The Loading Bench App Reviews

Dont buy!!!!!

You cant get the powder you use for your load worthless app better off with the old manuals

Disappointing powder selection

Typical rifle reloads with popular powders found in any reputable reloading book are missing. Rather disappointing. Good usability.

Load choices

Wish I didnt have to pay for is since it doesnt give many choice for my gun and load choices. Even though many books say the load I use works.

Good layout, little powder choices.

Good setup, but lacking powder choices severely.

Not bad

Could use some tweaking - for example calibers are split/duplicated due to upper case/lower case use in the database and also dashes and slashes Example: 45/70 and 45-70. At this price I expected better.

Cost per cartridge

The only thing I found useful was the cost per cartridge calculator. Load data did not allow me to put in B.C. or for G7 drag functions. Hopefully improvement comes. As well as I keep pushing to edit my data, the app does nothing.

Poor app

Waste of money

Very limited.

Very little load data for each caliber. There is only a few powers for each load. There is no COL info. Not work the price.

Nice work!

I almost didnt buy this because of the previous review but then I saw the only one similar to this cost $30. So I figured is gamble. Might not have all the data for everyone but for the two handgun loads that I use they have over 15 powders each. Well worth the money for me!

Great Value

I passed on other reloading apps for 15-30 bux and went with this one. So glad I did. Tons of load data for everything I use and am looking to use in the future. Also love the feature of taking pictures of groupings to associate with different load recipes.

Where is the rest of the powder?

Where is the rest of the load data?!? There is only one powder for each bullet grain. I bought this app thinking it was a portable version load data book. Not worth the money!

Not a good value

I thought this would contain loads in a compiled format so I could save time instead of looking up the loads in various manuals. Very few selections of pretty common loads are in this database. You can find more info at most manufacturers websites.

Very little info

This app has very little info in it. You can buy a crappy reloading manual and get much more from it than you can this app. Dont waste your money.

Missing loads

I didnt see any load data for .458 SOCOM.

Horrible

This app is so disorganized its pathetic. It says it was written by sportsman or whatever. Well they obviously arent sportsman that even have a clue about reloading. Instead of having a category for lets say 230 lead round nose bullets then let you choose the powder and tell you how many grains to use it shows like 4-5 different 230 lead round nose bullets each one containing 1-7 or so powders but it makes you look through all of them until you happen to find the powder you want to use. Its a disaster. I have only written a couple negative reviews and I say this app is the worst of them. It could be a great app IF they reorganize it. Until you see that in the version history dont even think about buying this app. Ill update my review if they change it so you dont waste your money. Hopefully I can get a refund though.

Great idea, bad first try.

Not a useful tool as-is. I need to be able to search by bullet, by powder, and by cartridge without having to search by all simultaneously. When buying powder it would be invaluable to look up all loads for all bullets and cartridges to see if I can use it. If Im reloading, I want to see all loads for the selected bullet at the least and maybe all the bullets with a single powder. Give me this and Ill declare this the most useful reloading software since quickload.

Lacking information

This app needs to allow you to add information as well. Only provides TAC for the .223 load. I want to be able to add other powders. So when I try to enter a recipe for a .223 load it only has one powder TAC. I did not find a way for me to enter other powders. So this needs to be a little more flexible with edits. Look forward to the big changes on the way.

Review

One of the better reloading apps on App Store would recommend to friends

Cool idea, but not enough selection

Doesnt have any powder or rounds that I use in half my guns,
