Ratings and reviews

I tried many ballistics apps before settling on this. This one is a performant, no account required, no BS calculator that allows you to have 4 profiles or if you need more you can export your active ones to a file and then reimport them later. The information density is exactly what I want, the granular control of units is great (but kph wind would be nice), the ammo library is surprisingly good (but custom is easy too) and it works without trying to empty your wallet. A highly underrated app.

Edit: Bugs squashed, app working again! Quite disappointed that Android functionality not up to iPhone's level yet. Setting the muzzle velocity up causes the app to crash. Thus can't use the app yet. When this works again, I'd be happy to give a better review. Kindly also correct the spelling of "meters" (Afrikaans) to "metres" (English). Looking forward to the updates!

When I connect the Hyper-7 to ballistic App in my Android device, I receive a prompt to update the firmware. However, each time I select the update option, the app crashes. On the other hand, when I connect the Hyper-7 to ballistic App in my iPad (iOS), the firmware upgrade message does not appear at all.
