I’ve had this program since around 2013. This is one of two apps I’ve ever paid for. As apps go $15 is a lot but it’s worth it. Ballistics are not simple but this app does make it easier to visualize. I tend to go month’s without shooting and this app helps me pick up where I left off. I gave it 4 stars because I miss a few things from older versions of the app. It used to have optimum PBZ and I really miss that feature (the screenshots on the website still show it under “solution info”). You can still play around with your zero range and look at PBR to figure it out. I also miss the ability to tap your elevation or windage values to toggle between primary and secondary units. The new method works but it’s a little slower for how I use it. Once I make the decision whether to adjust my scope or hold over I preferred the ability to quickly toggle between clicks and inches. Also if you select the feet/inches for Target UOM it displays 0 for target sizes smaller than 1’. A workaround is to switch Target UOM to inches. Despite these critiques it’s still an awesome app.
Good app . . . But

The app has great potential, but things change, new scopes, reticles and bullets are added every year. Without updates, especially for good quality scopes and major companies, the app is sadly lacking.
No Support
Son of Tun
This is supposedly version 5.05. The manual is version 4.05 and doesn't come close to explaining many features. I bought the app many years ago and it was good. It recently crashed so I had to purchase again. Now it's garbage with NO SUPPORT. HE'S JUST OUT FOR YOUR MONEY. Don't waste your money
Zero support from developer
CountryShine
This app has a lot of features however you cannot backup the data like you can with other apps. The app began to crash about 10 firmware updates ago upon opening. I waited it out, reached out to the developer multiple times over 2 years to discuss resolution with no response. I had over 30 profiles of custom drags models setup based on my reloading..lost. Don’t waste your time or money on this app if you want to manage load Development.
Time for an update

I’ve had this for about 4 years now. It’s been good. But latest version on my iPhone 7plus it will not populate the current weather conditions.
Ballistics Apps of 2018

Yes, its related to sniper specialty very accurate and easy to use ballistic apps, I purchased this Ballistic Apps over 2 years ago, and for comparisons, such as; StrelokPro, BulletFlight M, Ballistic AE, and iSnipe. The closes runner up Ballistic Apps that you may try are iSnipe and Ballistic AE, if you want to compare. I am an active and up to date Sniper with established Pistol and Rifle Ranges, now up to 3 miles distances. I am rating this Apps a 5 plus stars. Sergeant, USMC
Finally... long over due!

Thanks for the latest update. This has been my fav ballistic ap but could not use it for a long time. 4 stars till I get some range time to test it.
Second attemp
Thisreviewfeaturesux
After writing a lengthy review about this apps shortcomings and tendency to crash if you use a particular key feature the App Store decided to delete my entire review because the nickname I used was taken. I won't be buying any more apps without reviews. Bottom line on this app is it's based off its own data not entirely user defined data so it's pretty useless since you cannot apply your exact range, etc. waste of money.
Excellent execution

If you can't get on with this data, you should stick with a .22 and 50 feet. You need to be sure of the data you input, it can only deal with what you give it. Only complaint is recently been getting message when trying to update atmospheric conditions that the web address was incorrect. Thus, I input my own data.
