For grins and giggles I looked in the Google Play Store for a ballistics calculator app for my phone...and was really quite surprised to see all the bizarre choices. So, question is, does anyone here use one, and what one do you like best?
If I HAVE to lug around this annoying piece of irritating technology, I might as well get all the work out of it I can! :)
 
I've been using Strelok Pro from the Play Store.Can store multiple rifles, scopes, loads and easily swap back and forth. Only drawback is that it does not have preloaded data for factory loads as some others do. That can be an advantage if you're trying to help a buddy at the range who's shooting such.

Strelok Pro can also interface with a Kestral weather station if you're looking for that feature.
 
Shooter on iOS, Strelok, Winchester's app, Hornady's website, JBM's calculator, Handloads.com/calc.... All of them work. I most often use Shooter or Hornady's website, but I have several different ones on my mobile devices (2 phones, 2 tablets, 2 laptops, plus ballistic solvers on my range finder and my weather meter).
 
I like strelok, and Nikon spot-on since i have a bunch of nikons. Strelok has alot more inputs and functions. I like the reticle options as well.

I keep my primary rifles preprogrammed. I also have some balistic tables on my range finder and thats kinda nice.
 
Strelok works fine. I paid the $9.99 for the "shooter" app and prefer it most.
 
I use jbmballistics.com it's free.

Its a great web site, but being a web site instead of a phone app it won't work if you don't have a data connection. At the range I put my phone in "airplane" mode so I don't get pestered by popup ads when using the "free" apps.

Spot-on is a good place to start, even if you don't have a Nikon scope as it has a large selection of parameters for factory ammo.
