favorite ballistic app

Really!! Isnipe is not made for Android????

Pretty bad when think of the growing market share of Android. No way I would have a 600.00 Ipad in the field when I could use one of my 120.00 Android tablets with 3G and a micro SD card....

Applied Ballistics looks great think I will pick it up.
 
I actually have isnipe, istrelok, nikon spot on and applied ballistics. I find the Applied Ballistics the easiest to use. I'm not sure if they got all the fixes done with isnipe. Haven't used it since I got AB mobile.

I use both iSnipe and Applied Balistics on my iPad. Always wanted to do a side by side comparison to see which one is more accurate, never had a chance yet.

Good luck.

Its next to impossible to know if your scope is tracking properly. So you wouldn't be able to make if a fair test.

A lot more goes into tracking tests then people realize. So far with the info I've collected from different companys, no one has done a proper tracking test.
 
They're accurate well beyond that. Inaccuracies come from bad inputs from users (garbage in = garbage out) and users not knowing things like the difference between SMOA and TMOA.

Totally agree. This is also why I only input muzzle velocity as an initial condition to get me close. I let the solver determine based on observations for a given set of environmental conditions what MV actually is. Chrony is a good starting point, after that..... no use to me.

What would be the best option available for Android

Strelok, Shooter, and Applied Ballistics are all available. Start with Strelok since it is free and see how it works for you. If you find it falls short, AB was well worth the money in my opinion. I also like to support a team of guys that do so much work publishing scientific data to the community.

The solver is one of the most misused features of these apps. It's a great feature, but I've seen people use it to "true their BC" when their turrets said 1 CLICK = 1/4" at 100y and they had the app set to MOA.

People often bugger up the environmental settings because they don't know the difference between absolute and relative pressure. One of the best features of AB mobile is that it can use density altitude as its enviromental input insteat of T,P & RH.

They also use a MV that was recorded at a much different temperature, and fail to account for the change in MV when the temperature changed. Or they use an MV they recorded when the barrel was new, before it sped up after break-in or before it started to slow down due to wear. Or they use data from a different lot of components.

People input sloppy/inaccurate data and then expect an accurate answer. When they don't get it, they start up about "theoretical" vs. "real life".
