Great data and Calculations. Horrible app. I’ve used this thing out to 1500 yards in various conditions and calibers. And I’ve always had great results. But holy moly, if I didn’t spend $30 on this app I would have ditched it after the first 2 hours of trying to figure out how to use this thing. If you’re looking for a blast from the past and relive the Gen 1 iPod Touch days, this app is for you. Everyone else, I’d look elsewhere.

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.

No backup. Not having your data backed up when you get a different phone, is a huge bummer.

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.

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.

Very limited firearm, bullet and reticle choices. This app does not list the reticle or even the caliber of my rifle, a 6.5creedmmor. Can’t believe I wasted money on this app. 👎👎👎

Not working. It’s a great app but I haven’t used it for a while and since one of the updates it is pretty much useless, I can’t input any data in most fields right now... hopefully the glitches get worked out because until now it’s been an amazing tool

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.

Remarkable. Spot on for precision rifle work. Highly precise results. Take the time to put in all the data inputs. Use a good chronograph on each shot. Hoping for the tremor 3 reticle to be added. Thank you AB for a great tool.

Clunky. I was sad when my phone was broken and I found out the hard way that Strelock Pro is banned so I went to applied ballistics. While I’m sure Mr. Litz has some great ballistic tables in here, for $30 it’s just not worth it. Super clunky and not intuitive to use. Really just a terrible user interface, and for $30 for an app, this thing should be the bees knees…sad.

Great app, lacks reticles. Throwing a one on this because it’s heartbreaking the lack of reticle choice. Outside of that it’s very utilitarian and I appreciate it. Please update with some primary arms, swamp Fox, etc reticles. Will happily edit.

New Version. I just installed this update, now nothing is accessible in the app. Please fix bug. Thank you. Thanks, now everything is back to normal. I greatly appreciate your super quick response.

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.

I’m sorry I have to give a one star review. I love all things long range shooting, I want to say that first. I was looking for a ballistic calculator that would show a separate column for Coriolis, the description made it sound like this iPad that. The ballistic drop down columns don’t lineup on the iPad format. And Coriolis is Selectable, but the offset is not displayed separately so you can’t distinguish what’s Coriolis vs Spindrift vs Wind. So the apps not really give me what I’m looking for. The interface is kind of awkward also. Some of the free calculators are better. I wanted this to be great. I can’t help but feel that this is just trying to get people to buy the $200 analytics package which I’m not going to do.

It works.. on an iPhone. Works great once you set it up correctly, could use a the updated reticules from vortex and a patch for use on an iPad... seriously make a patch for the iPad mini and it would be 100% and get s 5 star review from me

Good data in bad data out. I just downloaded the app and found a problem. Built my rifle profile. They didn’t have an MOA scope only specific models. Build my bullet data. For some reason when I look at the ballistics and graph my bullet MV starts 1000fps faster than it actually is. That’s going to make for some horrible data. I already had the Hornady BC but I liked the graphs and charts in this one. We will see.

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.

Do not get for iPad at this time. I love the app, this is my go to ballistic solver. It is a bit more unfriendly than some easier to use apps. I use it on my iPhone with no problem however when I try and use it on my IPad (which would be preferred) the screens do not format properly. For an app of this price, from an outfit as prestigious as AB, it should at least be coded correctly

The most accurate external ballistics app for iOS. Works great on an iPhone. iPad, not so much. Mostly GUI and table glitches that are substantial.

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.

Used to be a great tool!. Sorry, but I loved the oringinal version. I have to rate this new version a 2 as it doesn't have a way to backup and restore dope. I saw notes posted 7/18 that is was not ready for public, and there is no way to manually export and store data. I lost all my dope when my phone was damaged. If you provide a way to backup and restore data again... I would rate this 5 stars.

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.

Almost perfect. Not for beginners. You just need to learn the ballistics basis, own a good chronograph and you should be able to make it to 1000+ yards with good ammo. It’s not always 100% accurate with factory ammo, but that’s understandable and once you make the right corrections, it’s good to go. A must have for long range shooters if you want to save yourself bunch of wasted ammo just trying to get on paper.

New update. Since the new update the HUD is having issues when you adjust the distance, wind, or direction with the arrows. The solutions adjust but you don’t know how much you adjusted them. The only way is to directly type in distance, wind, and wind direction. Please take the time to update this as it’s becoming very frustrating. Thank you.

Much better after update. The recent fix allows editing of parameters again and makes it a useful and intuitive program.

No Bluetooth. Bought this to test ballistic solvers and this is the only one that does not let you connect to your Kestrel or weatherflow via Bluetooth. I had high hopes for this app and asked AB if they were going to update the app to connect to Kestrels or WeatherFlows and they have ignored me each time I’ve asked. I cannot recommend this app for what you pay for it. Save your $30.

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.

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

Update the UI and UX. Seriously, the UI looks like something from the dial up internet era and very unintuitive UX.

It’s ok but not great.. I expect more from the guys at AB. The UI is soso, swiping is not intuitive to make edits or open up options. Typically a “…” would make more sense to open options. Hitting the “share” icon to open up and manage options at the Home Screen is also not very well done. And lastly and perhaps the biggest issue is the fact that this DOES NOT connect to a Kestrel AT ALL! Geo Ballistics is far better designed and user friendly than this. The firing solutions aren’t ABs but they are good enough.

(former) USMC STA Platoon APPROVED. Outstanding app, nothing more needs to be said! With that said, lol, TReMor3 and MSR would be nice to have included someday (however you can always make it work with the 2 and the basic duplex MRAD).

Has become useless to me.... Using this app from iPhone x.. I cannot even use this app, because after putting all my info into the App, i get impossible firing solutions. If i could get my money back i would...only way to get it to work is to delete and re install, then it works for a while. I don't have this prob with my other ballistics app.

Will not read kestrel 5500. Love the app but I have to manually enter the weather from my kestrel 5500. StrelokPro pro loads it very fast. Pretty disappointing for 30 bucks. Absolutely no info in the web to solve this issue. All you get is info about the 5700. Save your money and get StrelokPro or even ballisticsarc.

Reticle. Bought the app and noticed it didn’t have the reticle I currently have is there anyway to get the EBR-2C FFP reticle on the list?

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

Great author; program in iphone/ipad pretty sorry. It is very easy to lose your data. Ridiculous. Does not update from iPhone to iPad. Strike two. There are issues on the iPad display regarding the drop charts (which sometimes present as a garbled mess, with numbers appearing on top of other numbers). The column headers are not even placed over the appropriate columns at times, making it slmost impossible to use them. Sorry developers I guess. I wish I knew and appreciated all these issues with the AB App before I got it. There really is no excuse for any of these things. It does work, though. YMMV of course.

Best ballistics app available WHEN it’s working. For the entirety of my deer hunt (most of which is in cell range where I have LTE) I haven’t been able to load atmosphere for my location because the app won’t load it. When it’s working, the calculations are dead nuts perfect, but when my target is further than my kestrel is good for, I can’t dial in well enough to get a hit. (My kestrel is the cheaper model, so I can’t get out past 1000 with it).

Many hours of use. I have been using this since it came out. Two issues, PRS surveyed the top shooters and a majority use the Vortex Razor HD with EBR reticles then why not add this to the library?? Also add an option to either use look angle or cosine. Most do not want to use the phones gyroscope as their indicator so allow the shooters with expensive tools use them with your app. The last time I use look angle it freaked out and kept prompting an error and had to be hard reset.

Needs a lot of work. An update caused the app to crash whenever I would try display any of my previously saved load data. If I recreate the load it will work fine but all of my previously saved data was useless. Also recently had to backup and restore my phone and now all of my saved data is gone. This app used to have a cloud sync feature but it’s nowhere to be found now. Guess I get to start over.

Good information, bad app. The information is great, the app is total trash. Not overly user friendly. You cannot customize or organize your chart table. For being a $30 app, you would expect more. StrelockPro is significantly better.

Not bad. Now that the app has been updated and supports CDMs it’s actually pretty good. I haven’t noticed any problems so far and the only feedback I have is just feature suggestions. Mainly I’d like to see it work with my AB kestrel as an alternative to the Kestrel Ballistics app. Since I already have the CDM library on it, it’d be great to be able to transfer profiles back and forth and have this AB app talk to the Kestrel for atmospherics. Other then that, this version is a great improvement

Wasted $30. App is poorly designed and library has just a fraction of bullets compared to other ballistic apps. There was a “timer” button that I hit any my phone would not stop vibrating. Absolutely horrible. I had to delete the app to stop the vibrating. Can I get a refund?

Unusable chart for iPad. Very comprehensive. Has everything you need for competitive shooting. The solution chart is unusable because it cuts off the distances in the display.

Ancient Interface, What are they thinking??. AB has a great name, great books, great book author. Terrible program due to its antiquated interface. This is 2022, iPhone 13, and the interface feels like something from iPhone 3. And I paid $40-ish dollars!!!!! (app plus custom drag model for .264). Honestly I haven’t found a good Ballistics app that I really like….some come close like StrelokPro (a strange UI but still okay) and SBC light (needs updated databases for reticle and ammo). I had such high expectation for AB. Very upset I spent money on this.

No support. Very disappointed with app support. I have been unable to input any data. Emailed twice asking for help with no response. Even a reply with something like we’re working on it would be nice. I guess I expect to much from a $30 app.

Nowhere near strelok pro. RIP these sanctions

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.

AB fixed the latest field editing bug in 24 hours. Developer fixed the field editing bug and all is good again. Thanks for the quick fix!

Lacking many scope reticles. Disappointed that I paid so much for an app that gives you very little options, when it comes to scope reticles. There are other apps out there that are far ahead of this one when it comes to getting the most up to date Information. Applied Ballistics needs to get with the game and start updating reticles and release an update soon!

Does Not Work on My iPhone. The title says it all. I put in a data and get a blank screen. I guess I will continue to use Shooter.

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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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!!!

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.

Cannot be trusted. The software ver 2.4.20 is fraught with errors and produces erroneous solutions. I contacted AB and they said they were aware of the problem. But, it is almost a year later and they havent updated the software with corrections. I want a refund.

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!

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.

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

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.

Not for IPad. Works ok on iphone.

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.

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.

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.

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

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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!!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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..

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Not working. Version bugged don't buy

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 $

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.

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.

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.
