Great program finally comes to iOS. Have used before on other platforms and really missed it on iOS. Great company behind the math and down to earth, plain speak explanations. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself with Litz’s books. The answers are there.

Outstanding!! Haven’t settled yet on which device I want for my solver, data, etc.. So glad I now have a high quality Ballistic solver for my iPhone. Thanks AP!

Well after a long wait, it's finally here. Or is it? I'm sure the app will eventually be great but right now there are tons of bugs. The atmospherics won't auto-populate being the most glaring. The "come ups" are drastically different than competitor programs. I haven't had a chance to shoot and test this but will this week. So we'll see about that. Again, I have hope for this becoming my go to app, but as it stands, it needs some work.
it's got some fixes waiting for Apple to push out

Some of the menu navigation is not quite intuitive so read, re-read their online instructions and when in doubt swipe anyof your input fields to the left. Read on one of their support threads (Snipers Hide) about some bug fixes based on feedback (excellent turnaround time!) one of which happens to be for the specific bullet's data I use for long range target shooting. They are waiting for Apple to push these fixes out now so once I see how the app's solutions line up with my observed data I might raise this to 5 stars. As is though, this is a very good tool for distance shooting that you can now use on your iOS device. Plus it comes from a crew of people dedicated to this sport, very responsive and enthusiastic. a As a matter of fact, if you are new to the sport you could look at this app as an excellent primer. Study this app, learn how to use it, practice with it and you will ramp up your ability very effectively making this app a great value.
Bug fix needed

Sight in distance immediately changes in the HUD/table. My sight in distance is 200yds entered into the bullet data. When I look at the table, 200yds is down .4 MOA and 225yds is closer to my zero.
Great app, could use one more feature

This is the most useful and user friendly ballistics calculator I have used. One small feature would make it perfect. If it allowed you to just enter Density Altitude instead of all the atmospheric conditions it would be 5 stars. Seems like an easy feature to add, so might make a good next release.
Needs some work...

Several issues with the second release: Hi, I recently purchased AB for iPhone and can't get several things to work compared to friends who have the same on Droids. 1. I do not see a way to purchase custom drag curves even making sure advance mode is on. In drag selection I only have G1 and G7. 2. In Ballistic Calculation, Range 1 is 1566 to 2116 yds, Range 2 is 3055 to 3867 yds and Range 3, at least 300 yds longer than Range 3. That's not gonna happen. Even after adjusting target range and turning on/off zero data, those huge numbers stay the same. 3. I am definitely getting different solutions that using G7 data or experimental G1 data in AB than I do with Shooter and Shooter is closer to actual out to 2000 yards.
iPhone User Save Your $

Ios app has basic features. Wont allow you to edit bullet characteristics (like fps) after initially saved. Closing the app requires re-entry of atmospherics and target data...EVERY TIME. No bluetooth link capabilities with Kestrel like on Droid version. If this was free i would use it on my iphone. Otherwise, save your $

I purchased this app yesterday before heading to the range. I was skeptical of the purchase due to the poor reviews but am very pleased so far. Many of the reviews complain that the different guns and ammunition can't be edited or deleted after entry, this is not true. You simply swipe left on the entry (kind of like you do with any other list of stuff in iOS e.i. music, emails, etc.) and you have the option to edit or delete the data. There are also complaints about having to re-enter atmospheric info each time you open the app or switch from different ammo. Also untrue, from the home screen there is icon that allows you to access preferences. There you will find an option to save atmospheric data along with a ton of other options. As for the accuracy of the calculation that it performs I have no experience with other sources to compare it to and have not completed the calibration process yet, which is essential at this point because I have no chronograph to measure my muzzle velocity. I plan to post any issues with accuracy of the algorithm if I notice any.
