Doubtful if you will find anything but reloading data, which is NOT to be confused with reloading INSTRUCTIONS and data. You can get reloading recipes online just by surfing the web, so you don't need an app for that. As far as reloading instructions, Hornady, Speer, Nosler, Lyman and others are not going to put the stuff that they sell in manuals for $25 - $30 out there for free!

Do you know how many apps there are, that are what you just described? I have a bunch on my phone that I could just go to there website for the same info and functions. Thinking off the top of my head. Weather Channel, Wells Fargo, Discover Card, NRA, news stations and so on. Just because you can find the info on the web doesn't mean there isn't a market for an app.

There are very few...

Handload is an iPhone app to calulate reloading costs
Shot Group Calulator is another good one for the iPhone/iPad2 that uses the camera to measure group size when working up new loads

Ammo Tracker is the only iPad app I know of, it allows you to record diffrent load data

Reloading data can be forud in .pdf formats and read in iBooks, this makes it more easily searchable.

Nothing looks much better than a spreadsheet.

I agree, but I have seen what can be done with a spreadsheet :D

I would like to see reloading data books go to a digital format, they could have calculators built in and be much more interactive.

Imagine inputing your powder charge, bullet type and seating depth and getting the app to spit out a pressure and velocity estimate; WINNING!

Quickload is awesome, but in an app for $50 or less, they would sell alot more! There has got to be an app developer that is a reloading geek :P

Ammo Tracker sounds kind of like what im looking for mainly. It will be nice to have a digital way to track loads i try and the results.
