Federal wrecked a great app.
     
by Sadgoat · June 27, 2026

This 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…

DO NOT UPDATE!
     
by Pmuglywump · May 15, 2026

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.

Went downhill
     
by Andrew527526 · May 19, 2026

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.

WAS great, now…
     
by GregK Colorado · July 6, 2026

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.

Not good anymore
     
by Txarrowhunter · July 12, 2026

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.

Was a great app until
     
by my name is Katt · May 13, 2026

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.

Federal only now
     
by Foodie1969_123 · May 26, 2026

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

Newest version is a joke
     
by unknown horsesoldier · June 25, 2026

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.
