Opinions on the Applied Ballistics app? Useable? Worth its cost?
That’s the rub…. I would make sure you are backing up all your data to the same email address in case it transfers across devices but I don’t think that’s the case.Is there any way to get "credits" for the CDMs? I feel like I've bought them about 4 times now. Fury 5000 AB, Sig Kilo10K, Kestrel 5700 Elite, AB app now want's me to pay $10 again for each caliber....
AB in a Kestrel yes.90% of high level shooters are using it.
Kestrel with AB and custom curves almost makes doping a rifle pointless. I have yet to use a cc that was not spot on to transgenic. It's an excellent solver and once you learn some advanced features like target card and sectors, you can spit out solutions crazy fast.
There is a reason everyone has an ab kestrel and it's the gold standard.

Not that it's hard to use, it's just not intuitive and also has some weird quirks.Lol. App is easy to use. Sorry tech is hard.
Interesting that some find the UI hard to use. Perhaps it’s just a matter of how the steps flow in one person’s mind compared to another. I find the app very intuitive to use (iPhone) but I also find the Hornady very intuitive. Now on the other hand I never liked the UI for Strelok but many says it’s very intuitive to them.Not that it's hard to use, it's just not intuitive and also has some weird quirks.
Full transparency I have an IPhone, I think the android app is a bit better.
Play with the 4DoF App for like 5 minutes and you'll see how much friendlier it is to use.
The more you use it and get familiar the easier it gets, again it’s not hard just clunky. So is a kestrel tho, takes me a couple mins to remember where everything is after the off season.Interesting that some find the UI hard to use.

Admittedly I never messed with that and I am glad. Probably would have just used hard dopeIt's clear who never used FFS or other shitty solvers on a palm pilot. Or a mil dot master. Complaining about modern solvers that are 90000% easier to use is hilarious.
@DeathBeforeDismount you just like to go against the grain even if it means you are wrong.
PDM/ CDM is the way for sure. I’ve had the same experience. If it’s not bang on there is other bad inputs.It's easier and cheaper to only shoot bullets that have custom curves than to try and get a good g7 the old school way.
We still wateline to verify around transonic but have yet to find a berger that was not dead on the cdm.
It's why most comp shooters run them. Incredibly consistent bc translates to very good and predictable flight path.
I am a finance/numbers guy and the weaponozed math gives me a headache. We are in a world of cheap and accurate solvers and chronos. We don't need to guess anymore. Throw the shit in a kestrel and you are getting solutions inside a tenth out to transonic range. We really are spoiled.

I don't believe you can connect the Kestrel to the AB app. You have to connect it to the Kestrel app...I think ABs app leave a lot to be desired especially after paying 30 bucks. The UI isn’t great. I prefer Hornady 4DOF.
Last time I tried to use ABs app I couldn’t even connect my kestrel to it to update environmentals.
Yeah, if you have a AB kestrel. When all the other apps allow you to connect a weatherflow and or any kestrel with link it’s an extremely poor design on the AB app developers part. However, it’s just a way for them to try and keep folks using their ecosystem only.I don't believe you can connect the Kestrel to the AB app. You have to connect it to the Kestrel app...
It would be great if you could purchase one upgrade for the CDMs and have it across all devices connected to the account. Probably not as great in the mind of the seller though…Yeah, if you have a AB kestrel.
