SBC - Ballistic Calculator app Positive Reviews

Will be great for mostPerfect for Hunters! This is the easiest, quickest app for in-the-field hunting applications. The ability to quickly pull up ballistic data for live targets is the most important factor while hunting. That is where this app excels. The developer also does a great job of updating and tweaking this app. With so many new shooters in the past year, this app’s popularity is sure to grow. Where this app could be improved: G7 data (as mentioned by nearly everyone)! Also would be great to add a scope correction factor input for inputting data obtained during a Tall Target test. Would also very much like to see rifle inputs (barrel length, twist rate) and an in-app tutorial. If it had these it would be perfect! As is, This is still my preferred app for hunting. BTW - lack of G7 data and other inputs can be overcome by truing the app to observed data from shooting. Lots of good videos out there on this and should be done regardless of the ballistic solver ur using..Leupold VortexVersion: 4.0

I really really enjoy the app but it’s got it’s issuesI’ve used this app on and off for a few years. I enjoy everything about it function wise. Biggest issue is sometime the app get hard locked out so it’ll crash any time I open it. I haven’t been able to figure out what causes this but it can be extremely annoying to lose all my data and then have to re enter it. Would also like to see more Schmidt reticles like the MDRT6..Blake FlahertyVersion: 5.8

July 2020: SBC Ballistic Top Rated Excellent AppYes, this is related to all Snipers out there, it is the most accurate ballistic apps with huge ammunition data library that you can use to create your personal ballistic data which includes muzzle velocity, muzzle energy, ballistic coefficient, distance, wind speed & direction, weapon sight height, and weather condition, etc. Also includes different scopes brand either FIrst Focal Plane, Second Focal Plane, and showing many target selection with POI indicator of elevation and windage for adjustment correction needed for that range distance. The rest of ballistic apps I purchased and used that you may compare next leading are Mil-Dot Ballistic, iSnipe, Ballistic AE, StrelokPro, and the worst more expensive Applied Ballistic.

For newbies or oldiesSo relatively new to long distance shooting and don’t have a spotter. But once you know your zero at a specific range..(highly suggest 200) and you know the bullet you are going to use (never change btw) this app has allowed me to very accurately dial in my holds up to 450 yds with my JP 15 shooting 5.56.. Have to be within 2” of accuracy to the calculations... I believe it would be dead on if I had the exact correct velocity of my rounds, but just going with what the box says. Also the huge preloaded ammo selection is awesome. Most expensive app purchase ever, and paid for itself in the ammo I’ve saved!.3gunBatdadVersion: 3.8

Great Improvements MadeI was reluctant after reading the reviews to download this app, but after looking at the update history I decided to give it a try. It has worked flawlessly and is very easy to use, including with the Apple watch. This app developer has worked incredibly hard to address all the negatives brought up in past reviews. Every update is something major that makes a huge improvement in functionality. A year ago I wouldn't have recommended it, but today I say buy it with complete confidence..Lithos88Version: 3.6

Not for everyoneFirst one I actually paid for. The interface is great and easy to use, as stated in previous reviews it has an ammo library and you can add the scope your using. I had to quit using it because I only shoot hand loads and after entering data for my loads I felt like I was chasing my dope around. After some frustrating range trips and calibrating my reload equipment, and other numerous tests I tried another ballistic calculator. SBC app was off almost 2 moa on a 500 yard shot. If your using factory ammo that’s in their library it may work better for you..Three sisters paintingVersion: 5.7

Best app you can get. Hands down.Not only do I shoot A LOT, but I also work at a range. People have asked me what this app is and I’ve told them because it’s the best app I’ve ever seen and I wouldn’t have told them if I didn’t think it was the best. If it were $50 I’d still have gotten it. It’s amazing what’s all packed into this app. I can get people (and myself) sighted in and shooting perfectly within 1-3 shots. Again, amazing app. 12/10 nothing compares to it..Sr3 BBEASTVersion: 4.1

App won’t open anymoreI love this app very much but it won’t open for me anymore. It does the initial loading screen and then just closes. Tried deleting and reinstalling, it open the first time but after that it won’t open. I’m on version 5.8 if that’s helpful in any way. Other than this problem I’ve loved the app, just a bummer..IamMatorVersion: 5.8

App ClosuresI recently got the app downloaded, and before I started saving information as far as ballistics and rounds that I use, the app would continuously close on its own or mostly while opening it. Redownloaded the app, problem went away. I started to save everything and now the app will not open or stay running the rare times it does. Great app as far as what you need. But now that it’s taking money, it decides not to operate. (Current version is downloaded).Milky WilkVersion: 5.8

Great until it wasn’t.Having the same issue as others with it crashing on launch. Worked previously, but I was hoping to get some use out of the app since I’ll be shooting out to 1,000yds this weekend. Oh well. Edit: I uninstalled then reinstalled the app, and it seems to be working as expected for the moment..SonicwookieeVersion: 5.8

Needs two sets of weather conditionsIn the future I’d like to see a place to set what weather conditions you set your zero at then what conditions you’re later shooting in. The yardage at what you zero’d at is going to be off and it would be nice to know by how much..HammyChan6114Version: 5.3

GreatHad the SBC lite for a long time downloaded this one now I use both to compare back and forth and love being able to have data quick and store hand loads and all the other features been using these two apps for years.GundeerslayerVersion: 5.8

Great app, but has big problemsIt has a lot of features and would be/is worth the price if it wouldn’t crash. With a fresh install, works great. After a bit, it crashes on boot. I’ve tried closing it and rebooting the device. Only way to get it working again is to reinstall and lose all the load data and rifle setups.MattEllinVersion: 5.8

Not badApps not too bad I like it other then for the price it should allow me to change my drag from G1 to G7 messing up my hold my 2 moa at 700 yards on an elk. Only realizing it didn’t save to g7 until after I missed and later looked back at the app. The shooter app actually lets you change. it went out and shot using the holds on the shooter app and hit a tight group at 700 🤷🏼‍♂️.Potato972Version: 4.2

Love this appI have paid for and downloaded four ballistic calculators and the SBC app is hands down the best one out there. Intuitive and easy to use, save your favorite reticles for quick access and the birds eye view of your surroundings is really cool and useful. Don’t waste your time and money on any other app..@johnnyblaze509Version: 3.8

Love the app needs more scopesApp is great runs flawlessly. One of the most accurate ballistic calculators I’ve used with extensive load data. Only thing I’d like to see is continued updates for scopes/reticle. Namely the leupold mark 5hd with the pr2 reticle MOA. Would love to see that added..Rampag3kidVersion: 4.2

Really good But…Really good, but whenever I try to range card anything smaller than a 25yrd increment the program crashes. It’s not a huge deal, but I wished it wouldn’t have happen after Paying for the actual app..Rb779Version: 4.2

New Reticles!I requested a reticle and in the very next update they had my scope! The ballistic calculator is amazing and the GPS function (while sometimes can be a bit buggy) is really helpful in determining wind direction and speed. 1000 yards is no small feat and this app makes it a lot easier..Randal Stevens568Version: 3.8

Best ballistic calculatorWorks great on iPhone and Apple Watch. Tried the competition and it doesn’t even come close. There’s a lite version you can try before you buy and I’m extremely happy with my purchase..Wiggi89Version: 4.2

Needs to sync data between devicesThe ability to sync data is needed also the watch app needs to be fleshed out. a retical view on the watch would be ideal. Also integration with a weather device like kestrel will put it over the top.ArmedtotheteethVersion: 3.9

Spot onI got this app while I was at the range. Forgot my IPad with my information on it. Fired two shots with the chronograph. Entered the info and it was spot on the target at 500 yards. Can’t complain for that. Will be keeping it..JMASTER95Version: 5.8

Crash on app launchLove the simplicity and effective layout of the app, however the app will suddenly be force stopped. Maybe a memory cashing issue. Tends to happen shortly after I’ve started creating presets and using optics. Only fix is to reinstall, wiping all presets. Issue is easily repeatable and occurs with regular use.AuxFoxVersion: 5.8

Great but crashesLove the app but it crashes and then won’t open. I have to uninstall and then reinstall only to have crash the next time. Please update!!!.SuppositoryUploadedVersion: 5.8

App crashes constantlyWill not stay open for two minutes. Please fix!.Shade711Version: 4.0

Love this app! There isn’t another like it.However, it doesn’t open on my new iPhone. Hoping an update comes soon..DoaarVersion: 5.8

Been great for meIv been using this app for the last year now and it’s been 95% right on for me with all of the information I put in it’d dead on for me.Mike HousingerVersion: 5.8

Pretty dang closeIt’s pretty dang close out to a grand. You just kinda have to play with the app some to figure it out then it works nicely..LapodnaVersion: 5.8

ScopesNo available options for my scope. Hope this changes as I’ve submitted a request.CementTacoVersion: 4.2

Easy to useGreat app, easy to use, fast in switching between options.FEM**Version: 5.8

Keeps crashingGreat app but keeps crashing. You enter all the data just for it to not open anymore..Fhd350zfb7Version: 5.8

Good APP with a few bugsAPP has great features that allow for multiple gun configurations and a good library of cartridges . Great array of scopes to chose from and ability to toggle between MOA and Mils offers good versatility. My only complaint is that this APP would fail to load every 3-4 weeks and force me to delete and re-install it. After doing this 3 or 4 times and losing all of my preset data, this only caused me more work to reconfigure each and every time. If they get the bugs fixed I may be back but for now the light version is more than adequate..RMH CriticVersion: 5.8

Such a great ballistics appGreat variety of reticle & ammo..Craft5Version: 3.9

Update Factory Loads and ReticlesGreat app - definitely worth subscription. The reticle and magnification function is a huge help. My only complaint is that factory loads and reticles are very slow in development..Kale 21 BVersion: 5.8

It's okNot the best app out there it does less than a lot of others app out there that is a lot less money. I bought it cause it works on the Apple Watch. It works on the watch but it is tedious and the watch and phone doesn't sync so you have to do everything twice and it doesn't line up with other app that I know works. Personally I wouldn't buy it again if I knew what I know now. 3 stars cause it's the only app that is stand alone on the Apple Watch..AAWillemseVersion: 4.2

SatisfiedBut I’m an olde guy. I changed the font to enlarge it and now I get lines of data written over each other making things hard to read. I wish I could correct this. Otherwise I’m very happy. We had a lot of fun on the range shooting small cartridges at gongs out to 400M. Some we were hitting and couldn’t hear it. I might change to another app to eliminate this font problem but I’m used to this one..BondagenheadVersion: 4.0

SBC - Ballistic Calculator app Negative Reviews

Environmental variables do not workMy main gripe with this app is that changing the temperature and pressure do not work properly. Pressure changes don’t seem to give any difference in firing solution. Temperature changes shows a minimal effect on trajectory and in the opposite direction of reality. If you hold muzzle velocity, pressure, and other environmental variables constant, a colder temp should result in more drop at a given range due to more dense air. This app actually shows less drop at 0F than 100F. Also, the watch app can only adjust the temperature up to 70F. You can get around the 70F limitation by entering temp in degrees C but the formulas that calculate the effect on bullet trajectory are still wrong. This app does seem to account for elevation changes. If you are a hunter that is going to be taking shots inside of 500 yards and able to verify dope in similar weather conditions to your hunt, the ability to have this on your watch can be of use. If you are shooting longer ranges and need to make a first round hit, use AB on your phone. For a given load, AB 70F 1000 yard = drop of 12 MIL SBC 70F 1000 yard = drop 12 MIL AB 0F 1000 yard = drop 13.2 MIL SBC 0F 1000 yard = drop 11.9 MIL AB 28.0 inHg 1000 yard = 11.4 MIL SBC 28.0 inHg 1000 yard = 12.0 MIL AB 31.0 inHg 1000 yard = 12.4 MIL SBC 31.0 inHg 1000 yard = 12.0 MIL.KS shooterVersion: 4.1

Won’t openThis appears to be a very good app however, once I set up the rifles and save them, and the app is closed such as when the phone restarts when I go to open the app, it won’t open the icon pops on the screen spins around once and I’m returning to the home screen support has yet to respond to my request for assistance. I have to remove the app from my home screen from the phone and then I have to re-download it but when doing so it tells me I will lose all my data when I re-download the app after deleting it. The app opens, but my data is gone. Also, there is no way to save different rifles with different ammunition types if I save and set up a rifle in 308 and then I create another rifle in 65 Creedmoor the rifle that was set up in 308 is now showing 65 Creedmoor. Is this app supported any longer?.PtbpilotVersion: 5.8

Unusable after the recent iOS versionsI’ve been using SBC Ballistic Calculator for a long time and it used to work great. Unfortunately, ever since the last couple of iOS updates, the app has become completely unusable. It crashes instantly — it either closes abruptly during use or doesn’t even open at all. With hunting season right around the corner, this has been incredibly frustrating. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app multiple times but the issue still persists. No updates or fixes from the developer in weeks, so I finally had to switch to another ballistic app. Really disappointed to see a once-reliable tool go downhill like this..Syedhyder iPad Air 128gbVersion: 5.8

Stunning design flaw(maybe)I could be wrong, but I can’t change the color of the text. I would give the app a 6/5 if I could were it not for the fact that red on black characters make it virtually impossible to use in bright ambient light. It is my favorite functioning ballistic app by a long shot(npi), but it’s useless unless you do all your shooting in the worlds largest darkroom. I sent them an email, no reply. Red on black, really?... Red? On black? If I’m wrong and there is some way to change this idiotic red text to a different color please let me know, and I will gladly apologize and change my rating to 5 stars. I openly admit a sub 70 IQ when it comes to iPhone tech/apps et al, so I got that going for me as well..OnlythedingmattersVersion: 3.9

Works as designedWorks great, and the calculation is almost perfect. One problem tho, it closes itself when it is doing any kind of generation. It seems to get about half way through the chart or any other math that’s it’s doing and then just shuts off and you have to start back over only to have the same thing happen again and again. I really think if this was fixed it would be one of the top ballistic apps out there. It’s actually better and easier to use than the StrelokPro..Dugan'sVersion: 4.0

SBC Not completely functional.Purchased the app with excitement. Set it up using my specific set up. Worked great and was right on the money where hold or clicks was concerned. When I opened the app later I realized that it wouldn’t open at all. I had to delete it, and then reinstall it. It did not save any of my rifle, scope, or load data. This was a total letdown as I now had to go through inputting all the info again. I reached out to support for help and received nothing. All I can say is don’t waste your time. It’s not functional. Totally bummed. Alan S..Wanting Voter HelpVersion: 5.8

Not goodBig fail for only being able to have 1 rifle and optic. If there is a way to have multiple I have not found it. The data input is not user friendly, and it has features that are superfluous like target types, and scope types. That crap isn’t needed but the list below is. 1. No G7 BC’s so your calculations are not going to be as accurate. 2. No input for powder temp at zero, nor for zeroing atmospheric conditions, meaning that the calculation is just a guess with out knowing a start point. 3. No input for changes in powder performance for changes in temp..Old OperatorVersion: 5.4

Great when it worksI purchased this app when it first dropped, and it was exactly what I needed when I decided to get into long range shooting and hunting. After about a year, they did something with how they charged for the app, and completely dropped my purchase like it never existed. I was able to get a hold of them, and they did the right thing with restoring my purchase, but since then, the app hasn’t been reliable. It just won’t load..Japan4ej20stiVersion: 5.8

A good start to a great potentialThis app could be great but alas it’s missing the ability to share load data between devices and it would be great to get all the data organized in the phone and share it to the watch as well as being able to link the phone and the watch so you could gain duel access to the same info in real time with the phone and the watch. The dogs are barking down here for more Apple Watch compatibles. Thanks for being the fist to make it happen Woof woof.IMac 10 CoreVersion: 5.6

CrashesWhen this app does work it’s great. Usually within .1 mil of a Kestrel. I have been paying for this app for years and years. This app only works after being deleted from the phone and redownloaded, making you lose all your data. With hunting season in full swing it’s a real liability when your ballistic app won’t open.MontanaLapuaVersion: 5.8

App CrashesI’ve downloaded the app 3 times now and built my data. Each time I close the app I cannot reopen it. Tried all the usual fixes (restarting phone etc.) nothing works. I should have taken screenshots because the data is amazing, if the app were stable. They also only have limited commercial ammo choices. You have to build each load..Gcox155Version: 5.8

What happened to this app?All of a sudden the app is extremely slow to load the data card. It then crashes once the data card is loaded. I uninstalled the app (losing my saved rifles and loads) and reinstalled. I still have the same problem. It started after the last update 3-4weeks ago. Anyone else experiencing this?.Eric StadlerVersion: 4.0

Can’t enter custom infoI used the SBC calculator before so I thought I would purchase the app to use all the benefits of the app to its fullest extent. Now I can’t enter any information into the app at all. I can’t even change any of the factory info that it comes with. If this app would work I would definitely change my rating. I enjoyed this app a lot when it worked..JustGolfCrazyVersion: 4.2

Worked once and crashedI used this for 20 minutes, opened it back up and it looks like it’s loading, then shuts down. I just got my new iPhone 15 a few days ago. It’s terrible that it won’t open anymore. Looks like I will be deleting this app as it won’t work..Joe_Gino_USAVersion: 5.8

Can’t enter in any variables. UselessThe app won’t let me enter values to create handloads, I can’t change the zero yardage or sight height when trying to create info for my rifles. I contacted the developer and got no response in over 3 months. If these things worked, it would be a great app 5/5. But it’s useless without being able to change the variables to my setup. MHeppler.Mike heppVersion: 4.1

Not RecommendedDon’t get me wrong. It is a beautiful app and well put together. But if it doesn’t have your specific reticle it’s useless. Purchased a few months ago, requested my scope reticle be added and have sent an email. Last update was over 3 months ago. Developer has not added reticle or ever contacted me back. Will not be recommending to my students. Look elsewhere for a ballistics calculator..X_new_yorkaVersion: 3.7

Closes randomlyThe app is cool when it works. But it often won’t open when all my other apps will. I have to delete the app and reinstall it from the App Store, Then I have to enter all the info and billets again. I have sent help requests with no answer..Aaron 319Version: 5.8

Still won’t openI have paid my fees and they have collected the money. App still does not open. I used the App for almost a year and really like it. Now it stopped opening. It says they fixed a bug 2 weeks ago but it is still not working. I’m going to try to delete the app and then reinstall..JohubbVersion: 5.8

Used to work, now it’s junksA couple of years ago I downloaded it and used it to help find reticle placement for further distances. Now: it doesn’t work at all. Just keeps asking for money even after i’ve paid for a monthly subscription that didn’t exist until years after i first purchased the app.Reticle JunkieVersion: 4.9

Needs additional inputsI have Ballistic AE, Shooter and Strelok pro. Also use JBM for my trusted DOPE. This app has great visual and many preloaded reticles as compared to the rest. As many have said, definitely needs development for the watch. The G1 only is a no go for long distance and ELR. I purchased it and wont use it till it gets up to par with the rest. Hopefully my purchase will help the developer. Needs Rifle profiles to add in twist rate and direction. G7 drag functions would be nice. As others have said, ability to calculate range card on phone then send to watch. Kestrel compatibility would be great. Check the ballistics against JBM, I couldn’t get them to come close..Ruger ProVersion: 3.9

Constant crashingNice ballistic features, however, it crashes constantly. Then I have to uninstall and reinstall which costs valuable time when using in the field. Also having issues with the weather data updating properly..StachouliVersion: 3.9

Thinking I made a mistakeAt first look, it is an impressive app. I purchased it largely because of the functionality with the IWatch. However, I CANNOT get it to work on the watch. I get a little spinning wheel of death and then it just closes. Hoping I can get this to work...or I will want my money back.Bubba LooieVersion: 3.9

Crash when you filled all required infoIt won’t open again when everything is filled.Ziheng QuVersion: 5.8

Missing G7 coefficientTwo major problems with this app. It crashes on open unless you purchase the subscription. But the bigger problem is that it’s missing the G7 coefficient and only has G1. This app otherwise is probably the best out there in terms of layout and intuitiveness. However, without having G7 and other coefficients to choose this unfortunately renders it useless. I’ll rate 5 stars if these are fixed..TheOne1102Version: 5.8

Needs angle moaNeeds angle moa.Your papeshVersion: 5.8

App won’t run until you subscribeThe app description suggests a subscription provides additional features; however, the app provides zero features and won’t even really start unless you subscribe. Right after the logo appears, a subscription screen appears, with a purchase button, and a restore purchases button, but no way to bypass it or use the app at all until after you subscribe. Very deceptive practice..MasterFRVersion: 4.9

Crap supportScope / reticle selection is limited. I have asked support few times to add reticles, never happened. The app would be great with the proper support..MenoManoVersion: 4.1
