[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 1129415, member: 1441"] I have the Kestrel 4500 AB and the Ballistic AE and Shiiter apps. The apps work ok, but I have found the Kestrel to be more reliable, having excellent atmospheric and calculation capacity. Obviously then apps will get you to where you want to go, and are much cheaper. However I prefer the Kestrel, mainly because the battery life is not an issue and it is more robust than a phone. It is a bit clumsy to use and the display is bog standard, but I've used it to make first round hits out to 1400 yards in very varied conditions where the apps were off. Of the two apps, I prefer Ballistic AE in layout and features, but Shooter uses DA which makes it much better for me. If the other app used DA it would be perfect. [/QUOTE]
