AB Quantum App Reviews

Like this app. Really good so far, will you ever add Vortex reticles to this?

Lost. The old version I could type in distance no problem. I guess I’m not technically up to date. The ones with the tech toys probably works great.

Apple Watch. Great app wish there was an Apple Watch version

Still buggy. Just downloaded latest update, and immediately found that it remains buggy. Edited the G7 ballistic coefficient on a profile and saved the changes. The correct edited G7 coefficient shows up in the profile list summary, but when you hit edit it immediately reverts to the old value instead of the new edited value.

Reticle Support. No reticle support for any Vortex scopes. Yes they are copyrighted, but Vortex is one of the most popular scopes in America. Make an effort.

Texan shooter. Great tool for your tactical tool box. Great first shot hits , plus great support. Recommend highly, especially paired with kestrel, AB version kestrel

Familiar if you've use ballistic calculators before. Best of the best with custom CDM availability.. I spent a lot of time prior in the paid version of Strelok Pro, as well as some time with Hornady 4DOF and Trasol. The Applied Ballistics app in its current incarnation is very familiar if you've wrangled those apps before and have experience in long range shooting. To the average new shooter, a lot will be unintelligible jargon (look angle, sight height, CDM, G7, etc.), but this should feel right at home to anyone experienced. The layout is consistent with generously sized buttons and text, and exposes pretty much everything you would expect to need when planning a shot.

Bring back rifle profiles, actually bring back the old app.. This is the slowest, buggiest, hardest to navigate ballistic program I have ever used. Nothing is intuitive or easy to navigate. It crashes between switching loads and the calculator screen. All in all I am hugely disappointed. Keep it simple. This was a massive fail AB. I’ve come to expect a lot more.

Best ballistics available. The science was always great with AB. Now the interface, cloud and device support is great. Continuous improvement - this app is the gold standard.

Worked on my iPad but now it doesn't. I installed the app on my iPhone and iPad. It worked on both, including websynch, as of yesterday. I used my iPhone at the range today and modified the velocity of the bullet in one of my rifles so I synched it to the web. When I got home I discovered that the iPad version synchs but when I select the bullet it crashes. It does this on every bullet for every rifle. I have yet to figure out how to get the app to pull weather. The selector in the preferences is turned on but nothing ever changes It seems accurate but I've only tested at 100, 200, & 300

No Good Anymore. Yeah… Sorry to say it. After years of using the fantastic previous version… AB Quantum is full of problems and missing features. It should have never been released / pushed in its current state. Really a shame.

Great but way overpriced. Got a full view of the app and eventhough its a big improvement over previous version this upgrade is also way over price with an endless yearly fee.

Watch. I hope they add watch to this. We know they can do it, the garmin watch is proof. Please add this to the Apple watch.

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.

Advanced application but Output needs work. Corrected my error saying cdms did not transfer between ipad and iphone (they do). This is definitely an advanced app and not for the faint of heart. I read the books by Bryan Litz and I highly recommend those books to understand all the variables and the impact. The user interface is clunky and it makes it a bit annoying when used, but you are getting the application for shooting not based on looks. Here are my initial impressions The CDMs are a bit expensive (1.99 each), but if they save you a few bullets you will come out ahead. I wish they had a way to buy a group of bullets at a discount such as all berger bullets in 30 caliber (or select x amount at a discount such as 10 bullets for 15 dollars). The tables have problems with tables in the ipad. No issues with the view in the iphone 7s. At this point I give it three stars for the issues with the ipad not correctly formatting the tables. I think ballistic AE is a better app for more casual shooters who want basic G1 and G7 profiles and who remain out of the transonic due to the slicker interface/UI look. The CDMs are a welcome addition and those who shoot at ranges through the transonic then this is the application you will need.

Off to a good start. Bring back linear path, we need that for magnifiers red dots.

Sub optimal. One major miss-step.. Pretty nice interface for single targets. But Target Card is very poorly set up. One of the most important tools for PRS matches, and this app doesn’t allow for multiple stages or All Target Wind inputs. The Kestrel setup is vastly superior. Major shortcoming for this app, they could have made it MUCH more functional. Was going to switch to Quantum and a Claypso wind guage — but this flaw makes it a non-starter. Disappointed.

No More One-Time Purchase Option??. Removing that option is an unfortunate decision on the dev teams end. Not everything needs to be a subscription nowadays, and unfortunately that makes it an instant uninstall for me.

Update ruined the GUI. This is by far the most difficult user interface. The app is built to pair to high end accessories, and offers no real value to shooters who don’t own the entire suite of gear. I also lost all of my data and custom drag models that I purchased in this last update. I am considering building my own app now with end user interface in mind.

Way improved BUT way overpriced. I’ve used for years other PRO ballistic apps available as well and even they do not fall into the level of detail this one provides they all cost a fixed price; instead of 3 times their cost previously (without the “Quantum” improvement on interface and database for reticles, which in my opinion does not justify the HUGE yearly cost for serious recreational shooters.

Beware of other reviews. 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.

New update 👍🏻👍🏻. They really took the time to get it right this time. The old app was kind of unreliable and not for the noob. The new quantum update is great. Its super user friendly and spot on. Too early to say that it 100% replaces the kestrel but dang, it’s pretty comprehensive. If you don’t have one just get a cheap wind meter and thermometer and save $650!

Subscription. Switching to a subscription model from a buy it for life model is a stupid money grab. Not everything should be a subscription and this is a perfect example of something that shouldn’t be.

Decent App; Great data. Edited: At first I really disliked the app. I had 3 main issues with it, 1 of which was user error. The second issue was the user interface, which is still not very good, but workable. The third issue is that it doesn’t work right on the I-pad. Brass tax. If you want quick results, this is not your app. You have to be willing to dive into the users manual (available online) and work past some confusing set up criteria. But if you want the best data and you’re willing to spend some time getting to know the app, you’ll be very pleased, so long as you aren’t on an i-pad.

Excellent. I have used AB Ballistics since it first came out. But I also use Shooter in competition because the user interface is so much faster for PRS. I also use 4DOF if I am running Hornady bullets for the aerodynamic jump. So AB was slowly relegated to ELR only for the custom drag models. But all this has changed with Quantum. It now has the easiest to use and fastest interface of all the apps. And it always had the best calculations for all bullets. Now it also integrates my binos and wind meter. I am SO happy. Good job AB.

User error really but it’s gotten hard to use. The new interface is a complete pain to use give me the old one back

The #1 Ballistic App. Best ballistic shooting and learning app to date!

This app is now terrible. I hope they get the bugs figured out, but it just constantly freezes and crashes, half my profiles had disappeared (were there first time I opened the app then they just vanished) and just now I made sure it’s the latest version and now ALL of my profiles are gone. user interface to get a solution is terrible and gets stuck on say range card making it unable to change any input. It seems as if where buttons are suppose to be they just stop working randomly. and instead of “folders” ie guns that you can build different loads for, all profiles are on the same screen so you scroll and scroll and scroll and then they all disappear. But mostly the crashing and freezing and user interface makes it miserable. I actually built profiles in Hornady, which I also don’t like, for the first time in like 3 years since downloading it because it is so terrible. Reached out a week or so ago and haven’t heard anything back from them. Little cloud symbol I’m guessing is sync, shows a check mark. I really hate the app now, it’s useless. Also it wouldn’t even find my nor my buddies kestrel to even try to link up to. It feels like they didn’t even test it to see if it worked, just pushed the beta version to everyone. I’ve left probably 3 reviews of products in my life but this warrants it unfortunately. If things improve I’ll amend my review

No way to transfer profiles. I have been using AB Synapse with my Garmin tactix watches since the Garmin Tactix Delta first came out. There does not seem a way to transfer the platform or bullet data to Quantum. I have not seen any features in Quantum that are a paradigm shift compared to Synapse which would justify the switch. From what I understand Quantum is being used as a platform for AB to increase a passive income stream. The UI is not that much of an improvement, & because they stopped updating Synapse, eventually you will be forced to use Quantum, & pay to play.

Incredible! Must have for anyone who shoots far enough to need a ballistic solver!!!. Until recently, the best ballistic solvers were still pretty clunky and basic. Aptly renamed, the newest versions of Applied Ballistics is truly a Quantum leap. Its engine had always been one of the best, but others were easier (not easy!) to use. Now AB has not only completely revised everything about its interface to be the best version, but it has leapfrogged all the competition to become far easier to understand and to use. Not only that, but at warp speed it is adding huge powerful new features never available before with frequent releases. I’m blown away (pun intended).

Best ballistics app. I’m a firm believer that Bryan Litz has forgotten more about ballistics than the majority of shooters will ever know, let alone understand. With that said, this app relies on the input of accurate information. The more accurate the inputs, the more accurate the resulting output. You absolutely must use accurate muzzle velocity based on accurate atmospheric readings at the time of measurement. It is crucial to then take accurate atmospheric readings at the time of the shot. There are several good ballistic apps out there, but I’ve not seen one any more accurate than Applied Ballistics. If you expect any ballistics app to give accurate information based on the muzzle velocity printed on the ammo box and what the local weatherman says the barometric pressure and temperature are, you’re not going to be happy with the results. Ballistics are all about the math and adding 4+5 will not get you to 10.

Confined and restricted. For an app that’s free and restricts your ability to shoot out to distances past 875 yards and the limited amount of reticles this app supports is pathetic … as some one with multiple applications that I’ve paid for in the past, I will never pay $30 for this

Perfect fire solution. I purchased this app and custom drag profile for my bullet. After having to fudge the muzzle velocities and ballistic coefficients to make other calculators somewhat match reality, this app came up with the real world 1000 yard firing solution the first time around without altering any numbers to reach that corrected solution. It may seem pricey for an app, but I consider this an absolute steal for what you get and about the most useful app one could hope for.

Lost All Data. Maybe it’s user error. Maybe it’s because the app is not intuitive. I got a new phone and lost all of my data. New screen. As if I had no account. As if I hadn’t purchased dozens of custom drag models. All gone. Clicked on “restore purchases” and got zip, nada, nothing. Tried “web sync” - nope. Good thing I still have my data on StrelokPro and keep hard-copy hand-written notes, but what a waste of time it was to use this app only to lose all of my efforts when I upgraded to a new phone. Thanks for nothing and for wasting my time and money. I realize your drag models are supposedly the gold standard, but your app leaves a lot to be desired in user friendliness. I’ve used maybe half a dozen or more ballistic apps and, overall, my experience with StrelokPro has been much better, and I actually had more hits at varying distances with data from StrelokPro than the data given by AB.

Problems since 2019 update. The HUD displays when a person changes the distance/wind do not adjust in the respective display panels, however the data for adjustments is displaying. An example, you will see the distance display as 950 yards, when adjusting the distance the yardage display does not change but the solutions change. The problem this causes is one may think they have a solution for XX yardage, but in fact the displayed distance is incorrect. Tried calling the customer service number as well as emailed costumer support.....crickets. Maybe they will fix these issues with the next update. Otherwise, great info and data. Easy to use and was extremely pleased before the software update. Now I’m patiently waiting on the fix to this issue.

Great promise but no bug fixes for a long time. New version seems to have removed ability to adjust ballistic coefficient. Not sure what bugs were fixed, but apart from the vanishing BCs, I don't seem much difference. App is good, but still disappointed that Litz' signature application is not being maintained and enhanced to fulfill the original promise. Old review: This a good app. I bought it as an upgrade to Shooter which is allegedly written by the same person. In reality there is presently no major advance over its predecessor. The ballistics modeling is a little more refined but the promised custom drag curves have still not materialized. Many of the features could need a little refinement and there are still quite a few bugs that need to be fixed. Considering this app is branded Applied Ballistics, I was expecting that it would be continuously refined to reflect positively on Mr Litz and his endeavors. I am giving it three stars, since there has been no substantial update for a long time. I am wondering if Mr Litz has given up supporting the iPhone?

Doesn’t work for me since the update. I use this app for drop on rimfire rounds. Since the update the drop charts are now in 100 yard increments instead of 10 yard increments. This makes it unusable for me.

Updated (old profiles Faulty ballistics calc). Update: it seems that this issue only applies to whatever profiles you have remaining from the old version of the app. If you recreate the profile from the scratch - all calcs are correct. So, removing one star for backward compatibility issues, otherwise great app. —- It fails to do the only thing it is intended to be doing - actual ballistics calculation. Using AB Custom Curves gets it all over the place. You can simply select a bullet from collection, set all the data, set zero at whatever distance and then it will show you around .5 - 1 MRAD correction for the same distance as you set zero to. No wind, no nothing.

Easy to use. I’ve used a few different ballistic apps and Applied ballistics is the most accurate with the greates ease of use.

Best ballistics app. This is the best ballistics app out there and worth every penny. While the user interface is a little clunky, it’s still miles above any comparable app. As a hunting guide, I need to have data for each clients gun and ammo available offline. This app makes that easy and convenient with an extensive library of factory loads to choose from. I really like the reticle view feature for being able to show clients exactly what the reticle looks like and where to apply a wind hold. One issue that I’ve found is with importing the local atmospheric conditions. Even with the “Disable Wind Population” turned on (so that the local station values don’t mess up my preferred 10 MPH / 90* wind value), I am still getting local wind populated into my chart and One Shot views, so I have to go back and delete the imported wind and manually enter 10 MPH / 90* winds. Overall, it’s a great tool and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a phone based ballistics calculator.

Doesn’t work. It freezes when importing or exporting profiles. I left my phone for 3 hours and came back, and it still said, "Please wait syncing." I love their podcasts and books, but this app is terrible. It doesn’t update wind with the Kestral and only updates the environment on live mode, but you have to hit the button for each reading. I still can’t get the app to update the wind from the Kestral. Then, solutions never provide the correct data. I have deleted profiles, created them again, deleted the app, and reinstalled them. Until it becomes usable, I will have to stay away.

Completely changed. Tried using this app at a match opened it up and it updated then all my saved info was gone.

Special forces sniper approved!!. This app is advanced for shooters looking to make sub MOA hits at 600 plus yards. This app will only link with the proper AB kestrel. Also, common sense applies with apps. If you update and have crashes you need to delete and reinstall just like any program on windows or apple.... it’s Operating system problems. Every competent special forces sniper has this app as his go-to. Todd has always supplied SOCOM with the best hardware and software for a special forces sniper. He’s personally taken calls from me needing answers for taking 2,000 yard plus shots. I have ballistic AE as well. It’s good generally and has good info but I don’t think the developer is a long range shooter. AB is designed by shooters. There’s a difference in thought process of setting up rifle and kestrel and your ballistics app that makes a same always close the the other apps and return to this for proper data.

Basic features still broken months after release. Still has bugs with basic features months after release. Some inane design choices make it clear they haven't consider how app users and competitors outside of a single type want to use apps. Need to focus on making the app better before adding more devices. Elite subscription is now overpriced with pro being released.

New update. I have been a customer for many, many years. The new update is terrible and very. They need to bring the old version back.

The Best. I use the app for 22 competition out past 500 yards. It does a great job better than any other I have found.

Bbbbbad update. Too bad to comment

Updated Review. I recently purchased a Kestrel 5700 Elite and paired with this app. It has its ups and downs like any other. This is my opinion: LOVE the WEZ feature! As a lifelong shooter being new to long range/precision shooting this is amazing for me to be able to understand the effects that environmental conditions have on shot dispersion. The graphing feature is also pretty handy for comparisons if you like lines better than numbers like me. I will continue to learn and hopefully my skills will increase and show in my scores! I came over from Chairgun Elite which is a great app in itself. The only thing I prefer that over Quantum now is the reticle view. The view in Quantum seems a bit more limited in how it displays information. Again, for experienced wind readers and long range shooters this is fine I’m sure, but for me it’s nice to see distance for each hash based on zoom/turret adjustments. Hopefully the folks at AB can implement something similar in the future, but bottom line is I’m sold and will probably keep paying for the WEZ license at least for the time being even with the Elite license that comes with the 5700.

Ballistic coefficient glitch. I’m on the latest version available 3.2.5. I shoot a 22 WMR using Hornady 30 GR Vmax that has a ballistic coefficient of .95. The app currently will not let you enter anything under .100 . When I enter .95, the app automatically changes the value to .950. This throws the final solution way off.. For now, I have my BC set at .100. Hoping this can get fixed in the near future

Great but needs work. I like AB solvers and use them in several products. This new version of the app was a nice and much needed UI update but there is one extremely annoying quirk they need to fix. In my gun profiles where I have selected a projectile and tweaked the BC to true the data, every time I open the profile it reverts to the default BC number and I always have to readjust it and save before exiting the profile. It needs to be able to retain the inputs.

Wow. The new version of AB is F__KING AMAZING

Latest upgrade data doesn't match existing data. Updated and uninstalled like recommended. Before the update the results were in tune with my coldbore program and my real world data. Since the upgrade the applied solution for my load at 1000m is out by 10moa. I've checked all the parameters and then double checked but can't get the program to match my real world data or coldbore anymore. Wish I never updated it as I used this program a lot.

Couple things. When I enter the environmentals for the bullet zero data. The altitude keeps returning to zero, can't change it. No Kph for wind speed only Mps....please add kph support for the metric guys.

Rubbish. Waste of money Worst app I’ve ever downloaded

Supposed to be the best and I disagree. Not that great and requires in app purchases just to get the custom drag curves. Which is the whole point of the app really. Most expensive app for ballistics and then on top of it requires you to buy every single custom drag curve for the bullets you want. What a joke. No thanks I’ll stick with g7 curves on other apps or a kestrel with its ballistics.

Distance. When you go to a metric system it does not show the break down in in didstance

Not that useful. So after upgrading to AB Quantum I was disappointed to find that no Nightforce reticles other than Horus are available. So that’s all my scopes out of the picture. The Bluetooth connection fails to find my Kestrel 5700 elite but thinks my LG tv is a rangefinder. I’m using the app on an IPhone 15 Pro with iOS 18.1.1 Not what I’d consider a “Quantum” upgrade.

Applied Ballistic app. After many years of shooting and using multiple platforms of phones. This app has always proved a 5 star rating. When it has counted I have been able to make long range first round hits . But like anything rubbish in = rubbish out. If u take the time to set this up you will need no other app . I recommend this app to my mates over all others.

Reasonable Program but has major bugs. I purchased this program to use to calculate ballistics out to ranges of 1500yds. I live in Australia and no matter what I do, after I set my unit preferences then enable atmosphere and sync to station it changes my units from imperial to metric. I use imperial units while shooting and I find this to be that much of a hassle I now don't use the program. Applied Ballistics needs to fix this problem

Nothing good except the trajectory validation. The most basic feature of range card is missing! You can’t input multiple distances for a match. Only a few reticles available! Doesn’t allow the users to fully customise the units. (e.g. I can’t have speed in fps while the others in metric units) I only want mil and clicks in the hud, but it forces me to see MOA and IPHY! You can’t save a default distance or target. Every time you open it, it will automatically input 1000yards!

The older pre “quantum” version was better. The older pre “quantum” version was better

Traduction en français. Vidéo tutoriel français

Good potential, improvement needed!. This app has several bugs that need to be addressed. Fortunately, the producers respond rapidly to the critics. Something really missing is a tutor section that may help in using the different options. The price is really ridiculous and embarrassing!

Create Flight Path. This app is OK, but has the potential to be the best. LE and Military rely heavily on flight path (cm or inches) as well as the Max Ordinate of a round. These aspects are referred to monthly at the range. Without these additions, most members will continue to use the free or less expensive apps to get that information, despite a slightly less effective ballistic calculator.

Doesn’t work anymore. Used to work but must not be updated. Just kicks you out. No mas. No star here. I got the books and the app. Deserve better.

AB Quantum. Is there a way to change the altitude? It’s reading a thousand meters short

Very poor app. Good concept but to many bugs. Since the last update there is more bugs making the app useless. Waitin since3 week for an new update to fix these bugs

Not bad. Not the easiest to navigate. Spend more time trying how to do things than actually using it. Never did figure out how to build a range card. Not sure if it’s just not an option or if it’s hidden in some hard to find menu. Does the job but there’s better apps out there.

Not working with latest updates. Can not enter the fields on iPhone XR since last update. Please fix and make it a 5 star app again.

Indispensable. Je vous le recommande

Needs to be fixed!!!!. Wind speed input is buggy. No matter what you do the number exponentially increases thus rendering a $30 dollar app useless. Please fix!!!

Out of date for modern iPhones. Would expect for the price tag that the app would be up to date for modern iPhone designs.

A User menu!. Would be intuitive with a user menu page! “Tidbits” of useful information would make it more beneficial! “Old grey”.

Over priced and buggy. This app is way over priced plus it don't work properly , I contacted the litz team and asked for a refund and they sent me an email giving me a temporary fix and told me to wait for an update after paying 42$ Canadian . I been getting wrong ballistic solution for both my 308 and 243 by about a 10 MOA error . Kind of disappointed thinking I'd get something more form applied ballistics app , I have shooter and isnipe and they work fine , I should have saved my 42 $ and stuck with isnipe . This app cannot be trusted in the field , I'm sure they will fix the issue with an update but again after paying 42$ it should be working right now .

Add Reticle. Can you please add the vortex BDC reticle.

Not for IPad. Works ok on iphone.

Great App. Has some good features not found in any other external ballistic calculator, but still has bugs. The major one is that it crashes when trying to use the Ballistic Calibration feature. I have written to the developer about it but have not received a reply yet. Update: the Ballistic Calibration feature works now.

Disappointed with Subscription. I bought this before it was free, partially because of the one time lifetime purchase. I have been grandfathered into an Elite subscription. However, now there is also a Pro subscription which has more features but with no reasonable way to upgrade as upgrading from elite to pro costs the same as from free to pro. If this is ever resolved I will change my review as overall the application is quite solid. AB lost a lot of competition since Strelok got removed from app/google store. Very little reason to pay if you have access to Strelok. No vortex reticles is disappointing but I understand it’s somewhat out of their control.

Look angle. The look angle function has a problem. And it should be great to have metric environnement units and be able to use miles/h for the wind.

Review of Applied Ballistics Mobile App. I have found that support, setup, and use of this ballistics APP has been exceptionally well done. So far it has been simple to load the data, and checking by shooting after entering the data allows for straightforward calibrations. Fast to use in the field, and for my rifles it has been spot on.

No stars. Horrible.. I have shooter. Ballistic. Bullet flight etc. they all work as advertised. I wanted ab to look how crosswind jump affects impacts at longer ranges. I've never rated an app or left a review but this app is terrible So it needed one. I triple checked my inputs into ab, and still couldn't find why it's outputs were so far off. It doesn't even come close to matching my other programs which have been confirmed by shooting in he field. It has a few bugs where it would freeze and need to be restarted, but mostly it's just a faulty app. Unfortunate because the ab kestrels are widely respected.

Crash after crash.... I might as well have thrown $29 out the window. This app simply has bugs out the wazoo. Very disappointing. Mr Litz this app needs fixing, your name is associated with it!

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 $

James. No more support to fix bugs . Do not buy

Love this Ap - problems solved. This is a great tool for anyone interested in long-range shooting.

Constant Crashing. The app crashed every time I try to use it. I’ll try over and over and over, and the app crashed consistently.

Unreliable. This app has failed every turn of the corner. Especially on the day I'm at a freaking PRS Match. Waste of my money.

Clean Install - New Version Works Great. Works great after the update, it is best to do a clean install.

No longer works. I just performed the latest update (10.2.1) and this app no longer works. You can change data but when you try and calculate a solution, the app quits. Please fix asap

Bob E. 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!

BC can't be loaded. With this new update I'm not able to load any BC.

Can't manually add bullets. The manually add feature for bullets does not work and the bc cannot be edited for existing loads.

App. Not too stoked on this app Wasted 30 bucks. Would not recommend. Can't give less than 1 star or I would.

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.

Not impressed with interface. Compared to the android version the iOS one is horrible.. There doesn't seems to be support for larger screen iPhone like the iPhone x. When using CMD charts everything is crammed together unlike on Android. Can development please advise when this will be fixed and when support will be built in for the iPhoneX? There is already a new generation iPhone on the way and you still don't support the current version? For the price you pay and for something that litz gave his stamp of approval I expected more. Also try and reply to reviewers, your rating on this app is terrible..

Updated needed.... 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.

Crashes constantly. I am not the only user having this problem. This makes this app expensive junk. I have contacted the developer about this failure and Apple does not care about the customer enough to provide a path to resolution. My only recourse is to post my experience and dissatisfaction on YouTube videos for it.

Attorney and long range shooter.. This app is poor. There are others that are far superior to this app for a lot less money. I shoot .338 Lapua out past 1000 yards and both Shooter and Strelok Pro have proven to calculate accurate firing solutions. I purchased this app only because Bryan Litz' name is associated with it. It is poor! Buy Strelok Pro and don't bother with others unless you're going to spend the money on ATRAG.

Works great. The app has been spot on for me when fed accurate information, out to 1,360 yards. Magneto chrono velocities combined with a kestrel and accurate BC make accurate solutions possible. Everyone says you can't edit velocities etc. you can, simply swipe to left on the load or rifle you wish to edit and you can make any changes you want. I highly recommend this app.

Bad app for iPhone. Should not be sold on the App Store

Ripoff. This a total waste of $30. It doesn't work properly and repeated emails to the company have gone unanswered. Typical ripoff, they just want your money. Apple should kick them off the App Store. Jym Johnson

Can't edit. I give this 3stars because you can't edit or remove old information, other than that it's been great.....lets get on it!!!!

Totally Unusable with Recent Update!! Unusable. You can NOT change or add BC information at all. The app is completely WORTHLESS since this major bug showed up in the most recent update. For a $30 app some one needs to put their "big boy pants" on and fix the bug. Not sure how someone can sleep at night lining their pockets by selling a product that does not work at all. No BC. No calculation. Buy something else.

Great promise but no bug fixes for a long time. New version seems to have removed ability to adjust ballistic coefficient. Not sure what bugs were fixed, but apart from the vanishing BCs, I don't seem much difference. App is good, but still disappointed that Litz' signature application is not being maintained and enhanced to fulfill the original promise. Old review: This a good app. I bought it as an upgrade to Shooter which is allegedly written by the same person. In reality there is presently no major advance over its predecessor. The ballistics modeling is a little more refined but the promised custom drag curves have still not materialized. Many of the features could need a little refinement and there are still quite a few bugs that need to be fixed. Considering this app is branded Applied Ballistics, I was expecting that it would be continuously refined to reflect positively on Mr Litz and his endeavors. I am giving it three stars, since there has been no substantial update for a long time. I am wondering if Mr Litz has given up supporting the iPhone?

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.

Worked on my iPad but now it doesn't. I installed the app on my iPhone and iPad. It worked on both, including websynch, as of yesterday. I used my iPhone at the range today and modified the velocity of the bullet in one of my rifles so I synched it to the web. When I got home I discovered that the iPad version synchs but when I select the bullet it crashes. It does this on every bullet for every rifle. I have yet to figure out how to get the app to pull weather. The selector in the preferences is turned on but nothing ever changes It seems accurate but I've only tested at 100, 200, & 300

Confusing user interface, but it works.. Initially , this app seems to have the most confusing interface that I have ever for a ballistic app, but it actually makes sense once you get se to the work flow. What this app does that many of it’s competitors don’t do is converting the ballistic data into clicks, so instead of figuring out how to dial for example 10.653 MOA, this app will convert the data drop to your scopes turret clicks so you would instead dial up 3.7 clicks of the elevation turret. There’s not a large selection of scopes to choose from if you plan to view hold over conversions on the reticle. There are plenty of other ballistic apps the use mostly the same open source ballistic calculator that are easier to use, have a better interface, are much better organized, and are cheaper and just as accurate.

Only one start because zero isn't an option. Do not buy. They should just refund everyone's money and scrap it. Cannot add manual bullets. Since new 195gr Berger isn't in library you can even use it. Can't edit BCs for library bullets... Not all guns model the same.

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.

UI still needs to be fixed. 3/30/18 updated review. The recent updates solved the calc issues that plagued this app (Yay!) but the UI still need work. On an iPhone 7 Plus, the font size in the rifle and load selection pages is too large and jumbles the text to display too many “...”. Fix the fonts and would easily make this a 4 star + app.

Bad app.. Doesn't work. Crashes. Bad data. No support. Apple should discontinue.

Used to be good, not it doesn't work.. When I bought this app a couple years ago it worked well but needed some features added. Since then most updates have broken base features while attempting to add things like local weather auto populate. Currently Manually added Bullets don't calculate any info, bullet BC editing has multiple issues and updates and customer service are nearly non-existent. I once highly recommended this app but now it is pretty much worthless. Skip it and try another.

Good App and a few tweaks would make it better. Bought this after owning Shooter and studying Bryan's books. My only suggestion for change concerns the moving target feature. Target motion is not accounted for in windage displays on the reticle view. Changing target speed changes 'wind' windage but not target windage. So... a few tweaks are needed. Looking forward to field use with a new 6.5mm rifle.

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.

iPad fail. Ballistics table doesn’t format correctly on iPad.

Excellent app after you spend time and learn it.. When you enter all the correct data it works perfectly.

Not working. Version bugged don't buy

Great App but needs more reticle choices. I have been playing with the app for a few days now and it seems to function as advertised. I'll be testing it out at the range this weekend and will update with field use. I do wish I had known there aren't as many reticles as some other apps have. I shoot a few NF V1000 reticles and would love to see these added.

Beware of other reviews. 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.

Dont. Bought this app out of curiosity. Mildot Ballistic, Ballistic AE and StrelokPro are much better apps with StrelokPro being my favorite because it already has just about any reticule built into the app. Each gives data for your loads that are comparable but with every imaginable scope reticule built into the program makes StrelokPro stand above the others.

Cannot change values without crashing. Anytime a numeric is input to a field (BC, altitude, range etc) and the "done" button is pressed it crashes the app. This needs to be fixed badly. Please update!!

Good info in garbage out. This is the worst ballistics app I have used. Bad info out is an understatement.

Great App. This is a great app however in future updates could you please add a feature to switch ranges to metric. It still gives all the same data however I have to take an additional step of converting yards to meters. Keep up the great work!

Crashes... Looks like a good program, but constantly closes/shuts down. Also would like more reticules.

Nowhere near strelok pro. RIP these sanctions

Skip this and get a kestrel. I've tried using this app and sorta got by but not even close to the kestrel custom curves and truing abilities. Buy the 5700 as its new and just available. iPhone should soon be able to apply custom drag curves. It is easy to use for the beginner but ballistics AE is more refined sure not as user friendly. U can true both if you know your muzzle velocity but not if you are just guessing and want to calc mv

Can’t get charts to email. Paid 30.00 for this because I want to email the drop charts and print them. Cards won’t email and customer support solution was to uninstall and re-install. Did that, lost all my data and still can’t get card to email. Tired of companies like this screwing people. Should probably get an attorney to get everyone’s money back.

No Kestrel Support. Hard to believe that of all the ballistic apps available for iOS (BallisticAE, StrelokPro, BallisticARC, Hornady 4DOF) that the AB Ballistics app still doesn’t support weather from ANY type of handheld meter. The only capability is to get weather data from the nearest weather station which is often times nowhere near correct to your actual shooting conditions. An otherwise OK app, nice to have access to the CDM’s for bullets. Unfortunately I can not recommend this until they support SOME type of weather meter support (Kestrel / Weatherflow) like they do on Android.

Does not work. Changing any value causes the app to crash immediately.

Been waiting awhile.... 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.
