Great app, u can load in the type of bullet ur shooting or manually type in the bullet data. It would be nice if u could add the barrel length bc it maxes out at 4 inches

It is rare, but occasionally it happens, that all the elements of knowledge, experience, understanding and wisdom come together and are manifested in genius. This program is that manifestation. The gentleman whose mind envisioned the perfect ballistics program has indeed exemplified intelligence, intellect, and master craftsmanship. All these attributes are embodied in this incredible feature rich ballistics app. After struggling with the touted simplicity of Shooter, and the over-hyped Ballistic AE in both the iPad and iPhone versions, my research and frustration led me to Mil-Dot Ballistics; What a costly and disappointing journey until my ultimate discovery of Mil-Dot. Ballistic AE “No-Reply” tech support (three attempts without as much as the courtesy of an acknowledgment) failed to respond to the crashing of their program whenever trying to save settings within the rangefinder module. There is no tech support or training of any kind apart from a few U-Tubers exercising their egos while ignoring crying babies and fighting dogs in the background. Alternatively, Mil-Dot offers an in-depth PDF User manual and in-devise training module. The User Manual is elaborate, professional, and high quality. While you only purchase one version for both iPad and iPhone, there are separate User Manuals for each version. It is most apparent the gentleman behind this program(s) has a deep sense of pride of ownership and desires that all users obtain the finest insight and knowledge before spending countless time and money (and possibly frustration and disappointment) while on the range. And speaking of time and money, after we shooters spend perhaps thousands of dollars on equipment, hours of valuable time in loading, travel and range time, is all comes together as precision and perfection, but only if we score in our individual competitive events. You can bake all of the preparation time and equipment into the shooter cake, but this program is the icing on the cake in terms of complete and total integration of training, equipment, ammo, time, experience, skill, knowledge, desire, and, of course, a competitor’s determination. And the ‘cherry’ on top of the cake is the genius behind and supporting this excellent app in its various versions. And if anyone is wondering if I have been paid to take the time to write this review; YES, I was paid in kind when I purchased a $199.95 for $19.95 – and each time I use this program I will receive renewals and accruals and investment dividends in saved time, zero frustration, a sense of satisfaction, and what we all strive for as competitive shooters; high scores and a sense of self-mastery and accomplishment. Lastly, be sure to read the reviews of this app in the all versions tab in the app store since most reviews are under this tab. The last time I checked there were more than two hundred reviews from some of our nation’s most knowledgeable and respected shooters. Shoot for Gold and enjoy our American sport.
Great

I play with this app all the time I love the wide variety of scope reticles I can choose. Would be nice if they would add Trijicon and Bushnell

Well if I can hit a steel plate at 950 yards it must work, it's not spot on but it will put you paper first shot every time
Makes sense

Once I got the hang of how to record target, gun, ammo, and optic info, the condition variables became easy to adjust and the results are easy to view. I'm anxious to try it out at the range. Previous reviews indicate that the calculations are accurate. Price is competitive.
No longer works!!

Loved this app but an update just came out today and when I tried to download it, it said unable to download at this time. The app stayed in the "waiting" mode even after hard restart. I deleted app and tried to redownload and got same result. What's up?!
No longer works with Oct. 2015 Update

This is an awfully expensive app to all of a sudden break! Update reports some missing URL and freezes iTunes. I had to uninstall the app to be able to backup my iPad and now I can’t reinstall it. Hopefully a patch is in the works!
Great App!

I've used several apps in the field and Mil-Dot Ballistics is one of the best. I'm using a Vortex HST 6-24x50 scope on a Remington 700 SPS 308. It's a tack driver and this app gives me confidence to dial in any shot. The app has a substantial database of scope reticles that continues to grow. It's a bit pricy but it's worth every cent.
A few crashes

Overall I like using the program, once you enter your ballistic data, the firing solution is provided. Missing a few reticles but I can work around that.
