About this app

State of the art ballistics solver by Bryan Litz, Applied Ballistics. Calculate accurate fire control solutions for long range rifle shooting. Accounts for all major and minor trajectory variables including the use of measured G7 BC's and even the option to use custom drag curves for specific bullets. Output is available in several formats including single shot 'HUD' view, table output, graph output, and the highly effective reticle output view, in which you can see a single shot or trajectory trace in the context of a specific scope reticle which responds to magnification adjustments and 'dialing on' elevation.

Ballistic calibration feature allows user to 'train' the software to match a specific rifle based on observed impacts at long range.

The Applied Ballistics Mobile app is a professional tool intended for the serious long range shooter.

=== Feature List ===

* Advanced Secondary Effect Calculations like Aerodynamic Jump, Coriolis, Spin Drift, and Inclination Angle.

* Firearm/ammo/target organized into savable profiles

* AB Connect™

* Custom drag curves (i.e. rather than using G1 or G7, Applied Ballistics has measured and developed specific drags for specific bullets, no other calculator does this) for over 700 Bullets.

* Load atmospherics based on GPS location and nearest weather station

* Load atmospherics via your Bluetooth-enabled Kestrel 4000 Series, Kestrel 5000 Series, and WeatherFlow Bluetooth Meter.

* Reticle views that support scope magnification levels and accounting for what you've dialed-up on your turret.

* HUD solution view for fast re-calculations for changing target distances, wind and lead

* Doesn't need cell/internet service to run calculations

* Advanced ballistic calibration unlike any other software available to date (aka "truing" or "trajectory validation")

* Distance, look angle, and target azimuth calculator built-in.

* Zero-atmosphere support.

* Support for auto-adjusting muzzle velocity based on powder temperature.

* Graph your bullet's flight with drop/wind graphs. Also compare with other ammo in one graph

* Send trajectory output via email

* "Night" color theme if you prefer the dark-look

Ratings and reviews

This app does not work that well on Android. I took a precision rifle shooting class a few weeks ago and downloaded this because it was recommended by the instructors- come to find out that all the instructors have iPhones. The biggest issue is the zero data. The app automatically inputs altitude, pressure, and temperature for your zero input- so I actually zeroed at 80 degrees, but it won't allow me to edit from 59 degrees. This means when I bring up the ballistic table, my zero isn't zero.

Not being able to save input to cloud and/or not allowing users to transfer inputs to another device is a significant issue...phones don't last long and can die at the worst possible times. I am on my second or 3rd manual reentry. Hours will be spent on this as well as checking outputs. Still being told WebSync is coming back but it has been years. If you buy this write all your inputs down. Otherwise if your phone dies unexpectedly you have nothing. Frankly there are a lot of programs out there now and having recoverable inputs is a feature I would strongly recommend a new buyer consider. Other than that the program has been great.

Not a bad ballistics app and the only one at the time I downloaded it that ha the Horus Tremor 2 reticle. My two frustrations: One, when I've broken my phone the app does not save my data so I have to start from scratch and reenter all my data. Two, I hate that I cannot zoom in on the reticle screen to get a more precise hold picture. I don't need to feature, but my kids and guests need it. Also, I have yet to find my ammo in the ammo library. Other than those issues, great ballistics app.
