Shooter (Ballistic Calculator) App Reviews

Appear to have to re-enter UID, PW and Email everytime you want to sync. Should remember or have option to do so. Output seems to be only in MOA or Mils even though MOA per click is entered. Must be a setting somewhere that is not obvious. Seems to have all the bells and whistles needed once I get the data loaded. One purchase works on both the iphone and ipad even though iTunes leads you to believe otherwise.

This app is easy to understand and use. It has also proven to be accurate to distances of 1,000 yards. I live in the Rocky Mountain region where my shooting conditions often change 6,000 feet or more with wide temperature swings. When ballistic and atmospheric information is entered correctly this app provides me with the readings which are normally within 1/4 MOA of Applied Ballistics which is considerably more expensive. Downsides, after updating to IOS 8 (IPAD) velocity calibration still does not work, improvements and updates are infrequent, and the developer is slow to respond to requests for information. Developers for the two other apps I use, typically respond within 24 hours.

I do a lot of load development for numerous calibers for long range shooting, 1000 yd, at various locations around the Western US and found this program has all the input variables youll need. Additionally the bullet library is quite extensive

The app works great. I have purchased versions of 1.2.9 for both my iPad and my iPhone. The only problem I have is that I cannot find the "SOLUTION" tab on the iPad version. I contacted tech support per the instructions on the website over a month ago and still have not received a response. If I can get a response and learn how to access the solution tab on my iPad I would rate the app five stars.

I want my money back!

This is a great app that has a lot of great features and seems to accurately calculate ballistics in an easy to use format. I have only two real complaints. The first being that I would like to see initial bullet velocities shown in the standard ammunition library. For entry level shooters or hunters who dont have a chronograph, were left searching the internet. The other complaint is that the distance a gun is sighted in is notated on the bullet library, not the gun library. As an owner of several .223 and .308 rifles, it is a huge pain to have the same cartridges listed for each separate gun. It would be much easier to list multiple guns and have a consistent cartridge library.

For ballistics experts ONLY!! Terminology used goes light years beyond the common rifle owner and re loaders knowledge! This is WAY beyond useless to me!! Useful for ammunition manufactures certainly but for no one else! No instructions no glossary to explain how to use this "information"!

Uninstalled and finally program worked. But in the meantime discovered a superior app - Mil-Dot

Have this on my HTC Evo 4g as a back up, but would love to have the same capabilities on my Iphone 5. Please add Kestrel Bluetooth Plug. Thanks! Love this application. Any plans to add Kestrel Bluetooth plug in? Please add the Kestrel Bluetooth plug in for this app!!!!

Dont pay attention to negative reviews, they dont know what theyre talking about. This is a great app for all you ballistic calculations. It had all the inputs you need and it very accurate. I shoot long range a lot and its never failed me. Well worth the price. Have used it out to 1,100 yds. Ive tested it and the data matches up with the popular calculators online like gseven.com

Wow I wish I had read the manual prior to wasting $10! DO NOT PURCHASE FOR APPLE Really??? 2012 was the last update, pretty dang lazy! None of the bullets I shoot are updated so the program is basically useless unless I go back to factory loads which there is no need for a calculator ....

Good App, easy to use interface and accurate results. Only down side is it does not have any metric inputs available for bullet diameters.

Switched to Shooter from Ballistic AE a little while back and I couldnt be happier. I would easily have given a 5 star rating but there has been a pretty long delay in updating the bullet library. Hopefully there is an update soon.

Ive been using the App for over a year now and it works great! Plug in your load info and youre in business. Calculates wind with an easy to use pointer in the field. I have had no glitches or problems with the app and can highly recommend!

Unable to email table result for printing ? Great app . Well worth the cost and more!

Great app......however, can no longer email results, therefore, can not print results. Was able to do so prior to upgrading. Contacted designer, no response....

Completely broken and un useable on iPhone 4. You have to enter in the distance youre shooting at, so the keypad comes up. However, the keypad wont go away, and it hides the "done" button. So my only option is cancel. If youre on the 4s or lower, dont buy until this is fixed.

This app has never worked well for me. I thought Id wait for updates to correct it but updates never worked in two years. Trajectory graphs are straight lines with no drop.

I was told this was a good app. Wrong. I installed this app on my IPad and my iPhone an with the same impute I got very different results on each one. Then I compared these to the G7 program and the Shooter was way off. How can I have faith in this program? Dont waste your time!

This is my "go-to" app for all of my rifle shooting. If you dont know how to use the app, it can be confusing- but thats cause it has so much to offer. After you download it, go to the website and learn how to fully utilize the app.
