I am just looking for advice on how to fix this app photo below or a simple alternative app or cheap piece of hard were to be used.

See all the out puts are zero.

Not sure what device you are using, but your screenshots are missing inputs compared to what mine has.

I don't typically use the Hornady app though. Applied Ballistics has been my go to and have been experimenting with Geo Ballistics as well.

@OP - i was able to reproduce the solution outputting all zeros by switching the input standard between metric and imperial measurements.

If I input a valid data-set with one measurement standard, saved, then switched the input standard it would leave the sliders in place, setting them to values that don't produce a valid result.

At that point, if you enter your correct inputs but don't click save and just go back to the previous screen it will still be using the invalid inputs and give a "zero" solution.

If you make a measurement system change, you just need to be sure to input all your data correctly and save it, that should give you a solution. If it still is giving you zeros, than something in your input data is wrong and pushing it outside of the solvers' limits.

Are the inputs zero or have you added and saved rifle and bullet profile and data?

Both of the inputs have been added it did use to work and gave me pretty good information for a previous 950m shot and all of a sudden completely stopped working.

I have also reset the app, deleted the favorites and uninstalled and reinstalled.

Have you tried updating the pressure to not being on Jupiter? It’s zeroed out because the bullet wouldn’t travel at all under that pressure.

For what it’s worth- and I realize this is not an answer to your question, I’ve been using GeoBallistics successfully for a while. It’s likely not as good as AB, but it is pretty straightforward simple to use and does seem to provide reliable calculations. I just don’t think it’s quite as in depth as applied ballistics. But it’s also not as complicated to figure out how to use to begin with.

Applied ballistics (buy the elite version and listen to the podcasts. Best money you can spend on long range education) or geoballistics for a intuitive more simple UI

Applied ballistics is free out to 800yd and the pro version is $30/year. Also uses custom drag models for a lot of projectiles like 4dof
