Ballistic is a highly-accurate ballistic calculator and range companion. With its advanced capabilities, Ballistic can compensate for atmospheric conditions, Coriolis effect, gyroscopic spin drift, and more. It's also much more than an advanced trajectory calculator. With a vast library of nearly 5,000 projectiles and factory loads, rangefinder, and range log, Ballistic is a complete mobile companion for hunting or at the range.

Ballistic's world renowned JBM ballistics engine delivers the gold standard in calculations that other applications compare themselves to.

This is the STANDARD Edition. The ADVANCED Edition also includes:
- iPhone internal barometer supported
- An advanced head-up display for mounted operation
- Advanced wind kit configurable for up to 8 wind sources
- Bryan Litz' custom G7 ballistic coefficients
