Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters What hunting/shooting apps do you have on your smartphone

I recently upgraded my phone and am looking to add a Weather App, GPS App, and a Ballistics app. What do you all recommend?

Not a GW.
Shooter App, Strelok App & Kestrel Companion

Recommend them all. Strelok is particularly useful if your using a ballistic reticle for hold overs as you can select your optic & reticle the app will give you the hold over based on your inputs.
They all communicate with a Kestrel weather meter with bluetooth.

Huh?

I'm a dinosaur,

I have a real compass with a needle in my pack, a paper map of the area I'm hunting, and I look at the National Weather Service webpage/forecast for my location before I leave the house. As for the "Ballistics app", again, dinosaur... point blank range.

I'm the guy that some seasons limits himself by using a longbow, a sidelock muzzle loader, and walks in.

Hey don't pick on me too much, I do have a rangefinder good out to 400 + yds. And some of my rifles actually have scopes on them. And I bring my phone in case there's service for emergencies and to take pictures.

So I'm sorta like an almost modern day dinosaur.

Good luck in your search R6555.

What kind of phone?

Applied Ballistics - versions for Apple and Android. I also have Shooter but the AB app is better.

Samsung 6 edge

I like strelok for ballistics because it's free. The others mentioned cost $10-$30. Strelok has been very accurate for me and is easy to use.
For weather, I like accuweather because the radar loads quickly.
For mapping, I use the Google maps that was preloaded.
I also have a neat app called Andmeasure. It has aerial photo background and allows you to create points on the screen and tells you the distance between them. Can be used to aid in navigation but I have also used as a rangefinder.

Nosler has a free one that's decent. The bullets listed are Noslers of course but you can fiddle it a bit.

Geno - you have what you need, the most important stuff, and it's not too complicated and also quick to use.

IMO many are missing the advantageS of MPBR. Inside of 450 yds, MPBR eliminates several problems and saves time.
