"I shoot on Team Louisiana Precision Rifles in Tactical rifle matches. Everyone on the team that uses Ballistic has had great results. This program has really been a game changer in the precision rifle world." - Bannon (Louisiana)
"Great app. Helped me prepare for my antelope hunt in Wyoming. Having some for dinner tonight at my friend's restaurant. Thanks again." - George (New York)
"I used the data from Ballistic for a cold bore shot at 760 yards and center punched the plate. Sent another right on top of it. Done. No loading hassle or BS, just accuracy!" - Rick (New Mexico)
Ballistic is a highly-accurate ballistic calculator and range companion. With its advanced capabilities, Ballistic can compensate for atmospheric conditions, Coriolis effect, gyroscopic spin drift, and more. It's also much more than an advanced trajectory calculator. With a vast library of nearly 5,000 projectiles and factory loads, rangefinder, and range log, Ballistic is a complete mobile companion for hunting or at the range.
Ballistic's world renowned JBM ballistics engine delivers the gold standard in calculations that other applications compare themselves to.
This is the STANDARD Edition. The ADVANCED Edition also includes: - iPhone internal barometer supported - An advanced head-up display for mounted operation - Advanced wind kit configurable for up to 8 wind sources - Bryan Litz' custom G7 ballistic coefficients - 3D Trajectory imaging for visualizing bullet path - Mil-Dot ballistics head-up display
Standard Edition Features:
- World renowned JBM ballistics engine for the most precise, accurate calculations in the industry. - Load Library: Nearly 5,000 commercial and military projectiles and factory loads from leading manufacturers or specify your own projectile properties. Includes latest commercial data and military coefficients established at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. - iCloud Sync: Sync your favorites, optics profiles & range log to all of your other devices - One-Touch Atmospheric Correction: Instantly adjust your calculations for zero or current atmosphere. Weather updated based on your current location (from a weather service), or enter your own atmospheric values. - Variable (Stepped) BCs: Includes many popular commercial projectiles from select manufacturers, for more precise calculations. - Ballistic Charts: Display a chart of the current projectile including drop, energy, and velocity. Compare wind drift. Compare up to eight projectiles on the same chart. Trajectory charts display the projectile's path across multiple altitudes and angles. Zoom charts up to 300% or save a full size chart to your photo album. - Estimate Distance: Using Mil-Dot or MOA reticle measurements which also supports conversions including inches, centimeters, feet, yards, and meters. - Target Log: Keep a journal of all your hunts, shoots, adjustments, points of impact, and scores. Includes group calculator, integrated score log, multiple target types, and camera and GPS support. Load as a zero atmosphere later in calculations. Generate cold barrel and scoring reports for each rifle. - Angular Acquisition: Aim the device at the target like a remote control, or mount on your weapon to receive real-time angular correction. - Adjustable Units: Elevation and windage output units in inches, centimeters, arcminutes, milliradians, and click values ranging from full click to 1/8 click (or custom click values). - Calculate your own ballistic coefficients based on two chronograph measurements, or data from the back of an ammo box.

8 of 25Used this app for years and it was great for measuring groups and storing load data. Something most other apps don’t have. Then after an update it won’t let me access anything without first/last name and email address. There is NO reason for the app to need this info and it’s impossible to retrieve my stated target and load data without it. This app went from great to garbage in one update. Extremely disappointed. I hope they come to their senses and remove the requirement, until then I would avoid it.
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.
I have been using this app for about 3 years. It has been extremely handy & helpful. I learned a lot about ballistics in general and its effect on my loads w/ different calibers. Unfortunately, because I don't buy the latest iphones and I choose to stay behind the high cost curve, I seem to be a victim of app failure. After a notification of an update, I followed suit and updated. The program now crashes upon attempt to open. There was no warning about incompatibility. I sent a message to the developers, requesting a link to the older version. They insist that they are "not allowed" to offer that, and that Apple "requires" them to only support the latest version of software. I personally doubt this is 100% accurate, since I have other apps that prevent me from updating, due to incompatibility. Nevertheless, this app was great while it lasted (for me). If they'd address this update issue, it would be worth the 5 stars. I am niw forced to look for another app.
App is still buggy despite raising these issues with the developer. I am still having issues with 1. Exporting data via email. 2. Downloading current atmosphere. I'm not the only one. Requests for popular loads such as the Hornady Precision Hunter line and new Hornady ELD and ELD-X have yet to been added. "Obscure" requests like Australian Outback loads have been ignored. When all aspects work correctly it's a great solver, wish it was updated more frequently.
Was a very good app. I had both the standard and paid. Did not use for a while. Went to the field and opened app. It wanted internet connection and email address stuff. BS. No thanks. I am in the field people no internet. Both versions have been deleted now.
I've used this program in shooting high power NRA matches. Once I get my velocities it's a snap to get my dope out to 1000 yards, which is as far as I shoot. I zero at either 100 or 200 yards, load all my data, and create a spreadsheet with the drops, windage, and clicks for the scope I'm using. I've never been off paper using numerous loads and numerous distances. Can't say all the programs I've tried have worked as well.
Lots of caliber's lots of grains etc Really fun app and he visuals are excellent
Far and away my favorite pocket ballistic computer.
