Saturday morning I received an email from Curt. I sent an email on Friday evening asking for support. I was having an issue getting the current atmosphere to update. I would still have purchased the iPhone app (because I typically would not take my iPad on a hunt) but I wanted everyone to know about the difference.Дcloin's Review of Ballistic Reviewed on 10/6/18 4:07 PM The iPhone app runs fine on the iPad but it has the typical 1x/2x button that just enlarges a screen designed for the iPhone. There is a separate iPad app that takes proper advantage of the iPadвЂ™s larger screen. HereвЂ™s a heads up about something I did not understand until after the purchase. This is the ultimate irony because, remember, I agonized over the $15.00. As a final note, after learning my way around in Ballistic AE, IвЂ™ve been looking at Kestrel weather meters. The bottom line is: IвЂ™m happy I ponied up the $15.00 and I know this app will give me lots of pleasure. Note: Given my skill level, the differences are academic but for a real contender in 1000 yard competition, those differences become meaningful. Interestingly, the trajectory numbers are slightly different from SpotOnвЂ™s. While IвЂ™ve only been playing with it for a day, I have not yet found a bug (unusual in my experience). All I can say is: Wow! I canвЂ™t imagine a more capable calculator. Finally, I decided to вЂњpull the triggerвЂќ and purchased Ballistic AE. I read the glowing reviews but agonizing over the $15.00 price. Plus, I have Nikon BDC scopes on a couple of my rifles and SpotOn calculates hold-over corresponding to little circles on the reticle.Д«ut. ItвЂ™s a little buggy but it has done what I needed. Prior to now, I have been using the Nikon SpotOn Ballistic calculator. Jccviking's Review of Ballistic Reviewed on 11/16/18 2:07 PM More than I would have expected for the price. Great from beginners to experts, bench shooters to hunters. Highly recommended for anyone shooting long range regardless of experience with ballistic calculators. The other data I pull off my weather apps which have accurate temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure readings.ДЄlso outputs down range velocity and energy for those guys who want to harvest game while their bullet still has a specific amount of foot-pounds to deliver on impact.

but my kestrel was $50 on sale plus a coupon I think I paid $25. This does have the ability to sync with a fancy high dollar kestrel. I believe you can even true your velocity based on the long range drop of your bullet but I havenвЂ™t used that feature yet. Easy to pick a projectile from a list and customize things like ballistic coefficient (a slight overstatement by manufactures do help bullet sales) muzzle velocity (factory loads assign an assumed value for each round but easy to change for how fast it is out of your gun) etc.

You can start including things like spin drift, air density, barometric pressure, multiple wind readings at various ranges, corealis (DonвЂ™t know how to spell that) effect, target speed, etc as you become more comfortable with the app. Select load, zero, max range, sight height, then click вЂњcalculate trajectory. Easy to start with basic settings, essentially a grab and go. Huge database of factory ammo or you can enter data for your hand loads. NateDizo929's Review of Ballistic Reviewed on 2/10/18 11:30 PM This tool should be used when you know you've entered correct data, but the solution Shooter is providing is not matching up to real-world results (which may be due to an incorrect muzzle velocity input).Intuitive and accurate star star star star star Within the Trajectory Table you can invoke the Muzzle Velocity Tool (Velocity Calibration in iOS) which allows you to easily tweak the muzzle velocity and the Trajectory Table will auto-recompute using the new muzzle velocity. His instructions are also much better on using his app. if all you shoot is less then 500, any of these apps will work, but if you shoot 1000y to 2000y, IВ suggestВ it. the 'more' is realyВ gearedВ for LONG range shooting. ДЄfter using it a bit, it looks like for 9.99 it will be the new king, it has most of what FTE and KAC has, and more. this is a MUST read for anyone useing these tools, 'Sources of Ballistic Program Inaccuracies'ДЄlso I see 'Shooter Ballistics' is out for Ipad, Ipod touch and Iphone.
