Welllllll.... I just went to Strelok page and apparently he has been Sanctioned by the US and has no access to Google services!!!!!

You can find it in the Samsung galaxy store if you can use that. Or probably in other app stores

Bullet Flight has been verty good for me and is very user friendly. Many good apps available in today's world. My rangefinder has AB built into it and is very good as well.

The most complete set of apps for airguns are the ones from GPC Ballistics Applications, which can be found here. https://gpc.fotosoft.co.uk/
It is all free as well.

I use chairgun but I use it on my laptop. I tried downloading it to my android phone and I thought I got it and them I looked and it came from JetLab or something like that, not Hawke. I uninstalled it. I think discontinued support for chairgun. That doesn't bother me a bit.. I'd rather not be getting upgrades that don't do anything for me anyway. But if you can find Hawke's chairgun it is a good app, for free.

Yes, that is exactly what it is! I looked on his site and it said they are being sanctioned by the US having something to do with the war in Ukraine!

Yes, the developer & his products are sanctioned by the US government due to his business dealings with the Russian government, specifically aiding their invasion of Ukraine. Some countries adopt the sanctions themselves, some don’t.

Google search 'sterlok .apk', as that is the file you need to download to install it on android.

Per Ballisticboy:
This....I have both Strelok Pro and MERO and they work identically. Plus, MERO is FREE! It does not have all of the scope reticles available, but that is easy to not actually need. All one really needs is the hold-over clicks and you are good to go.

Element Ballistics Optic’s app. You don’t need an element scope to use. It’s excellent! ($0)

I use both Chairgun Elite and Element Ballistics. If you want just basic data, the Element is probably the easiest to use because it doesn’t require a bunch of data points you probably won’t want to input and at the end of the day, if used correctly the end results will be the same.
Chairgun has a bazillion reticles if you are a reticle nerd. In the Element app, I use a reticle very similar to the one in my Athlon scope.
The absolute most important data point you will need regardless of which app you use is the TRUE ballistic coefficient and this can only be determined with your gun and ammo and a free standing (non FX pocket) chrony.
The ballistic coefficient or BC is one of the most overlooked and poorly acquired data point when folks use a ballistic app. The BC for lack of a better term, is an efficiency value determined by not only the gun, but the ammo you are using, the speed at which you are shooting and even the twist rate of the barrel. You can get close (but not very) by researching the ammo on line. It just depends on how accurate you want to be.

Big truths! Very glad you brought this up, as it is as you said, so often overlooked.
