Ratings and Reviews
Best One, All Things Considered
Pros-
-Its simple. Has just what you need without being overcomplicated
-Its free. There is a tip jar (which I used) but its voluntary
-No data mining. Data policy is no collection
-Obvious small developer. Its clear that this was made by a shooter for shooters, not developed to extract money. Thank you!
Cons-
-Only one, limited support. I get it. Anyone who uses this app should get it. It was a gift to us more than a transaction. This guy undoubtedly has a regular job and this was a side hobby. He may well have lost interest, especially after reading some negative reviews. BUT…if he took a few minutes to update his email address and fix the ‘setup delete’ bug, all of his users would be very grateful Im sure. And retract negative comments, right guys? (Hint) Sifting through samples and mistakes is pretty annoying.
Summary.
Its not perfect but it has what I wanted and I like it. It just needs a few hours of polish to be perfect. I cant see using a subscription app when this is available and easier to use. And I always appreciate apps that aren’t corpo data miners or expensive subscription based.
Use of the ballistic table
Okay the ballistic table is fairly accurate if you have the information accurate when putting it in. It diffidently gets you close to the area you’re aiming at.
The one issue with the app you can’t delete loads after saving it. So, after a while your app is filled with several loads that aren’t useful any longer.
It’s lacking one thing
Don’t get me wrong this is by far the best app out there to calculate your ballistics at long range but the one thing I wish it had that it doesn’t is a small notes section in each file that way I can keep track of the powder loads and other various notes to shoot better with each individual round.
