8 of 25This was a great app until Federal bought it out. Excellent bullet library reduced to a handful of their own products now makes it almost useless. They also call G7 values G2 which is wrong and confusing. Look elsewhere…
Just updated and lost 80% + the projectile library. No Hornady, no Winchester, nothing but ONLY Federal, Speer and Remington. Also the support email is a dead link. This app is garbage now.
Used to be really good, got broken by some update along the way. Not fixed by latest update. Selecting projectiles and cartridges is completely trash now.
Used the paid Advanced version for long time. Now, bummer… most of the loads have disappeared. And, the contact email address is invalid, same with the “send us a message” link in app and the website. When selecting the G7 drag profile, it displays it as “G2” elsewhere within app views.
No longer supports the large bullet selection it had before. Many options have been removed with the new update. Use Hornady app if you want variety with most brands/projectiles etc.
I purchased the Advanced Edition in 2009 and had good success with it. The last update removed the Kestrel Link option. I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it with no luck. Sent an email to support with a message return saying Emil doesn’t exist.
Seems the entire bullet library is gone and I only see federal owned now and it says sponsored by federal or the like on login now. Do believe I paid $20 for this long ago and always spoke highly of it but will have to replace with a new app now
This used to be the best ballistic app on the market with 1000s of bullets in the database. Now the database only has the bullets made by Federal or its other brands.
