I've been searching for shooting related software and apps. Basically anything that related in any way to firearms or shooting. The problem with apps is that most of them are not rated on the various app stores. Perhaps because they are targeted to a limited such a limited audience.
Anyway I'm going to post here the ones that I've found first then follow up with some individual post with specific software or apps. I figure it would be useful to have one general thread to collect and share information.
Here is the list if what I have discovered so far. I'll post as much information that I know and edit/modify this list as others post corrections or suggestions.
The List:[/SIZE=6]
Ballistic AE [/SIZE=4]
http://ballisticapp.com/
Uses: Ballistic Calculator, Range Finding Tool, Record Target Data, HUD Correction Calculator
Features: Extensive load library, Saves data to cloud, sharable across multiple devices.
Operating System: iPhone Only
Cost: $13 Standard Edition, $30 Advanced (sometimes on sale for $15)
Notes: I currently use this as my range and to workup custom hand loads. Has a ton of features but once you learn them it's a useful tool.
Strelok[/SIZE=4]
http://www.borisov.mobi/
Uses: Ballistic Calculator, HUD Reticle simulator showing holdovers.
Features: Extensive library of scope reticle images. Large Bullet and Cartridge library. Save data to dropbox and transfer between operating systems.
Operating System: iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 8, MAC.
Cost: Standard free on Android and $5 iOS, Pro version $10
Notes: I met a bunch of engineers from JPL at their club shoot at AGC. A few of them were using this instead of slide-rules. I figure if it's rocket scientist approved it should be more than good enough for a dumb-ass like me.
Nikon Spot On[/SIZE=4]
http://spoton.nikonsportoptics.com/spoton/spoton.html#:1
Uses: Allows users of Nikon scopes to calculate range for their specific reticle styles.
Features: Includes Ballistic table and field chart creator.
Operating System: iOS, Android, Web
Cost: Free
Notes: Quicker and Simpler to use than the two apps noted above when using a Nikon scope.
Shoot Yes![/SIZE=4]
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shoot-yes!/id915061352?mt=8
Uses: Primary use is to record and store shots on targets. Has extensive tools for reloaders including inventory tracking of reloading components as well as ammunition.
Features:
Operating System: iOS only
Cost: Free trial, $10 for all features
Notes: Just discovered this today seems useful but I'll edit this later once I learn more.
Target Scan[/SIZE=4]
http://www.targetshootingapp.com/wiki/TargetScan_App
Uses: Primary use is to record and store shots on Match targets by using the camera on your phone to snap a photo of the target the software calculates the target score.
Features: Ability to generate statistical analysis reports of shooting sessions and export reports.
Operating System: iOS and Android
Cost: $8-18 depending on version
Notes: I purchased this last thinking that I could manually touch the target to place shots. It does Not work that way. It is still a very powerfull tool. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5HFdcyrpstY

GeoBallistic[/SIZE=4]
https://geoballistics.com
Uses: This is a basic ballistic calculator but with a few additional useful features.
Features: Map mode where the user can pinpoint their location via GPS and draw on a map overlay to range targets. Also interfaces with the Weatherflow meter to record current weather conditions that impact the ballistic firing solution.
Operating System: iOS and Android
Cost: Limited Free version $15 full version
Notes: I discovered this app after purchasing the Weatherflow device. Overall its not as comprehensive as Strelock or Ballistic AE but the map ranging tool is unique and usefull. I tested various landmarks that I could see from my house and compared the readings against my laser range finder and I was surprised that the results were +/- 2yd. Not bad. Add the integration with the Wetherflow device which provides density altitude data and you have a very functional device similar to a high end Kestrel for $95. Thats not bad.
Here is a screen shot of the map view.
