instances of the app just freezing and then being unable to be opened.

Sort it out, fellas!

### 1/5 — Not Impressed

*2016-03-11, version 1.2*

No option for .204 Ruger caliber which is offered by both Sako and Tikka.

### 5/5 — Awesome Free Ballistics App

*2017-12-01, version 1.3*

I have a Tikka M695 Master All Weather in .300 Win Mag. This app (version 1.3 updated 11/30/2017) is the BEST free ballistics app I’ve used. It would be nicer if there were more bullet options (such as brand <Remington, Winchester>, Core Lokt, jacketed, soft tip, etc.) and weight options (150gr, 180gr, etc.) as well as hand loads, but this is great without going overboard (scope type, reticle type, altitude, moon phase, planetary alignment, location of Illuminati members).

### 5/5 — Good idea

*2014-05-01*

Good idea

### 5/5 — USA Conversion

*2014-02-04, version 1.1*

It would make a whole lot of your American customers' happy, if there was a US conversion button on your AP. I like the comparison chart, since I am looking at a 308 Carbine vs 270 Hunter right now in a Sako rifle.

### 5/5 — Great app !

*2014-01-28, version 1.1*

If you know about the bullet types and the kind of rifle the app is designed for it is really useful.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-10-13*

Makes more sense in a iPhone app than a computer program... Good call.

### 5/5 — What an awesome app

*2012-10-02*

Just like Ronseal Hamlet Wheatabix and Smarties rolled into one. Awesome !

### 4/5 — Accurate

*2019-09-30*

I have found the predicted results to be pretty accurate when compared to actual results on the range. It is straightforward and easy to set up. A valuable reference.

The UI needs to be improved for field or hunting applications. Difficult to select precise distances quickly.

### 4/5 — Sako app review

*2013-06-07*

Very nice app. However, when you change the conversions to imperial they app will shut down and you can't get back into it.

### 4/5 — It works

*2012-10-22, version 1.0*

It works as advertised, but only for SAKO ammo.

### 4/5 — ASH3006

*2012-10-12*

It's actually looks fairly good.  Haven't used in practice, but looks simple to use.  App stopped working, had to delete and reinstall, all OK now.
