    I use Ballistic: FTE. It's very good once you work it out.



    I don't use it for actually shooting though, I prefer a paper chart.

    I have both and both have me hitting 10" targets first round to 800 yards, yet to try further. Shooter is better if you need to adjust click values

    I'm using it on an iPhone and it's really annoying when it tells me that it can't find the weather data for my current location, because it only uses US based services for that. Not that I'd use it anyway, but it occasionally decides to tell me.


    Also it's non-intuitive to save a ballistic profile, you can't do it through the HUD, you have to calculate trajectory in the calculator screen and add to favourites from the results page

    Shooter is working very well for me on Android phone. First round hits 400-800yds, 2nd, 4th and 5th round hits at 920yds.

    Shooter also gives you the look angle directly to the input screen.

    Thumbs up from me.

    Price was about $13 NZ.

    Not once your used to it, and keep yer fingers away from the screen when using it !

    Worst part is using the small screen, obviously the bigger the better.

    If you want to edit the load you've already entered, a long touch will bring up the edit option.

    Pm me if you get stuck with it.
