I've had this for while but haven't really got "in depth" with learning all its capabilities until today...it isn't cheap at $30 for a ballistics app on your phone...but it does do a very nice job.
Gets atmospheric data from the internet for the nearest NOAA weather station ( barometric pressure, temp, humidity, wind speed) or you can enter it manually, altitude via phone GPS...can be set up to calculate muzzle velocity changes with temperature, you have to calibrate it for that based on actual range data (very handy function)...G1, G7, or custom drag functions...ballistic calibrations for extreme long range shooting (handy, but I'll never need it)...large selection of scope reticles (again, handy but not for me)...huge database of bullets and their specs...uses Bryan Litz's ballistics solver...figures in spin drift and coreolis effect (have to enter bullet length to enable spin drift)...customize display option (HUD or grid)...lots of good stuff.
Glad I got it...also available for Iphone.
