Unusable chart for iPad

Joebass5

Very comprehensive. Has everything you need for competitive shooting. The solution chart is unusable because it cuts off the distances in the display.

Sorry, but I loved the oringinal version. I have to rate this new version a 2 as it doesn't have a way to backup and restore dope. I saw notes posted 7/18 that is was not ready for public, and there is no way to manually export and store data. I lost all my dope when my phone was damaged. If you provide a way to backup and restore data again... I would rate this 5 stars.

New update

Dkhall82

Since the new update the HUD is having issues when you adjust the distance, wind, or direction with the arrows. The solutions adjust but you don’t know how much you adjusted them. The only way is to directly type in distance, wind, and wind direction. Please take the time to update this as it’s becoming very frustrating. Thank you.

The most accurate external ballistics app for iOS

Digital Crisis

Works great on an iPhone. iPad, not so much. Mostly GUI and table glitches that are substantial.

Needs to have same features as android

Andrew_562

I reference this app daily while in the ranges. Between the instructors we have iOS and Android phones and this app varies between the two platforms. Example, iOS I am not shown where transonic begins where as the Android does. Small differences are more of an inconvenience if anything. Plus, we also use the Kestrel 5700 with Applied Ballistics and I would LOVE to see some of the same features and data fields. I feel at the price I paid for this app I should have access to more. AB, please let me know what you think.

iPad fail

Ballistics table doesn’t format correctly on iPad.

Problems since 2019 update

The HUD displays when a person changes the distance/wind do not adjust in the respective display panels, however the data for adjustments is displaying. An example, you will see the distance display as 950 yards, when adjusting the distance the yardage display does not change but the solutions change. The problem this causes is one may think they have a solution for XX yardage, but in fact the displayed distance is incorrect. Tried calling the customer service number as well as emailed costumer support.....crickets. Maybe they will fix these issues with the next update. Otherwise, great info and data. Easy to use and was extremely pleased before the software update. Now I’m patiently waiting on the fix to this issue.

Best ballistics app

Crusader308

I’m a firm believer that Bryan Litz has forgotten more about ballistics than the majority of shooters will ever know, let alone understand. With that said, this app relies on the input of accurate information. The more accurate the inputs, the more accurate the resulting output. You absolutely must use accurate muzzle velocity based on accurate atmospheric readings at the time of measurement. It is crucial to then take accurate atmospheric readings at the time of the shot. There are several good ballistic apps out there, but I’ve not seen one any more accurate than Applied Ballistics. If you expect any ballistics app to give accurate information based on the muzzle velocity printed on the ammo box and what the local weatherman says the barometric pressure and temperature are, you’re not going to be happy with the results. Ballistics are all about the math and adding 4+5 will not get you to 10.

Outstanding app, nothing more needs to be said! With that said, lol, TReMor3 and MSR would be nice to have included someday (however you can always make it work with the 2 and the basic duplex MRAD).

Reticle

Bought the app and noticed it didn’t have the reticle I currently have is there anyway to get the EBR-2C FFP reticle on the list?
