BulletFlight
Knight's Armament BulletFlight is a military-grade ballistic computer that provides quick solutions in the field. BulletFlight does not output information in table format but rather dynamically gives you the solution you need now to make that shot. Current weather conditions including temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction can be input, as well as angles to the target as measured by the built-in accelerometer. The app then provides highly detailed solutions out to 3000 meters. Your weapon profile includes your scope MOA/mRad per click, and hence when you provide a range to the target, the app will simply show how many clicks you need to change the scope by for that range and wind speed.
Includes over 1400 projectiles including carefully-measured G7 BC database for VLD bullets. BulletFlight's G7 data is courtesy of Bryan Litz and I recommend his book: http://www.appliedballisticsllc.com/index_files/Book.htm
Up to five ballistic coefficients with corresponding velocity thresholds may be used for each profile to enhance accuracy, or use a single G1, G7, or G8 value.
Several built-in profiles for the Army's M110 and M110C semi-automatic precision rifle, the Army's new XM2010 sniper rifle, the 14.5 inch SR16 rifle, The 50 BMG M107, .308 M40A3, .308 M24, and the 6.5mm KAC PDW allow you to get started quickly. You may alter these profiles, or add new ones.
This app is currently in combat use by military snipers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Features: Android-specific interface.Built-in profiles for common military rifles, but easily add more custom profiles. Accurate bullet database with most major brands. 3000 meters range (2000 using simple screen). Fast and accurate ballistic computation using G1, G7, or G8 ballistic coefficients. Easy to use interface yet powerful and full featured. All relevant data on screen all at once. User interface designed to minimize chance of input errors. "Simple Screen" with distance wheel, but also "Full" screen where any exact range may be used.Output in inches, cm, MOA, Mils, and scope clicks. Option for Metric units. In most cases imperial and metric are visible at the same time. Direct input for scopes with either MOA or mRad metric input (such as Schmidt & Bender). Calculates 360 degree wind drift using either degree of O'Clock format input. Wind speed may be specified in either miles-per-hour or meters-per-second. Advanced atmospheric model. Uses GPS to locate nearest weather station and then automatically gets weather data and altitude (for most locations assuming compatible weather station) for ballistic computation. Sight-in weather may be logged and stored for automatic normalization to standard conditions. So you may sight in at any temperature or altitude and later be accurate at any other temperature or altitude. Built-in accelerometer will detect angle for improved accuracy. Computes actual BCs from collected data. Some users will do this for each log of ammo before a mission. Built-in mil-dot range calculator. Calculates bullet twist / stability with a highly-accurate formula. Computes bullet spin drift. Built-in help screen.

Needs updated bullet library. Applied ballistics is leaps and bounds ahead of this app. There are so many new bullets put there that this doesn't have. And it's not like they are brand new either. The ELD hornady line is over 2 years old now and not one of them is in the library
Works perfectly, easy to use, worth the price, many nice options.
Needs a backup feature so when you get a new phone you dont have to reload all data
It works!
Every time you go to the -Range Card- page you have to enter the -Range Step- in metric units. Only the steps in -yards- are memorized.
Works well. I'd like to see some of the newer projectiles included
Very happy with this app. Works well om my Samsung s5. Great response when I needed help
Works well if you put in all the data and update your weather.
It works good on an iphone, but I have a Samsung S6.....where is the hard menu on this app? No support for a $30 app......
I would give it 5 stars but it doesn't get the local weather with my Droid Maxx. I sent an email and they answered it within 10 minutes. Turns out some of the weather servers changed their name. The fix will be in the next version. Can't wait to add that 5th star.
I am totally disappointed that I spent $30 on this app! Strelok does WAY more than this app does! The GUI leaves a lot to be desired, and the local weather features do not update correctly in the app so it can provide corrections. Uninstalled, and requesting my money back......
This program is almost as good as the Horus Vision ATRAG. It's been spot on as long as I place in the correct data. Also it automatically puts in the BC's for the given projectiles taking out the guess work. I think its been worth every penny! J.K
Im not sure i completely understand how to use this software. A manual or guide would be greatly appreciated. I would love to have an update with some kind of visual output for the calculations.... i will leave my rating at a 3 until i fully understand what it is i am dealing with....
Read all the reviews, looked over the website and took the plunge. Initially, it worked fine on the Nexus 7 tablet but like all good things it had to end. Stopped working, would not reset and had to be uninstalled (lost all that data!) and then reinstalled. When I called the developer they were all out. No problem there I understand. Why support a $30 app. For those of you considering dropping the $30 and buying this app - I would pause a bit - the bugs aren't all worked out. It's a bit frustrating to lose several hours of data because of some software bug. Give this program some thought before you decide - personally I should have waited.
Very slow screen response. No more info than the free apps. I cant believe I paid $30 for it. Good marketing description got me. I want a refund!
This is working great on my Galaxy S3. Pretty easy to use. There is no export function, so you can't email yourself the drop chart for printing. I contacted the developer and got an immediate responce. He is working on a solution, something other than taking a screenshot.
On an iPhone this is great software. But on android this runs like crap. The whole things lags and runs slow. Its been the same issue since release please fix.
Compared exact same inputs against field firing solutions. At 1000 it is almost 10 moa different from FFS. 1800 nearly 30moa different. Not too impressed.
Crashes every time I try to use current local weather.
Has everything I needed in a ballistics program. I never go to the range without it. Definitely worth every penny for the Military version.
I have been using the free shooter app for years and its very Intuitive. After paying $29.99 for this app I found it difficult at best to navigate or change/edit data I've input. Whats more the bullet library is close to Obsolete and have had to manually input data. The ONE good thing about this app is, the calculations are much closer then my previous app. my opinion, if this app were more intuitive and the bullet library brought up to date it would be worth the money as is needs 2 b free.
