Ballistic: Standard Edition App Reviews

This is app is only on version 1.0 and already is becoming bloatware... perhaps if you have hours to sit at the range and enter data endlessly, this is the app for you. Future updates look promising, but there seems to be no way to contact the developer of this app, either here on the iTunes Store or on his website (if you could call it that). I would check out other options personally.

Spend about 5 minutes with the application and youll have the hang of it. Spend 20 minutes and youll have it mastered and will be able to dial in critically accurate shots. Trying different box ammo on the range, this is a great application to help you avoid wasting pricey ammo. Its hunting season soon and while at my range I volunteer my time to help sight-in dozens of rifles. Each rifle owner brings his own ammo, which can be a nightmare. With Ballistic, I just punch up the load and Im good to go. No need to re-enter all the weather and distance info, just enter it once, save it, then change the cartridge from rifle to rifle. Slick!!

Very close to real-world conditions. After 600yards, there are variances of course, but you need to confirm your data anyways. I recommend this app for any shooter.

This is an excellent tool for someone selecting a caliber for specific hunting / shooting scenarios. Excellent for comparisons.

there are not very popular calibers: 8x57 and 8x68

Grande. Un database completo e funzionale. Da avere x tutti i tiratori. Aspettiamo "Field Tactical Edition" con gli aggiornamento per armi corte. Great A complete and functional database. A must-have for all shooters. Waiting for "Field Tactical Edition" with upgrades concerning guns.

The custom projectile function is incredible. As we create our new line of .308 JBs, this app hasnt failed us once. The ability to quickly compare our rounds to those currently on the market is extremely useful. Thanks, Z Force

The calculations are spot on if you input your own weather data. The automated weather finder used to work until last fall and now wont work at all. I emailed the support staff over a month ago and they are aware of it but it doesnt look like they are going to fix it. Six months is plenty of time to fix a small bug in the system. And since incorrect weather data will throw the entire calculation off, its pretty much useless u less you have some other source for weather data. Now that you have to pay for the app, I wouldnt buy it.

There is far more information than would be necessary for the average guy using this app for hunting (which I do). I recommend some type of advanced tab when/if someone (a mercenary sniper) wants the full option display. I have a hard time finding many of my ammunition listed and they are not one off companies. I have a hard time finding the actual hornaday ammo I buy in the app. I would love to see a more robust list of ammos.

Does everything you need quickly and easily and allows you to store your trajectory charts. Good list of bullets (or enter your own detail ) and lots of flexibility. Good for everyone from pro long range shooter to a guy sighting in a deer rifle.

This is simply the best ballistic calculator for the iPhone. It actually is as good as the best apps for a desktop computer, and considerably cheaper. Also, author support is terrific. I had a problem with my iPhones location services, and the author got right back to me and showed me where (in Preferences) to get it reset so that the app would read it. (the problem was with my phone and not his app). This is an A+ app.

This program requires you know your bullet diameter and velocity. IT IS NOT CALIBER SPECIFIC. This is not a reloading program, it is an accuracy aid. Second, this program had an intro price if you didnt get it then to bad. If the author later wants to create a seperate version with additional features at a greater cost so be it. If you dont NEED the additional features, what are you whining about? It happens ALL the time with products. Get over it.

You should install that zipper on your mouth, and please leave it zipped.

Updated review. This app is worth more than the cost of all versions combined. Its funny to read negative reviews on here on pricing issues. Its funny because the author didnt like what was available and made his own rather than bellyache about it. Not only does he make a vastly improved version, but makes it better than pro desktop and tac PDA versions Ive used that cost exponentially more. He even listens to shooters on how to improve the app. For all the whinners, make your own or STFU. Now, a real review. This application allows you to take G1 bcs given by manufactures (most of which are already in the expansive library included in the app) and convert to more accurate (IMO) G7 tables. The multiple output choices let you select 1/8 clicks for benchrest scopes and 1/4 clicks for hunting. The new features are very usefull and thus far it has been spot on to 800 yards. The people who havent had this success should really consider the following before writing bad reviews: Is your scope mounted and aligned correctly? Did you have any cant while shooting long distance? Is the internal mechanics of your scope working correctly? Do you use a chrono to measure a good statistical sample speed from the muzzle? And finally when you cant blame anything else, did you check the shooter? Flinch, wrong wind reading, mirage, heavy pull on the trigger (all of mine can be measured in ounces). Look up cats targets by horus. Youd be surprised what some scopes will do out of the box (even the high dollar "tactical" scopes from a company that makes mostly hunting scopes). If after all that the program gives you numbers that are way off (it hasnt for me) then write a bad review

This is a great app to take to the range or field, keeps track of all of your different firearms and loads with the ability for real time corrections. Highly recommend!

Great app at twice the price. Has more features than you can shoot at and a well thought out interface. Bravo

Stop complaining about such a small fee for such a great product. I am buying the tactical version as well. Have any of you bought ammunition lately? $10 is nothing. I will gladly pay the price and save money in the process. And yes this is a real customer. I show off this app all of the time to other serious shooters.

This is a great program ~ it computes data that is spot on out to 1000 yards for my rifle. I could not recommend this program more.

I used this during a basic precision rifle class and it was a great timesaver. The distance calculation made ranging unknown distance targets easy.

Those of us that paid for the original version of Ballistic were very disappointed that the author chose to create a separate versions of the same program requiring one to have to repurchase the program. The author is up to 3 versions of the same sofware all requiring a repurchase. Future upgrades to the program may require one to buy it again so if you buy today you may have to buy the next version just to get the updated features. Buyer beware. The program itself is ok but there are better titles out that guarantee free upgrades and have better customer support and features.
