Will be great for most

Perfect for Hunters! This is the easiest, quickest app for in-the-field hunting applications. The ability to quickly pull up ballistic data for live targets is the most important factor while hunting. That is where this app excels. The developer also does a great job of updating and tweaking this app. With so many new shooters in the past year, this app’s popularity is sure to grow. Where this app could be improved: G7 data (as mentioned by nearly everyone)! Also would be great to add a scope correction factor input for inputting data obtained during a Tall Target test. Would also very much like to see rifle inputs (barrel length, twist rate) and an in-app tutorial. If it had these it would be perfect! As is, This is still my preferred app for hunting. BTW - lack of G7 data and other inputs can be overcome by truing the app to observed data from shooting. Lots of good videos out there on this and should be done regardless of the ballistic solver ur using.

I really really enjoy the app but it’s got it’s issues

I’ve used this app on and off for a few years. I enjoy everything about it function wise. Biggest issue is sometime the app get hard locked out so it’ll crash any time I open it. I haven’t been able to figure out what causes this but it can be extremely annoying to lose all my data and then have to re enter it. Would also like to see more Schmidt reticles like the MDRT6.

July 2020: SBC Ballistic Top Rated Excellent App

Yes, this is related to all Snipers out there, it is the most accurate ballistic apps with huge ammunition data library that you can use to create your personal ballistic data which includes muzzle velocity, muzzle energy, ballistic coefficient, distance, wind speed & direction, weapon sight height, and weather condition, etc.Also includes different scopes brand either FIrst Focal Plane, Second Focal Plane, and showing many target selection with POI indicator of elevation and windage for adjustment correction needed for that range distance.The rest of ballistic apps I purchased and used that you may compare next leading are Mil-Dot Ballistic, iSnipe, Ballistic AE, StrelokPro, and the worst more expensive Applied Ballistic.By: USMC Sergeant, Sniper, Rifle Expert- 4th Award, Pistol Expert- 3rd Award

Environmental variables do not work

My main gripe with this app is that changing the temperature and pressure do not work properly. Pressure changes don’t seem to give any difference in firing solution. Temperature changes shows a minimal effect on trajectory and in the opposite direction of reality. If you hold muzzle velocity, pressure, and other environmental variables constant, a colder temp should result in more drop at a given range due to more dense air. This app actually shows less drop at 0F than 100F. Also, the watch app can only adjust the temperature up to 70F. You can get around the 70F limitation by entering temp in degrees C but the formulas that calculate the effect on bullet trajectory are still wrong. This app does seem to account for elevation changes. If you are a hunter that is going to be taking shots inside of 500 yards and able to verify dope in similar weather conditions to your hunt, the ability to have this on your watch can be of use. If you are shooting longer ranges and need to make a first round hit, use AB on your phone.For a given load,AB 70F 1000 yard = drop of 12 MILSBC 70F 1000 yard = drop 12 MILAB 0F 1000 yard = drop 13.2 MILSBC 0F 1000 yard = drop 11.9 MILAB 28.0 inHg 1000 yard = 11.4 MILSBC 28.0 inHg 1000 yard = 12.0 MILAB 31.0 inHg 1000 yard = 12.4 MILSBC 31.0 inHg 1000 yard = 12.0 MIL
