Shooter: Ballistic Calculator Positive Reviews

Best App for Hunting UseI’ve been utilizing the shooter app for several years specifically for hunting. Recently the app was updated to improve overall functionality but lost some of the key features that allowed quick target solutions. The app developer listened to a specific group of highly knowledgeable users feedback and incorporated a field mode that provides the absolute best interface to quickly produce accurate solutions with minimal effort, increasing your time to engagement..JFGSP0Version: 2.1.2

Best ballistic appThis is the best app for real world practical shooting solutions. Developer is by far the most responsive to user feedback and the app is so much easier and simpler to use than other options for real world practical shooting. Wether out hunting in the field or shooting targets at distance this is what you want..JoestreeVersion: 2.1.0

Used for yearsI've used this app for years in all my hunting rigs and long range shooting. Tweak the different impact ranges and this is perfect every time. It recently upgraded with new view makes it even more user friendly and deadly accurate.Uncle teetVersion: 2.0.0

Love the new field view optionThe developer was super quick to respond to complaints about a recent update, and added an optional simplified solution screen that is optimized for hunters. It’s great!.L333a333l333a333Version: 2.1.0

Great service!Best ballistic app on the market. A recent update made some big changes that weren’t well received by hunters but the developer took direct feedback and made more changes to restore the prior utility..ZTCarlson92Version: 2.1.0

Best ballistic appUsed this app for years now and love it. The most recent update improved it significantly. It’s everything you need to get a quick ballistic solution and not a lot of extraneous BS..Sean… Damn itVersion: 2.1.0

On par with AB.Since we can’t get strelok anymore, I had been using applied ballistics. I am finding the ShooterApp to be just as good as AB. Possibly a little better. But the bullet library needs updated..El caballo blancoVersion: 2.1.2

Great AppReally appreciate the dev team jumping on Rokslide and listening to the input from the community. Been using for years and will definitely keep using it now!.JimmyP2212Version: 2.1.0

Would be a five StarThe ballistics side of it works well, but since the big update I got a while back, I cannot get environmentals from the weather station, and I just got a Kestrel and it will not find it..SkunkCreekVersion: 2.2.0

The best customer service and best shooting app.I have used many different shooting apps and find Shooter the easiest to use and setup. The developer is amazing 10 star review..Mtnbound3Version: 2.1.0

Best ballistics appWithout a doubt the best..AlexgjgjVersion: 2.1.0

Tested it - appears to be an accurate and great appI own a firearms training company in GA that offers two Long Range Precision Rifle Course shooting out to 700 yds. We tell our students that if you depend on only one ballistics program for your predictions you are a fool. Different programs use different approaches to crunch numbers and often use different assumptions (G1 vs G7 for instance). If those assumptions are valid, the solutions will be pretty close from program to program. Where you have a large discrepancy - you need to hunt that down - it could be a typo in the BC program database that you can't fix. Thats why you should always check a new program against programs of known accuracy. Checking this program against Sierra Infinity, the online JBM calculator, and Bryan Litz's Point Mass program shows it to agree very closely with all three programs. I particularly like the fact that his database includes Bryan Litz's empirically derived ballistic coefficients. This tells me that Sean Kennedy did his homework when he built this program and it produces good numbers. My phone upgrade came up last month and I dumped my Blackberry for the Iphone in part specifically for apps like this one. This app is really going to make it much easier and quicker to get a customer on target if their primary weapon goes down and they have to go for their backup or one of our rental rifles. Great app - highly recommend it..Send It DownrangeVersion: 1.2.1

New update for iOS 8After updating to iOS 8 the app closes every time I try to edit bullet data or try to make a new bullet. PLEASE FIX ASAP! I need this app and right now I cannot use!!! Best app on the market for shooting ballistics and solutions. I would recommend this to any avid shooter as a quick and accurate tool for precise long range shooting and hunting. Only reason I don't give this review 5 stars is because the new update makes the app harder to read at a glance. There needs to be something else to help break up the columns so it's easier to read on the fly. Everything is the same now, makes it harder to read the separate lines and columns with it all looking so monotone on the page..JnamzlohVersion: 1.2.6

Great AppAfter reading how stupid the negative reviews are about this app I felt the need to wade in here. I teach long range shooting classes and have access to many different apps to help my students hit beyond 1000 yards. For a quick and dirty solution I always end up using Shooter. If we want more precision we'll use Field Firing Solutions which costs hundreds of dollars and requires more power than an iPhone is capable of. It is important to remember all of the app calculators are doing the same thing in the background. Price and usability are the only deciding factors and Shooter has that. You can be very accurate out to 1500 yards with this app..Cc2002iceVersion: 1.2.5

Accurate and easyThis 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..De Ole Wharf RatVersion: 1.2.9

Won’t find a better App for Hunt CalibersUsed this for multiple calibers in multiple makes and models (Christensen, Sako, Tikka) in 6.5 Swede, Creed & PRC up to 300 PRC, and no other app available to this day is as easy to use or as accurate: verified consistency over and over again from 200 to 1200 yds! Not sure about 22LR with the super light pills at low velocity; 22 creed you should be good, but don’t bash ‘em for 22LR, too lite, too slow to fight gravity and wind for any distance. Don’t know if any app would do much good on those, unless specialized for ultra lite target loads..3150 fpsVersion: 1.3.3

Great AppThis 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 don't have a chronograph, we're 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..Sins4MeVersion: 1.2.9

Definitely Worth ItI’ve been long range shooting for only about a year & a half now, but in that time I’ve probably put in over 200hrs of classroom time and over 1k rounds of field time. Just learning to call wind, changing my mind about things, zeroing & trueing multiple different rifles… I’ve used about ten different ballistic calculators. I’ll say this: if you’re sticking to a max time of flight that’s about 1.3s then look no further. If you’re really going out there at 1500yds and beyond, the Hornady 4DOF app is actually really good at predicting hits well past 1k yards. But it’s way more labor intensive with the data inputs; you need to be doing that correctly. And it can be more frustrating than this app when shooting at 800yds or less. The reason I prefer the Shooter app for anything less than extreme ranges (which should catch about 99% of guys shooting rifles) is because it’s super accurate & super simple. You open it then type in the distance, temp & elevation, make a wind call, and bam you’re on target. It gives you the firing solution in a super clean format without adding more decimal places; just the numbers you need to dial. It doesn’t go crazy with coriolis or spin drift or aerodynamic jump…all of which occur, but in something like a Cd vs Mach (point mass solver) any error in inputs while setting up the rifle can lead to rather large errors in the firing solution. As with any app, make sure you have a true zero using ten shots. That’ll give you the true center of your cone of fire. 3-5 shots aren’t enough and will make you think you have a “wandering zero”. Then shoot out at distance, say 6-800yds, 10 shots again, looking at the height of the group versus your calculator. If you have a good average velocity measured by a chronograph, I’ve rarely seen the need to true by changing either MV or BC. But for shorter ranges (given the small amount of shots recorded over a chronograph, the inaccuracy of photocell chronos, etc) I prefer tweaking the MV by 10-20fps to true. After that, if you’re good at judging both wind speed & direction then you’ll find this app to be incredibly accurate for minimal effort on your part. Haven’t found any other calculator that’s as accurate or easy to true up a rifle with at non-extreme ranges..Hurleybird JohnsonVersion: 1.3.3

Great tool could be betterAwesome tool as you can input your custom rifles and rounds. But there are two things that would make it so much better. First it would be nice to be able to adjust the increments for yardage in the chart. I use this for my competition .22LR and it’s awesome for custom setups for sure! The second thing is it would be nice to be able to pull custom rounds across to your similar caliber rifles. The rifles need to be linked directly to a caliber when you input them so you can pull your custom rounds across the different rifles instead of having to input them individually every time you input a new rifle..The_Original_Spartan007Version: 1.3.3

Killer appAs a new shooter, I was getting very close to my 12" steel targets at 560 yards within just 2 or 3 shots with the instant calcs from the app's "solution" page and plugging in my wind. I could not be happier with this app... Save for possibly a utilities section of basic converters for MOA -> Mil, etc. Even the inclusion of a basic calculator to avoid having to switch apps would be nice. Very satisfied, worth $10..Tripslip38Version: 1.2.0

Great App, Must if you own a scoped rifleHas an ability to True the ballistic calculation to be spot on. It calls it Velocity Calibration. Was looking so a simple implementation of this as seen on the Magpul videos without spending hundreds on another PDA. Overall I like it a lot. It's simple and straight to the point. Like it better than Bullet Flight(cheapest edition). If you own a scoped rifle and want to shoot accurate with it, this is a must..ManChild 762Version: 1.2.3

Great AppI've been using the App for over a year now and it works great! Plug in your load info and you're 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! Update Still working great after 3 phones and 5 years..Chicken Dr.Version: 1.3.3

New User CommentsAppear 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..NacnudJrVersion: 1.2.9

Update Fixed the Crashing BUT......selecting the graph tab only shows me a blank white page. Nice addition to an otherwise top notch ballistic solver but that aspect is not working on my iphone. The graphs of these apps are pretty unusable by me anyway. It's better handled on a PC with software, say like, Sierra's Infinity program. Those graphs are more useable, IMO...I just wanted to check it out and compare it to the other solvers graphs on the app store. Gonna go fuss with it some more to see if there're any other quirks..Seven-OneVersion: 1.1.0

Worth itGreat features. The free programs just weren't up to the task. In particular, I wanted to set the rifle zero in one fixed atmosphere, then carry the rifle into another. The free programs won't do this. It will also adjust the muzzle velocity to get the best fit to actual range experience. Now, if it would also make a best fit based on varying the ballistic coefficient....Pilgrim ShadowVersion: 1.2.5

Perfect resource for long range shootingI've been using this app for over two years and it is fantastic. If you input correct data you get perfect results. I've gotten three of my guns out to 1200 yards with good dope from shooter. I find inputing G7 data works much better for anything out past about 600 yds. Measure your velocity, input the G7 BC and go shoot..RPR shooterVersion: 1.3.0

Really SolidI've tried several ballistics apps for the iPhone and believe this is the best one. Great interface and features, some other apps boast more features but in my experience don't work as well and are buggy. Logical and intuitive and accurate..StoutheartsVersion: 1.2.5

No SolutionThe 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..Travelin SSVersion: 1.2.9

Very SolidHaving bought most of the ballistic apps, this is the best I have used. While it takes a bit to understand how it works, it gives alot of capabilities other Ballistic apps lack. As a 1000 yard competitive shooter, this app has value..AtxeagleVersion: 1.2.0

PerfectDon't listen to the guys above that say its a terrible app. It's awesome a lot of time was obviously put in this making it. If you know your rifle and bullets like any long range shooter should this is what your lookin for. Put me right on at 1100 yards, proof is in the puddin. So don't be discouraged by the few no nothing's up top..Lr precisionVersion: 1.2.5

Simply the best!Calculated values confirmed in the field for 7.62 NATO (Siera 155 #2156) and 5.56 NATO (60 Vmax). No more computer runs and spreadsheet calcs to include Coriolis effects, look angle, and lead values needed to create ballistics cards. Shooter saves hours of time. Best money I ever spent for a ballistics calculator. If you shoot a precision rifle you need this app. Confirmed.DegouteVersion: 1.2.0

Highly recommended!This is my "go-to" app for all of my rifle shooting. If you don't know how to use the app, it can be confusing- but that's cause it has so much to offer. After you download it, go to the website and learn how to fully utilize the app..Candice HornerVersion: 1.3.0

Advanced capabilities for advanced shootersWhile the app does require you to know (or estimate) some things about your rifle and ammunition to be useful, it's among the best for shooters looking to make precise shots at varying distances or under varying conditions. Looking for Bluetooth/ Kestrel support in a future release, but currently very good..@J11DVersion: 1.2.5

Worth the moneyManaged to get hits on a 10" gong at 1200 in 5 rounds with this app. First time shooting long range and using a $200 vortex crossfire, so I'm sure the app calculations were much more accurate than my scope turrets, but I was only off by a few moa and able to adjust from there. Very happy with the purchase..DadadadinosaurVersion: 1.3.1

New update is greatLove the update! I like that you can calibrate now, nice for guys without a chronograph. Range card is cool too!.J-hunt bcVersion: 2.3.1

Distance step adjustabilityOverall great app! I been using this app for quite a long time without a problem. Somehow the newer version doesn’t not feature the same adjustments as previous versions. Ie the ability to set the distance increments finer for accurate compensation. IMHO a indispensable feature for the app. Please consider adding this back into the app..MikeBrissVersion: 1.3.3

Best ballistic calc out thereAwesome program never go to the range without it well worth the price..PeetypabloVersion: 1.2.1

Always worksI have had this app for at least five years. I have seen my buddies with some others an we have seen different numbers generated but mine always works bang on. That's what counts at the end of the day.SPITZEGESCHOSSEVersion: 1.3.0

Overall goodUser friendly, but it does need to have the ability to calculate a rifles zero with a known point of impact at a known range... Say you hit 3.5" high at 500 yards.... At what distance is the rifle zeroed?? The nightforce exbal program has this and i use it all the time. Thanks, keep the updates coming.Bingo1010Version: 1.2.3

Ballistics CalculatorOpportunity to add your data so reloaders will like it. However, not enough ammo ballistics are added. No CCI ammo in 22lr but you can add it yourself. My data did not result in the ballistics data from CCI but some data was not entered as it was unknown. I look forward to more updates..ThePONVersion: 1.2.0

Shooter: Ballistic Calculator Negative Reviews

What have you done to this program?You have ruined this program! It was a great, simple to use program. Now it is over-complicated and just garbage! Copying ammo from one gun to another has been ridiculously difficult, and now it is apparently gone. The graph is gone. Thanks for ruining this program!!.Steve32TNVersion: 2.1.2

UpdateI just downloaded the “update” and all the changes are so drastic and non user friendly I would go back to the previous version in a nano second. It’s so bad I’m going to delete the app and download bullet manufacturers version..OktohuntVersion: 2.1.2

Update without documentationThe support for this is app is beyond terrible. App on iOS was updated, now the atmospheric settings and zero settings are changed and the preferences access is lost. Super frustrating..Michael.kavanaughVersion: 2.1.2

Not what it seemsIn order to use this you will have to buy a shooters bible etc. that has the printed specs for the bullet you wish to use and manually enter the data for each load. This is NO library of different loads--e.g. Remington, Winchester, Federal --not there . You must chose the bullet--nosler etc. from an incomplete list--and then look up velocity in a printed source--shooter's bible for example--the is NO data for Remington Accutip loads for example. This is not worth $0.99 let alone $9.99. I wish I could get a refund. This has no value for the shooter at all: since you have to look up the data you need in an outside source you might as well copy the trajectory onto a piece of paper and tape it to your rifle..FotoniksVersion: 1.1.0

Lacking featuresPros: Profile syncing, Good operation manual online Cons: Rarely updated, clunky UI, old bullet library, lacks features The app is really showing its age, particularly when compared to competitors like StrelokPro. (Current version is nearly 5 years old, whereas StrelokPro updates almost weekly.) My two biggest complaints are that I have to select the gun and ammo EVERY TIME I open the app instead of just picking up where I last left off and that the bullet library is generic and missing modern bullet offerings..PCLazarusVersion: 1.3.3

BewareUnless you know ever specification of your weapon, including barrel twist and everything, this app will be worthless to you. It doesn't have a list of weapons, it just goes of specifications, so don't think your going to type in 30-06, federal soft points, etc... and find out the ballistics, you even have to know the diameter of the bullet, it doesn't ask for a brand or anything. I wish they would explain that in there description, would have saved me ten bucks!.C ArnyVersion: 1.2.5
