Very Good — With a Serious Issue – Applied Ballistics Review

First off Brian Litz who is behind this is one of the world’s top balisticians. His books are the top reference books on the subject. I love the app. It is second to none. However it has a serious issue. First off, it asks a crapload of questions about your firearm and ammo. This is good. That’s what makes it accurate. However I recently upgraded my iPhone and then went to a match. While at rue match I wanted to use the app to work out my drops at the various stages. I opened up the app and all the firearm and load data I entered was gone. I use iCloud for my data backup but this app does not. Then it wanted me to “Restore my Purchases” (for the custom bullet BC profiles I paid for). How was I supposed to do that while at the match with zero cell reception? So this is a great app if you don’t mind rebuilding your firearm and bullet profiles every time you upgrade your phone. I believe I could have done significantly better at the match had my ballistics app actually been able to be used at the match. Grrrrrrr.......
