Applied Ballistics - Android Apps

State of the art ballistics solver by Bryan Litz, Applied Ballistics. Calculate accurate fire control solutions for long range rifle shooting. Accounts for all major and minor trajectory variables including the use of measured G7 BC's and even the option to use custom drag curves for specific bullets. Output is available in several formats including single shot 'HUD' view, table output, graph output, and the highly effective reticle output view, in which you can see a single shot or trajectory trace in the context of a specific scope reticle which responds to magnification adjustments and 'dialing on' elevation.

Ballistic calibration feature allows user to 'train' the software to match a specific rifle based on observed impacts at long range.

The Applied Ballistics Mobile app is a professional tool intended for the serious long range shooter.

Feature List
  • Firearm/ammo/target organized into savable profiles
  • Bullet library with over 1,300 bullets to save you from having to look up BC information
  • Custom drag curves (i.e. rather than using G1 or G7, Applied Ballistics has measured and developed specific drags for specific bullets, no other calculator does this)
  • Support for multiple BCs at specified velocities (aka "stepped bcs")
  • Sync your profiles to the cloud so you never have to worry about losing all of your data
  • Load atmospherics based on GPS location and nearest weather station
  • Load atmospherics via your Bluetooth-enabled Kestrel
  • Support for Spin Drift and Coriolis Effect
  • Reticle views that support scope magnification levels and accounting for what you've dialed-up on your turret
  • HUD solution view for fast re-calculations for changing target distances, wind and lead
  • Doesn't need cell/internet service to run calculations
  • Advanced ballistic calibration unlike any other software available to date (aka "truing" or "trajectory validation")
  • Distance, look angle, and target azimuth calculator built-in
  • Zero-atmosphere support
  • Support for auto-adjusting muzzle velocity based on powder temperature
  • Graph your bullet's flight with drop/wind graphs. Also compare with other ammo in one graph
  • Send trajectory output via email
  • "Night" color theme if you prefer the dark-look

Best Android based ballistic app available
I've used five of the available ballistics apps for Android, this is by far the best; a close second would be Shooter. The FFP support and the Horus reticles were a great addition in the last update. I was waiting for the H-59 for a few months now. I would like to see the ability to edit profiles that have been sync'd to the web using a computer, then sync back to the Android device. If you chrono your ammo and put all the information in correctly, you will have first round hits pretty much wherever you go. I test ammo at 4670ft; when I hit the 1000 yard range at 5800ft I'm pretty much right on all the way out to the 1000 yard steel.
