Description

Ballistics Buddy is an application designed to calculate the scope's Elevation and Windage adjustments for long range shooting. It works by calculating the bullet trajectory relative to the scope's line of sight, where the trajectory is influenced by gravity, the aerodynamic drag, the wind, your specific rifle setup, air density (temperature, pressure/altitude, and humidity), Gyroscopic spin drift, and the Coriolis force. The aim of this application is to be quick and easy to use in the field, while still being able to capture all of the significant factors which influence the bullet's trajectory.

Comments on Ballistics Buddy for Android

★★★★★ I have used this for the last moor than 20 years and going for moor if I can get me and going again it's freezing on me

★★★★★ It's pretty decent, and I really like the fact that it's free. There are some ballistics-related apps that the developers are charging way too much money for (looking at your Applied Ballistics!) so I will definitely stay with this one. I would, however, like to see a major change to the way the app operates. Rather than having ammunition and rifle data stored together in the same "rifle" slot, forcing you to repeat a lot of redundant data entry if you use different ammo in the same rifle or multiple rifles with the same ammo, there should be a "rifle" page and a separate "ammo" page.

★★★★★ Awesome calculator. A lot of the poor review are by people who don't have the info to make this app useful. If you don't have the data it asks for then you're not going to get accurate repeatable shooting solutions. Each element is necessary to find a solution. Scope height, barrel twist, muzzle velocity, etc. are mandatory and different for each gun.

★★★★★ Works well. Dope is acceptably accurate within a couple tenths of a rad compared to my accurateness dope card. Now to figure out if my dope card or the app is off those tenths lol

★★☆☆☆ I'm not sure what to think yet. In my attempt to start getting the info set up yet, I thought I set preferences to inches, feet, etc. However, when I download elevation and barometer, the info shows metric. Not that great a deal even if only annoying. But when I try to convert them over, 283 meters elevation becomes 283 feet. Similar results with the barometric pressure. Other values also stay determined to utilize the metric system as well, in spite of my saved preferences...

★★☆☆☆ Way too complicated. It should be able to enter a gun make and model and caliber, bullet weight and you would think from that it could calculate from there. Yeah right. First thing it asks for is muzzle velocity. Hello! Not everybody had a way to find out muzzle velocity. If I did, I wouldn't be downloading this app.
