Ballistic: Standard Edition for Negative User Reviews

✓ The Black SheepThis is an excellent app for Reloaders and Target shooters. It has a comprehensive projectile and factory load database. The controls are easy to use and almost everything can be customized. The range log is great for target logging. This app is severly limited for tactical and hunting use. The rangefinder only supports standard mil-dot reticles. The HUD does not display true click values, it adds a decimal place. If you are looking for a field ranging and solutions app there are better options out there..MTBlackSheepVersion: 3.7.1

✓ Something wrong.Entered my usual .308 load at 2900fps and it now tells me that there is only 1moa drop from 100 to 1200 yds! Also, the new HUD doesn't seem to work at all..Silver fox 123Version: 3.4.0

✓ Bugs and lack of updates, support requestsApp is still buggy despite raising these issues with the developer. I am still having issues with 1. Exporting data via email. 2. Downloading current atmosphere. I'm not the only one. Requests for popular loads such as the Hornady Precision Hunter line and new Hornady ELD and ELD-X have yet to been added. "Obscure" requests like Australian Outback loads have been ignored. When all aspects work correctly it's a great solver, wish it was updated more frequently..NutmasterVersion: 6.2.2

✓ Privacy insultHad the app for years, and AFTERWARDS changes their policy and THEN requires name and email addy or he won’t let you use it. Absolutely no reason other than to sell the info. Go your app elsewhere, not from this person!.MoneywomanVersion: 6.5.3

✓ Was a very good appWas a very good app. I had both the standard and paid. Did not use for a while. Went to the field and opened app. It wanted internet connection and email address stuff. BS. No thanks. I am in the field people no internet. Both versions have been deleted now..SickMonkey24Version: 6.5.3

✓ Changed ReviewI originally had this program a solid 5 stars. Then the author did the unthinkable. He created a NEW program which should have just been an upgrade and is charging twice as much for it. Completely lame. This is the same author who sold his original program based on very negative critism of another online ballistic program. News flash to this program author. At least the other program author is not trying to rip people off. What's the sense of buying a great program if the author is unscrupulous?.RotopopVersion: 0

✓ Support stinksThe calculations are spot on if you input your own weather data. The automated weather finder used to work until last fall and now won't work at all. I emailed the support staff over a month ago and they are aware of it but it doesn't look like they are going to fix it. Six months is plenty of time to fix a small bug in the system. And since incorrect weather data will throw the entire calculation off, it's pretty much useless u less you have some other source for weather data. Now that you have to pay for the app, I wouldn't buy it..UkelkVersion: 6.1.0

✓ Edited: Poor Upgrade Policy (BEWARE)Those of us that paid for the original version of Ballistic were very disappointed that the author chose to create a separate versions of the same program requiring one to have to repurchase the program. The author is up to 3 versions of the same sofware all requiring a repurchase. Future upgrades to the program may require one to buy it again so if you buy today you may have to buy the next version just to get the updated features. Buyer beware. The program itself is ok but there are better titles out that guarantee free upgrades and have better customer support and features..LEO_TacticalVersion: 0

✓ Have to pay separately for iPadMost apps are available on your iPhone and iPad. While you can use the iPhone version on half resolution you have to pay for the iPad version. For what it costs and the fact it's all available on the JBM website that's a disgrace. Additionally, rather than releasing a version with updated features, this app is demanding in-app purchases. Man up developer. Quit being greedy..FrwbxhyVersion: 3.3.0

✓ Not cool...This is a really nice app, and does a great job from a ballistic calculation perspective....but....honestly, the new "tactical" edition should have been part of a free upgrade for those who already paid for the original version. Making us pay again for a fresh new app is pretty lame. Nice app and well worth the money compared to other PDA apps (i.e.- non iPhone) but the developers strategy is a little shady....Phant0m_jesterVersion: 0

✓ Was great, now wants unnecessary private infoUsed this app for years and it was great for measuring groups and storing load data. Something most other apps don’t have. Then after an update it won’t let me access anything without first/last name and email address. There is NO reason for the app to need this info and it’s impossible to retrieve my stated target and load data without it. This app went from great to garbage in one update. Extremely disappointed. I hope they come to their senses and remove the requirement, until then I would avoid it..Younggun84Version: 6.5.3

✓ So So...This is app is only on version 1.0 and already is becoming bloatware... perhaps if you have hours to sit at the range and enter data endlessly, this is the app for you. Future updates look promising, but there seems to be no way to contact the developer of this app, either here on the iTunes Store or on his website (if you could call it that). I would check out other options personally..BcodeVersion: 0

✓ Waste of money (in comparison)Now that there is the "tactical" version available, and the price went up onthis version, this one has become redundant, and far less of a value. For under 500 yards, where the details like atmosphere are less important, I would use iSnipe, as it is simple, and cheaper, but gets the job done for short/med ranges. This one has become a ripoff at it's new price, and having to buy a more expensive version with the same features AGAIN if you want an upgrade. Also, yoy cant zoom in on the charts (very small print/lines), you can't compare velocities or energy - only drop, and it resets to defaults and makes you re-find and re-enter everything everytime you close it. Hold out for iXbal! Note: for all those who compare this to the cost of a gun or ammo - with that argument, it should be in the hundreds of dollars, right? WRONG! It's a program with a simple premise that was created with certain intentions. Those were cast aside with total disdain for its users in the greed that followed. Now it's getting a bad rap. Fair enough. Remember - if you kill the golden goose, no more golden eggs. Screwing over the users out of greed is destined to kill the golden goose. I can no longer recommend the program on the basis of business ethics, and hopefully the money flow to the developer suffers accordingly..CttdFlyerVersion: 0

✓ Slow to updateOwner of app is slow to add new projectiles..96gsxrVersion: 6.5.3

✓ Requires full name and email to useSorry, not going to provide my name and email when not part of necessary functionality of an app. Don’t trust most developers with personally identifying information. I’d prefer an anonymized Apple email / ID option..Kristof WilliamsonVersion: 6.5.3
