Range Report Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

#401
Great app. My wish list is:
1. Ability to calculate holds based on the mil dot. ie. based on the caliber and ammo, what distance does each dot correspond to?
2. Mil-dot ranging to be able to specify the target size in metric (not sure if it can do this, but I can't seem to find it)

I just purchased this app a few weeks ago, and hVe just experienced a couple glitches I guess you could say. I'm using an iPhone 4S with the newest software (6.1.3). When I input my data into the range card and go to input a target picture from my library, the target screen, where I would input my hit data goes black and/or resets to the default target. Just curious if I'm doing something to cause this? Thanks for your time.

been there done that.....doesn't help for the HUD at least not all the time. seems like if i go back to it in a short time with will still have my settings but after a longer wait it goes back to "no profile selected" on the HUD.

odd... do u also have it default to the hud on load?... are you running any "app killer" programs to close things that your not using?

Was thinking. The ability to setup the program with a particular bullet, BC, Velo etc. and email it like a vCard to someone. Once they receive it and click on it, it is installed and opened.

So I could email it to a friend and they could be ready to go. Just a thought. Hope it helps!

I have skimmed this thread and may have missed it somewhere....

How about Wind "brackets"?

A setting to allow you to set it to "bracket" wind with a High and Low input.... In turn you can get a "bracketed" solution in Adjustments and a reticle page showing the holds for High and Low...

Just another thought...

Hey, guys, this thing isn's supposed to do EVERYTHING!!!

The more you want it to do, the more difficult it makes it to use . . . don't forget that.

Jeezzz, by the time you put all of that crap in, the window time for your shot has passed and you'll have to put all new data in, and by then, it'll be gone again.

KISS . . .

Well, since this is a wish list....

Hi,
How come when printing my range card, wind velocity (10m/s) and wind angle (90°) do not show up in the upper part of the page?
On the other hand, correction appear down the page in the bullet trajectory. It is kind of confusing when printing different wind velocities.
Am I the only one to have this issue?

Love this app! The only thing I could possibly think of to wish for is when using the LOS indicator, I believe the only way you can use it is by laying the iPhone flat and parallel to the gun. I have one of those knights armament iphone attachers, and It functions with the screen facing the shooter. I was wondering if you can make it so the LOS indicator can be used in this configuration?

I downloaded this app for my new Android phone and it does not work. I tried to resolve the issue with the developer and after 2 emails back and forth he stopped responding. Its been a week or so now and nothing. I'm sure the problem has to do with this being a phone that just came out (samsung S4), however now I'm stuck with a useless icon and out $30.

I'm sure he's working on getting the issue fixed up, I honestly would not worry about it. Give it a little time and I'm sure he'll get the app updated.

I don't have an issue with it taking time for him having to fix it. I have an issue with him stopping all communication... This isn't a 99 cent app.. so I do expect good/fast customer service.

I haven't had time to read through all the recent posts again, but I would really like to be able to enter a range/wind/direction instead of using the slider/wheels and have it spit out a correction.

Nice program. I have a question regarding sending target data. I email it from Ballistic AE on my ipad but when I open it on my apple computer the text is fine but the target picture is all number gibberish. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance

Lost my post #'s and the last few posts were all numbered 1. Strange, but it looks like it's finally working and I've moved up to post #2.

Absolutely!

Also, this might even be in the program somewhere and I don't know about it, but can a small function be added to convert Mils to MOA and vice versa.
I was shooting today and the rifle I was shooting was in MOA and I got all screwed up. I tried finding it on the app, but couldn't find it for the life of me.

Had to resort to the calculator on my phone......which made my head hurt. :)

Just got the app and it is by far one of the hardest ballistic apps to figure out. Not because it has a lot of features, but because it's input system is not as clear as it should be.
So my thoughts...
"Favorites" should be first, and really it should be called "Ballistics Profiles". (like what it's call in the other HUD and Range tabs, it's not consistent or clear)
I didn't know what it was a "Favorite" of... favorite target, load, distance rifle... just didn't make sense at first.
The "Trajectory" tab is mislabeled too. It's more like an "Inputs" tab. Only at the very end of it do you actually calculate trajectories.

The fact that all you can do is load, view, and delete favorites from the "Favorites" tab is a waste. This tab is under utilized. You need to be able to modify your favorites' inputs too. Or why not be able to create a Favorite in the the "Favorite" tab? That would make sense to people.

Saving a favorite was almost impossible to find... it should be at the bottom of the "Trajectory" tab or the top of the tab. Since favorites has it's own tab, it should be real easy to save them. Better yet save ALL trajectory tables as a favorites.

Why do I have to load a profile in the "Range" and "HUD" tab after I already loaded it from "Favorites" tab?
It's annoying to have to load a profile for each tab.

The "Target" tab is a nice feature but it's not linked to any profiles/favorites, and here again I find myself typing in info that could be just "loaded" in when I load a favorite. These targets need to be linked to the favorites some way or another. They really are just separate entities by themselves.

Most all other apps have better profile management then Ballistic AE. The creator needs to look at some other apps to see what I mean and get a better input system.


Bottom line:
All I really want to do is load a profile enter in that day's weather conditions and have all the tabs be updated to use them.
Give me a ballistic table tab, range finder tab, reticle tab and the HUD tab with all the info loaded and ready to use.
If I could get a matching reticle with ranges and wind like iStrelok does, it would be a complete solution.

Can someone help me? Am I doing something wrong?

This keeps poping up

Cannot Calculate
Unable to calculate ballistics for
these condidtions. pm_tj_derivs():
Y(d->V) >DBL_MIN

I am trying to get the trajectory for .223 rem 77gr SMK moving at 2680 fps. I cant get any of the 223 rem to work except for the 55gr V-Max which I had in my favorites from a while back that I did.
