Applied Ballistics for Negative User Reviews
✓ ReticleBought the app and noticed it didn’t have the reticle I currently have is there anyway to get the EBR-2C FFP reticle on the list?.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Out of date for modern iPhonesWould expect for the price tag that the app would be up to date for modern iPhone designs..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Good potential, improvement needed!This app has several bugs that need to be addressed. Fortunately, the producers respond rapidly to the critics. Something really missing is a tutor section that may help in using the different options. The price is really ridiculous and embarrassing!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Ancient Interface, What are they thinking??AB has a great name, great books, great book author. Terrible program due to its antiquated interface. This is 2022, iPhone 13, and the interface feels like something from iPhone 3. And I paid $40-ish dollars!!!!! (app plus custom drag model for .264). Honestly I haven’t found a good Ballistics app that I really like….some come close like StrelokPro (a strange UI but still okay) and SBC light (needs updated databases for reticle and ammo). I had such high expectation for AB. Very upset I spent money on this..Version: 2.4.20
✓ Do not get for iPad at this timeI love the app, this is my go to ballistic solver. It is a bit more unfriendly than some easier to use apps. I use it on my iPhone with no problem however when I try and use it on my IPad (which would be preferred) the screens do not format properly. For an app of this price, from an outfit as prestigious as AB, it should at least be coded correctly.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Great author; program in iphone/ipad pretty sorryIt is very easy to lose your data. Ridiculous. Does not update from iPhone to iPad. Strike two. There are issues on the iPad display regarding the drop charts (which sometimes present as a garbled mess, with numbers appearing on top of other numbers). The column headers are not even placed over the appropriate columns at times, making it slmost impossible to use them. Sorry developers I guess. I wish I knew and appreciated all these issues with the AB App before I got it. There really is no excuse for any of these things. It does work, though. YMMV of course..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Great data and Calculations. Horrible appI’ve used this thing out to 1500 yards in various conditions and calibers. And I’ve always had great results. But holy moly, if I didn’t spend $30 on this app I would have ditched it after the first 2 hours of trying to figure out how to use this thing. If you’re looking for a blast from the past and relive the Gen 1 iPod Touch days, this app is for you. Everyone else, I’d look elsewhere..Version: 2.4.24
✓ Wasted $30App is poorly designed and library has just a fraction of bullets compared to other ballistic apps. There was a “timer” button that I hit any my phone would not stop vibrating. Absolutely horrible. I had to delete the app to stop the vibrating. Can I get a refund?.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Latest upgrade data doesn't match existing dataUpdated and uninstalled like recommended. Before the update the results were in tune with my coldbore program and my real world data. Since the upgrade the applied solution for my load at 1000m is out by 10moa. I've checked all the parameters and then double checked but can't get the program to match my real world data or coldbore anymore. Wish I never updated it as I used this program a lot..Version: 1.48
✓ Very limited firearm, bullet and reticle choicesThis app does not list the reticle or even the caliber of my rifle, a 6.5creedmmor. Can’t believe I wasted money on this app. 👎👎👎.Version: 2.4.24
✓ Not working with latest updatesCan not enter the fields on iPhone XR since last update. Please fix and make it a 5 star app again..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Not optimised, feels outdatedTotally unintuitive, graphics look like they’re meant for iPhone 4, should have preset rifle data for £28.99! Wish I hadn’t bought this. It’s ugly, lacks direction, lacks presets for rifles, costs a lot for very little..Version: 2.0.2
✓ RubbishWaste of money Worst app I’ve ever downloaded.Version: 2.4.24
✓ Save your money, don’t bother!Awful, outdated app. Total waste of money. I paid the expensive £28 to gain access to the custom drag profiles, however they are an additional in app purchase. Total rip off. Keep with StrelokPro. Shame on you Bryan Litz.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Good data in bad data outI just downloaded the app and found a problem. Built my rifle profile. They didn’t have an MOA scope only specific models. Build my bullet data. For some reason when I look at the ballistics and graph my bullet MV starts 1000fps faster than it actually is. That’s going to make for some horrible data. I already had the Hornady BC but I liked the graphs and charts in this one. We will see..Version: 2.1.4
✓ It’s ok but not great.I expect more from the guys at AB. The UI is soso, swiping is not intuitive to make edits or open up options. Typically a “…” would make more sense to open options. Hitting the “share” icon to open up and manage options at the Home Screen is also not very well done. And lastly and perhaps the biggest issue is the fact that this DOES NOT connect to a Kestrel AT ALL! Geo Ballistics is far better designed and user friendly than this. The firing solutions aren’t ABs but they are good enough..Version: 2.4.24
✓ Good but not a well polished app.Has the foundation needed by a good solid app. But needs far more work. E.g. When entering data, don't make any mistakes, as there's no obvious way of deleting or changing the created entries. Settings are to generalised so don't have much control about mixing/matching say imperial/metric. When creating an entry, you don't get much by way of help to understanding what a given setting does. Will keep my eyes open for upgrades, but for the time being iSnipe is my app of choice. It also supporting Litz's good work. But without the hefty price tag..Version: 1.0.1
✓ DisappointingReally disappointed with this app. Have been using it for a couple of years. Doesn’t have the same menu as the user guide. I can’t pair my weatherflow, there’s not even the option in the menu. I asked the developer before purchasing if my phones barometer would work in the app. I was told it would. It doesn’t. There’s not even an option to select it. There are better apps out there for less money..Version: 2.0.3
✓ I’m sorry I have to give a one star reviewI love all things long range shooting, I want to say that first. I was looking for a ballistic calculator that would show a separate column for Coriolis, the description made it sound like this iPad that. The ballistic drop down columns don’t lineup on the iPad format. And Coriolis is Selectable, but the offset is not displayed separately so you can’t distinguish what’s Coriolis vs Spindrift vs Wind. So the apps not really give me what I’m looking for. The interface is kind of awkward also. Some of the free calculators are better. I wanted this to be great. I can’t help but feel that this is just trying to get people to buy the $200 analytics package which I’m not going to do..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Used to be a great tool!Sorry, but I loved the oringinal version. I have to rate this new version a 2 as it doesn't have a way to backup and restore dope. I saw notes posted 7/18 that is was not ready for public, and there is no way to manually export and store data. I lost all my dope when my phone was damaged. If you provide a way to backup and restore data again... I would rate this 5 stars..Version: 2.0.3
✓ No BluetoothBought this to test ballistic solvers and this is the only one that does not let you connect to your Kestrel or weatherflow via Bluetooth. I had high hopes for this app and asked AB if they were going to update the app to connect to Kestrels or WeatherFlows and they have ignored me each time I’ve asked. I cannot recommend this app for what you pay for it. Save your $30..Version: 2.4.20
✓ Needs a lot of workAn update caused the app to crash whenever I would try display any of my previously saved load data. If I recreate the load it will work fine but all of my previously saved data was useless. Also recently had to backup and restore my phone and now all of my saved data is gone. This app used to have a cloud sync feature but it’s nowhere to be found now. Guess I get to start over..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Good information, bad appThe information is great, the app is total trash. Not overly user friendly. You cannot customize or organize your chart table. For being a $30 app, you would expect more. StrelockPro is significantly better..Version: 2.4.24
✓ Not for IPadWorks ok on iphone..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Very poor appGood concept but to many bugs. Since the last update there is more bugs making the app useless. Waitin since3 week for an new update to fix these bugs.Version: 1.2.0
✓ DistanceWhen you go to a metric system it does not show the break down in in didstance.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Doesn’t work anymoreUsed to work but must not be updated. Just kicks you out. No mas. No star here. I got the books and the app. Deserve better..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Lost All DataMaybe it’s user error. Maybe it’s because the app is not intuitive. I got a new phone and lost all of my data. New screen. As if I had no account. As if I hadn’t purchased dozens of custom drag models. All gone. Clicked on “restore purchases” and got zip, nada, nothing. Tried “web sync” - nope. Good thing I still have my data on StrelokPro and keep hard-copy hand-written notes, but what a waste of time it was to use this app only to lose all of my efforts when I upgraded to a new phone. Thanks for nothing and for wasting my time and money. I realize your drag models are supposedly the gold standard, but your app leaves a lot to be desired in user friendliness. I’ve used maybe half a dozen or more ballistic apps and, overall, my experience with StrelokPro has been much better, and I actually had more hits at varying distances with data from StrelokPro than the data given by AB..Version: 2.4.20
✓ Great promise but no bug fixes for a long timeNew version seems to have removed ability to adjust ballistic coefficient. Not sure what bugs were fixed, but apart from the vanishing BCs, I don't seem much difference. App is good, but still disappointed that Litz' signature application is not being maintained and enhanced to fulfill the original promise. Old review: This a good app. I bought it as an upgrade to Shooter which is allegedly written by the same person. In reality there is presently no major advance over its predecessor. The ballistics modeling is a little more refined but the promised custom drag curves have still not materialized. Many of the features could need a little refinement and there are still quite a few bugs that need to be fixed. Considering this app is branded Applied Ballistics, I was expecting that it would be continuously refined to reflect positively on Mr Litz and his endeavors. I am giving it three stars, since there has been no substantial update for a long time. I am wondering if Mr Litz has given up supporting the iPhone?.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Not working properlyI setup all the required information but when I try to calculate, it has no drops Also another issue when I setup ammo at 3138fps the app while showing the ammo At the correct speed calculated at 3838 Needs some serious work please, not worth the cost and would love a refund.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Reasonable Program but has major bugsI purchased this program to use to calculate ballistics out to ranges of 1500yds. I live in Australia and no matter what I do, after I set my unit preferences then enable atmosphere and sync to station it changes my units from imperial to metric. I use imperial units while shooting and I find this to be that much of a hassle I now don't use the program. Applied Ballistics needs to fix this problem.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Nowhere near strelok proRIP these sanctions.Version: 2.4.24
✓ Cannot be trustedThe software ver 2.4.20 is fraught with errors and produces erroneous solutions. I contacted AB and they said they were aware of the problem. But, it is almost a year later and they havent updated the software with corrections. I want a refund..Version: 2.4.20
✓ Will not read kestrel 5500Love the app but I have to manually enter the weather from my kestrel 5500. StrelokPro pro loads it very fast. Pretty disappointing for 30 bucks. Absolutely no info in the web to solve this issue. All you get is info about the 5700. Save your money and get StrelokPro or even ballisticsarc..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Supposed to be the best and I disagreeNot that great and requires in app purchases just to get the custom drag curves. Which is the whole point of the app really. Most expensive app for ballistics and then on top of it requires you to buy every single custom drag curve for the bullets you want. What a joke. No thanks I’ll stick with g7 curves on other apps or a kestrel with its ballistics..Version: 2.0.3
✓ ClunkyI was sad when my phone was broken and I found out the hard way that Strelock Pro is banned so I went to applied ballistics. While I’m sure Mr. Litz has some great ballistic tables in here, for $30 it’s just not worth it. Super clunky and not intuitive to use. Really just a terrible user interface, and for $30 for an app, this thing should be the bees knees…sad..Version: 2.4.24
✓ Unusable chart for iPadVery comprehensive. Has everything you need for competitive shooting. The solution chart is unusable because it cuts off the distances in the display..Version: 2.0.3
✓ No supportVery disappointed with app support. I have been unable to input any data. Emailed twice asking for help with no response. Even a reply with something like we’re working on it would be nice. I guess I expect to much from a $30 app..Version: 2.1.2
✓ No backupNot having your data backed up when you get a different phone, is a huge bummer..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Repeatedly drops dataNew versions drops all data in re-opening and all my ballistics observations, including my rifle specifics lost. Absolutely dreadful App Earlier versions were really helpful, but now.... avoid at all costs. Even when avoiding upgrading App, it still drops all previous records.....Version: 2.1.4
✓ Does Not Work on My iPhoneThe title says it all. I put in a data and get a blank screen. I guess I will continue to use Shooter..Version: 2.4.24
✓ IPad failBallistics table doesn’t format correctly on iPad..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Buggy and metric is problematicThis won't perform a calculation unless I refresh my settings from the server when I start it up. Metric mode forces you to use wind speeds of metres per second - would be nice to be able to use Km/h or Knots. Currently an expensive mistake, using a different calculator and hoping that this gets a much needed update - no updates since April 2016!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Over priced and buggyThis app is way over priced plus it don't work properly , I contacted the litz team and asked for a refund and they sent me an email giving me a temporary fix and told me to wait for an update after paying 42$ Canadian . I been getting wrong ballistic solution for both my 308 and 243 by about a 10 MOA error . Kind of disappointed thinking I'd get something more form applied ballistics app , I have shooter and isnipe and they work fine , I should have saved my 42 $ and stuck with isnipe . This app cannot be trusted in the field , I'm sure they will fix the issue with an update but again after paying 42$ it should be working right now ..Version: 1.2.2
✓ JamesNo more support to fix bugs . Do not buy.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Has become useless to me...Using this app from iPhone x.. I cannot even use this app, because after putting all my info into the App, i get impossible firing solutions. If i could get my money back i would...only way to get it to work is to delete and re install, then it works for a while. I don't have this prob with my other ballistics app..Version: 2.1.4
✓ A User menu!Would be intuitive with a user menu page! “Tidbits” of useful information would make it more beneficial! “Old grey”..Version: 2.3.9
✓ Lacking many scope reticlesDisappointed that I paid so much for an app that gives you very little options, when it comes to scope reticles. There are other apps out there that are far ahead of this one when it comes to getting the most up to date Information. Applied Ballistics needs to get with the game and start updating reticles and release an update soon!.Version: 2.4.20
✓ Great app, lacks reticlesThrowing a one on this because it’s heartbreaking the lack of reticle choice. Outside of that it’s very utilitarian and I appreciate it. Please update with some primary arms, swamp Fox, etc reticles. Will happily edit..Version: 2.4.24
✓ Problems since 2019 updateThe HUD displays when a person changes the distance/wind do not adjust in the respective display panels, however the data for adjustments is displaying. An example, you will see the distance display as 950 yards, when adjusting the distance the yardage display does not change but the solutions change. The problem this causes is one may think they have a solution for XX yardage, but in fact the displayed distance is incorrect. Tried calling the customer service number as well as emailed costumer support.....crickets. Maybe they will fix these issues with the next update. Otherwise, great info and data. Easy to use and was extremely pleased before the software update. Now I’m patiently waiting on the fix to this issue..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Nothing good except the trajectory validationThe most basic feature of range card is missing! You can’t input multiple distances for a match. Only a few reticles available! Doesn’t allow the users to fully customise the units. (e.g. I can’t have speed in fps while the others in metric units) I only want mil and clicks in the hud, but it forces me to see MOA and IPHY! You can’t save a default distance or target. Every time you open it, it will automatically input 1000yards!.Version: 2.4.24
✓ Needs to be fixed!!!!Wind speed input is buggy. No matter what you do the number exponentially increases thus rendering a $30 dollar app useless. Please fix!!!.Version: 1.0.0
