    I use Strelok, it was free and works well. Plenty of other options around too.

    Strelok is good, they have a free and a paid version. Also many are using 'Shooter' which works well and has the 'Litz' validated BC info for various long range projectiles, small cost of about $10 from memory.

    I use Shooter these days, but have tested it side by side with Strelok and there was nothing in it, it will just come down to the different 'look and feel' of the apps, as to what you prefer.

    Strelok works well for me, does everything I need it to do.
    It usually says the same as what Shooter or JBM ballistics (online) says.

    Also use shooter aswell but have used strelok too and it's fine just a little clunky for me. Had bullet flight to the expensive one was OK but to many frills and whistles for what I do. Shooter works for me and is very straight foward

    So strelok std and shooter seem highly/liked used, sounds like the place to start.



    One of the reasons I didnt get a Samsung phone/tablet were similar comments on compatibility (having bought a Samsung TV and found its software sucked I just didnt want to repeat that), Caldwell also said they had tested the Asus 8inch with no issues and it was only $100US, no phone/3g capability but that seems to push the costs up hugely and I dont need it, the samsung was also $50+us more.

    Steven, I originally got the free strelok to try out. Then purchased the pro version as it had a lot more reticle options. (It was about 2year ago iIRC)
    Since then though I think the free one might have all the reticles...

    The free one has heaps of reticles, but only gives each reticle at full magnification. Pro one gives you numbers for the reticle at any magnification. There are probably other differences too, but thats one I've noticed.
