Suggestion on ballistic app

[bowman3899]

Any suggestions on a ballistic app for a phone. Pros, cons, ease of use. I have a droid and seen many apps for ballistics, some free, some get expensive. I don't mind paying for 1 but I would like to hear first hand experience before i buy one.

I have "Shooter".  $9.95 and it works good

Best app i've seen for droid is Strelok, what makes it better is that its free, and works as good as my friends paid for app.

+(bunches). Me too. Dial in with 100 yd zero, and 8000-10000Ft of changes in DA. It works well.

I've looked at strelok how easy is it to use? I like the free part( yes I know I a titewad). The shooter app, is it easier than strelok?

Applied Ballistics is tops for me

 So far all I have is a mildot calculator on my fon.  And a range finder that uses the camera and height of target. 
 But no ballistic app yet.

  Another vote for strelock. You can always upgrade to the paid version later.

Strelok here also.  Not sure if the other apps offer a wide range of scopes and reticles but it's interesting to vary your zero range to get the lines/dots to come out on easy to remember yardages.

For example an odd zero yardage like 227yrd might bring the marks to 350, 450, 525, 575, ect.......

Then it has some crazy stuff that's above my 3rd grade ejumicain level.

My shooting places are either within some form of cellular coverage, or I can plan ahead enough before I leave coverage.  With that in mind, jbmballistics.com is easily the best and most up to date all the time.  Plus, it's no-charge.

If I'm going to be planning ahead anyway, I like QuickTARGET Unlimited the best for pre-printing a trajectory table.  It'll use whatever drag model you have/use, including:
G1
G2
G5
G6
G7
G8
GL
GS (9/16" SAAMI)
GS (Don Miller)
RA4
Soviet 1943, or
Brit 1909

That enough for ya?  ;-)

It'll also let you put up to 6 different BCs in, with velocity breaks between them.  The down-side to it is you have to buy QuickLOAD to get it (at least I don't think it's available separately).  If you do, though, it'll import all your firing data from QL if you want, and of course you can specify _everything_ about the gun, target, sights, and environmental conditions.  It's really, truly and outstanding calculator.

I got the free strelok app and played a lil with it today so far I like it. It doesn't have my particular scope but it does have similar mildot reticle. I checked the pay version and my scope was not listed there either. I really got it for the dope adjustment anyway. I will see how close it is maybe next time I get to go to the range.

i have had good usage out of the berger and hornady app for my droid phone.  i use both from time to time.
 never had anything else so i cant say whats better, both do what i need it to so im good.

I think I'm gonna drop the $30 and get the applied ballistics app. Here's a tutorial from the man himself Brian Litz

very nice, but i have what may be a dumb question.
 a ballistic app of any kind that works is great but - on my 300 wsm tactical rifle i topped it with a leupold vx3 with the c.d.s. system and have a turret built from leupold with some really accurate information and all i have to do is range it -dial it and kill it. its ACCURATE i know out to 1070 yards, thats as far as i can turn the dial- one shot hits every time.
question is, using this set up what else is anybody looking for ?  the only down fall is this turret is set for this load on this rifle, if i want to move it to my wifes 308 i'd have to get another turret  for it but that seems simple. just asking.
