If you just change the altitude input an nothing else (velocity or temp etc.), calculation appears inconsistent...
e.g. For 1000yds with one of my rifles Strelok gives the following
@0ft asl -> 38.18 MOA
@1000ft asl -> 35.62 MOA
@2000ft asl -> 35.76 MOA

An increase in altitude should result less drop (all other things equal) but for 2000ft asl case - drop calculated is more than that at 1000ft asl

The Hornady 4DOF calculator returns exactly the same drop for both 1000 and 2000 feet above sea level.

FWIW I get the promotion of the Applied Ballistics app, but having sat side-by-side with a user of that app, and simple old me with my working class Strelok Pro, the calculations from both apps returned to the same answer, and I hit the goat and he didn’t!

Just sayin’...
