Vihtavuori Reload 12+

Almost the right stuff

I downloaded this app hoping it was the reloading log I was looking for. I familiarized myself with the program and did a test run of loading data. Everything I was looking to record was there including a picture option. I thought this is perfect, I can snap a picture of the range target to refer to at any time. Well, every time I click on the picture options the program kicked me out. So much for an awesome data log.

My Dedicated Load Document

I was very pleased to discover this app...purely by accident. At first, I felt it quite limited, as all the loading tables are for Vihtavuori powders...which isn’t unusual, just a limiting factor. However, as I tested the app furtherI discovered that I could input any powders, bullets, firearms, and so on. It has become my go-to tool for recording my load creation. All of the elements one expects to find in developing and testing a load are there. One can even copy a basic load to make adjustments or refinements, then save that data as a new entry. When I need to remind myself which loads function best in my 92FS, or my Kimber Micro 9 CC, or any other firearm, I can quickly review my notes for the 4 or 5 star ratings, and use that same data, or refine it further.
I encourage any reloader that also carries an iPad, install this app. It is frequently updated, and carries the ability to backup your load data. Very cool, indeed.

Was a great Reloading Log, now anti-user!

Vihtavuori has taken an unfortunate anti-user stance, in preventing the entry of other manufacturers powder. It used to allow this. Now they actively prevent their customers from using the app as their sole reloading journal. I will no longer be using the app, and while I like the powder and happily use it, this unneccisary restriction puts a bad notion of the company in my mind... The “GUNR” app looks promising

I imagine that all Vihtavuori users like their powder, but also use it along with other powders as needed for a variety of reasons. What a terrible customer relations and reloading community action they have taken. Shame on them. It is likely that the community would even pay a one time unlock fee for the feature of entering our own powder data, if V’s ego required it, something reasonable like $0.99 to $5. I hope vihtavuori reconsiders this anti-consumer approach in the future. So I can return to using the useful app.

Disappointed in them.
