Berger vld

I shoot a 308 Winchester & a 300 Saum. With isnipe my rifles hit spot on out to any distance. This app is very user friendly and with a constant change in the weather isnipe is fast and easy to adjust to make a more precise hit on your target. I highly recommend that anyone that hunts, target and tactical shoots to try it. You wont be disappointed. Always remember, junk in junk out!! If the program is off then your input numbers are off.

Awesome tool!

Ive been using this app for over a year and I can tell you it is spot on. Ive been able to accuratly dial in 600 yard shots perfectly. The hold over diagrams are a great bonus. Would buy again 10/10! Spec: Remington 700P with Luepold Mark 4 LRT.

Fantastic! Pingggg-

I am so happy with this. Other PDA programs like this are at $70 or more. After a few tutorials on the web I was ready to go. LR shooting is fast becoming a big mainstream sport and if you are new this is perfect. Be sure I will pass this onto any one that asks me for advice on a iPhone ballistics app! Thanks Matt great work. Perfect and updates are always coming. Great app great price.

Good deal

I use it all the time.

Great App that does what it should!

I have had this app for years (almost 4 years I think) and love it. It is kept current with new cartridges and bullets for inputting your own load data. Works amazingly well as a ballistic calculator, especially when you cant access tables on the web (you only need data to download ambient conditions). A+ app!

Isnipe review

This app is great. I wish there was a non phone version on a independent calculator. I would get it.

Weather provider

After updating the weather provider stop working! Have to say its not the same until it gets fix.

Something is bad wrong!!!

Absolutely loved this app. But since the update, its really fd up on 4s. Really messing with my reloading! Just in time for season- convenient? Whatever-- guess Im back to the calculator, pen, paper and powder!!!

Weather Problem

As with the other reviews, the weather has quit working on isnipe. It worked good for a year and then it quit. Whats the deal? Does anybody know of another ballistics program similar to isnipe that has a reliable weather function?

Problem with weather

Just updated to 4.1.1 and the weather still appears to be incorrect as it is not the current temperature as it is off 10 degrees so maybe it is not showing the correct GPS location.

Just did update for ios8

Didnt do much. High dollar app that cant get weather right. Every time I update weather info, not only does the temp change back to Celsius, but wind angle doesnt change. Need to update bullet info as well as factory ammo. Come on guys, Im tring to use your stuff but your making it hard...

iSnipe Is Excellent, But Needs Weather Fix!!!

Ive been using iSnipe since its inception and have come to use it even more than the Ballistic app, which I also rate as one of the two best ballistics apps. Both apps are excellent, and both have a couple issues that need to be dealt with. But, one of the issues with iSnipe is weather. Using the weather input icon, which "should" automatically fill in the current weather, which it did months ago, no longer works and does nothing, except show a dialog stating "an error has occurred" and no weather is input. I tried changing between F and C and still no weather input. Yes, weather info can be input manually, but when this is a feature of this app, users should not have to go to another app for weather. This is not a new issue; it has not worked for several months, and several other reviewers have reported the same issue. Why hasnt this been fixed (a long time ago) in an update? The only other issue, which I consider a major issue I have with iSnipe, is the small list of ammunition to choose from. I realize that with the vast amount of ammunition available in so many calibers that it would be impossible to list them all, but this needs to be updated with a much larger database to select from. This is where the Ballistic app excels with a significantly larger ammunition database to choose from, including Litz ballistics info, which iSnipe doesnt have, but would be nice to see a selection of Litz ballistics to choose from in iSnipe. Except for these two issues, iSnipe is one of the two best ballistics apps available! Any of the others are sadly lacking and useless for a skilled shooter who requires accurate ballistics, particularly at long range!

AWESOME!!

A year ago, the longest Id ever shot was 400 yards, and with poor results too! In just one summer using iSnipe I can hit a 36" target at a mile consistently. As long as I put in the correct information and do my part when firing, I cant miss! Money well spent!

I Love This App!!!!

I am an avid hunter and I take great pride in knowing EXACTLY where my bullet is going when I pull the trigger. I dislike making creatures suffer. I also hate chasing wounded boar through the swamps at night. Watching them drop in their tracks is far more humane - and a lot safer for me! I have many rifles in calibers from .22LR up to .44Mag. I do not shoot game a mile away or even 1000 yds away. I live in more of a jungle environment in the SE USA. Rarely is there a shot opportunity in excess of 200 yds. This app has proven to be quite accurate in that realm and has saved me a lot of time and ammo at the gun range. I have a rather complex spreadsheet that computes the ballistics for each caliber rifle that I own. It also has my reticles contained within the spreadsheet. For any sight-in range that I pick, the program populates the reticle labels with correct range that corresponds to the appropriate reticle mark. Its an awesome tool, but lugging all that printed data around in a spiral notebook is a real pain. With this app, I dont have to lug anything around. Its all on my phone! I have all of my rifle data stored in the cloud along with each cartridge that I use. If the cartridge isnt in the iSnipe library, I build my own custom bullet. Its very simple to do using manufacturers data found on line. The ballistics data from this app matches my spreadsheet almost exactly and both products accurately reflect the physical reality observed at the gun range. I personally have no gripes about the app. Ive read some reviews about the weather input not working. Ive spot tested my weather input and it seems to work fine. The temp does always reset to Celsius but that doesnt preclude using the app. But honestly, I dont use the weather input much. Wind is the biggest factor. And if its too windy, I dont try to sight-in any rifles nor do I try to hunt. I have just two wishes. 1. I wish it had an option to build user-defined reticles so that various scopes could be selected - just like guns and cartridges can be mixed and matched now. Right now I have to store my spreadsheet reticle data as photos on my phone. It would be far better to have that reticle data stored within the app so that I could change it as required. 2. Id also like to see a straight line added to the bullet path curve that represents the muzzle angle. Single-shot zeroing can become a reality with that simple addition. BTW, Thanks for adding the OPBZ calculation in a past update! I use that feature all the time. Great work on this app! Keep the upgrades coming!

Love it

How about some more reticles?? Added the extra $.99 engine. Fantastic app for sure. Helping my ARs shoot right there with the bolt guns.

Good not great

Wonderful tool with all the right input options and accurate calculations. Main problem is that it is very difficult to change between MOA, mil-dot, inches, etc. Other apps I use are much quicker/easier. If they change that and make some of the other input points quicker to navigate it would be 5 stars.

review

After chronograph ing the ammo and inputting correct data. I had a first shot hit @ 600 yards on a 9 degree down angle. No wind input, it was dead calm. I hit a 3 inch circle. Not being a long range (ie past 300 yds) shooter it impressed the heck outta me.

Works great.

I really like it. Ive used it out to 925 yards and it is spot on as long as you put all the necessary inputs in. Multiple ranges, firearms, loads, and options for mil or moa make it very flexible.

Cold bore - 600yd 10 ring

I established my 300yd zero with my .308. Using iSnipe, I entered my ballistics data, weather, and range info. When I moved to the 600yd range, the data provided from iSnipe got my on the 10 ring on my first shot (elevation was good but I didnt provide enough windage so I was slightly to the right of the x ring). Absolutely happy with this app! The ability to store rifles, ranges and ballistics is a great feature.

USMC veteran

As of now I have no complaints about this app everything is clear accurate and precise when it comes to distance shooting
