Guns Locker helps you keep track of your Firearms, Ammo, Accessories, Range Sessions, CCW Permits — and more. GUNS LOCKER FEATURES ** Gun Inventory keeps detailed inventory data about each gun.

Also provides the ability to keep track of sold guns. ** Accessories are tracked for each gun and include purchase info such as where purchased, date purchased, cost, value, and photo options. ** Unattached Accessories for tracking shared gun equipment (tools, safes, range gear). ** Notes provide a place where you can keep various records about events related to your gun, such as cleaning and maintenance records, receipts and general information. ** Photo Gallery lets you keep an unlimited number of photos for each inventory gun. The photo viewer lets you swipe through your photos with ease. You may also share your photos with others (text, email, print, etc). ** Ammo database keeps track of your ammo by caliber and gun type. It automatically tracks ammo usage and costs while providing accurate and up to date quantity-on-hand totals. When used with the Range Sessions feature, the ammo database is automatically updated with the ammo used and rounds spent, thus providing accurate Qty-On-Hand totals. The ammo database can also be used as a stand-alone database without using the Range Sessions feature. ** Range Sessions & the Range Analysis Tool helps you keep track of your range visits, range costs, which guns were used, and what ammunition was used for each gun. You can save and share multiple photos of your targets for each range gun. The Range Analysis Tool digs even deeper to show all ammo used by a specific range gun as well as show all range guns that used specific ammo. ** Gun Cleaning List & Automatic Gun Cleaning Notifications. Each gun has a "Needs Cleaning" flag that gets updated when a gun is added to a range session (you can also manually add a gun to the Gun Cleaning List). The number of guns on the Cleaning List appears on the Dashboard under “Alerts” & Reminders”. You can access the Cleaning List from the Dashboard to mark guns as Cleaned. Automatic cleaning notifications are also sent to your phone and/or watch. ** Conceal Carry Permits allow you to keep all your CCW permit and related information safe and secure in one place. The CCW database includes front and back photos of your permit, date issued and expiration date, and comments. Gun Locker will automatically remind you when the CCW expiration date is approaching using Notifications and appearing on the Dashboard screen. ** War Chest provides a place to store information about non-firearm related items. Keep records for your knives, swords, axes, non-lethal defensive items, tools, etc.. Keeps track of the total count and value for all items. ** Spending Report allows you to see where and how much spending has occurred for any date range by Guns, Ammo, Accessories, Range costs, War Chest.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: myArmsCache at 2.2K against Guns Locker's 8. Guns Locker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
