Ballistic calculator app for Smartphone?

[FrankieT]

I have used both iSnipe and KAC Bullet Flight successfully. They both provide firing solutions to less than .5MOA of each other.

I snipe and AB

Both are awesome if you put the right data in

The ol saying goes garbage in = garbage out.

I use Stretlok and iSnipe. Both have their uses and are pretty good

I've used 'Shooter' out past 1100 yards. Works excellent. Correct me if I'm wrong but I understand that Bryan Litz was involved with this programs development. Costs $10 and was well worth it. It saves all of my loads for all of my guns along with any other load recipe info and notes that I want to enter. Also has a fantastic bullet library that includes info on bullet lengths so it can calculate spin drift.

My only complaint is that it doesn't automatically grab barometer info from my phones sensor, I have to open a 2nd app for that and then type the reading into shooter. The shooter app does access the compass and level sensors for calculating angled shots as well as coriolis drift and coriolis rise. So far I haven't found coriolis helpful at the distances I've been shooting at.

I have played with a bunch and keep landing on Knights Armament Bullet Flight

I use iSnipe and am quite happy with it, but if I were to start over, I think I'd go with Ballistics AE. One of the episodes of Precision Rifle Podcast had Brian Litz from Berger Bullets on and talked in depth about the development and application of it. Brilliant guy and sounds like a great app.

For the Android guys, Range Buddy isn't bad but it does have a horrible user interface.

Shooter, great tool.

I'd be curious to see if the solver algorithm is the same in almost if not all of them.

holy hell

isnipe $21
ballistic AE $28
Applied Ballistics $40
Shooter $14

those are some pretty pricey apps!

I use Ballistic AE and... Eh. I'm looking to try Isnipe next.

Isnipe uses Litz's BC's.

And while maybe not his calculations, BC is the most important.

Depends. The value in using Applied Ballistics is the custom drag curves IMHO. So although accurate BC values are great, what point in the bullets flight are they accurate? The calculations in Applied ballistics that correct BC based on stability are where I see it being most powerful.

I find these apps great to get you close. After that, it's up to the shooter.

Shooting Solution Free... works for me

Out all the ones I tried my favourite is Ballistic AE, and it's even better on a iPad.
