Good but needs a table
pugsarepotatos
I like this app a lot and I was excited to find out they had finally put it on iOS the only issue I really have with it is the lack of a table like the android version has. I hope the developers will implement that feature in the next possible update
Finally it is here

Easy app to use and has all the features needed to help site in at the range or in the field. Great work and I look forward to updates!
A Must

For airgun shooters this is amazing! A must. I have been using the computer version for years, great to be able to take it shooting with me now.
Great ballistics app, still some room for improvement.

UPDATE: The developer has updated the app three times in two weeks, and has made great strides in addressing the issues I mentioned below. Now I'd say it is truly a 4 star app, with room for growth and a bit more interface work needed. Its still the best ballistics app in the app store for under $20 USD. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm giving it 4 stars, though it's got a lot of room for improvement... Why? It's unique and free, and even does some things better than the $10-$29 ballistic apps. (This is an airgun specific app, but would work great for powderburners too, as long as you know your basic ballistic data). For airgunners, there is no better choice. The pellet library is huge, and much of the interface will be familiar to desktop chairgun users. It's simpler and offers more features than the expensive ballistic apps. If I have one big complaint, it's that too little attention was paid to the layout and aesthetics of the interface. That said, if you use Chairgun on your desktop, you're used to a clunky outdated interface... The App title header is huge, obtrusive, and unnecessary. It eats up 10% or so of the limited iphone screen, and serves no purpose. I clicked on the app to open it, and waited through the splash screen while it loaded, I don't need to be reminded which app I'm looking at! There are some alignment issues with text and input boxes, which ought to be sn easy clean-up for the developers. The animated gear background on the "extras" screen is annoying and hugely distracting. Give us some clean buttons, please. Hire a good interface designer to clean things up, and this is approaching a 4 star app! I love the swipe to change graph views - it makes it easier to view graphs than the desktop version even. The +- 25 yards is a great option, though I'd like to be able to select different scales (1 yard might take up too much real estate, but how about 5 or 10? The inclinometer is cool, but there are some minor bugs when looking at the reticle screen. The measure incline button disappears when looking at other options... The reticle options are great for Hawke owners, which I am not. That said, the generic mil dot option covers the rest of us. I'd like to see a graphical representation of windage - how about an option that shows the actual point of impact for a given range and wind speed, instead of just a number? That and a few of the interface improvements would move this into 6 star territory for airgunners! So far it's stable, loads fast, and does what it claims. Thanks, Hawke - but please fix a few issues and continue to develop this app!
They make great optics AND apps!!

This app is feature packed and a must own for all air gun owners.
Airgun only :(

They should put out a full app for more then just air guns, they should make the iPhone app equivalent of their regular ballistic program, like on the Pc
This is a slick little program for air gunners.

Seems to do all the basics and then some for a ballistics calculator. Only thing I'd add would be to extend the pellet library a little more; add Gamo Raptor and some of the other PBA pellets. Also raise the velocity limit from 1200 fps to maybe 1500 fps. My Webley Patriot has been chronographed at well over 1300 fps with PBA pellets.
Very good!

Great app with a lot of features that actually surprised me. A must for the serious airgun shooter. Two complains: 1 - It could have higher resolution for the iPhone 4 and 4S retina screen. 2 - A Mac version would be awesome, everyone else and I would be so thankful. Keep up the good work! Thank you for offering it free.
