Ballistics App

You can still get Strelok Pro on Android devices via the Huawei or Samsung app stores. If you're using a iPhone, no luck.
GeoBallistics looks like a promising app, but I have yet to try it.

Strelok Pro no longer exists. I have it, I never used it and it has been removed from the App Store so cannot be updated.

Yep What he said.
I’m not sure how intuitive the stand alone app is. Assuming it works, it’s a small cost vs what we spend on the other things. Of course, you need good data in to give good data out.
I really like strelok pro. I understand it’s not available now with the sanctions though. If/when mine stops working I’ll probably go with the AB app. I found the 4DOF interface clunky and annoying. Strelok just has a lot of nice features. There’s even a library of reticles for different scopes and you can play around with different targets at various ranges. I’ll be bummed when it stops working.
I downloaded and played with a half dozen different apps and didn't like any of them. Few seem to be good for adding in your own data. I don't at all understand the obsession with reticles. I have never once needed a picture of my reticle to know where to aim.
I like the iSnipe app as it is very configurable and easy to add in rifles and different loads/bullets etc. I'm just not currently confident it is giving me the best data. Not sure why but the last few times I used it, the calculated result didn't seem to be correct.
The reticle thing isn't really useful for showing you how to aim. I mean I guess someone could use it like that but that seems like a silly thing to rely on. I did find it useful when shopping scopes though and wanting to get an idea how a reticle would look at different distances, etc when I couldn't see the real scope in person. Mostly just a gimmick to play around with.
Many of these calculators are using the same AB solvers. Strelok, JBM, Sig BDX, and Kestrel all agree really well for me.

The reticle thing is for those who cannot understand FFP optics and turrets matching reticle subtentions. Yesterday at the range I was again reminded of the extensive absolute BS that many shooters think they “know”. In another recent conversation hitting big steel at 1K with a precision rifle was celebrated. Many shooters are not educated, but they also are not interested in considering better tools and procedures.
LOL, yes, many shooters don't know sh!t about their equipment.

I use Strelok pro and recently got a Kestrel elite with AB, still figuring it out
