Hello! I understand your favorites and all your data have disappeared from the Hornady Ballistics app, and you mentioned you're using it without an account. I’d like to help you get this sorted out.

To get started, could you tell me if this loss happened after a recent app update, reinstallation, or perhaps after clearing your browser or app cache? Also, did you happen to use any sync or backup feature before? This can help me suggest the right steps for recovering or preventing this in the future.

In the meantime, here’s some context to consider:

1. Using the Hornady Ballistics app without an account means your data and favorites are stored locally on your device only. If the app was updated, reinstalled, or if cache/data was cleared, local data can be lost.
2. The app currently doesn’t save your data in the cloud unless you create an account and log in, so data loss is possible when not signed in.
3. For future safety, I recommend creating a free account within the app. This allows your profiles, favorites, and settings to be backed up online and restored if needed.

Now, let's try the following steps:

1. Check Local Data:
- Close and restart the app completely.
- Avoid reinstalling the app now, as it likely deletes local data.

2. Check for Backup Files (if any):
- On Windows, app data may be stored in local folders. Typically under C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\HornadyBallistics or a similar directory. If you feel comfortable, you can check there for any backup or configuration files.

3. Avoid Clearing Cache or Data: Since you have no cloud backup, clearing cache or data would wipe stored info.

4. Set Up an Account: For future use, please consider signing up inside the app. This will securely save your data in the cloud and protect against accidental loss.

If you want, I can also guide you step-by-step on how to export any data or create backups for safekeeping.

Could you please share more about what you tried before noticing this loss? That will help me offer more tailored guidance or look into any specific issues others have experienced in similar scenarios.

Are you comfortable sharing these details?

Where is Ballistic data stored on iPAD?

Hi! Great question about where the Hornady Ballistics app stores ballistic data on an iPad.

On iOS devices like the iPad, the Hornady Ballistics app stores all your ballistic profiles, favorites, and related data locally within the app’s own private storage sandbox. This data is not accessible directly through standard file browsers but is kept securely by iOS for each app individually. The app does not store ballistic data in a shared or user-accessible folder, but rather inside its internal storage area managed by iOS.

This means:
- Your profiles, favorites, and settings are saved on the iPad within the app, and persist as long as the app remains installed.
- If you uninstall the app, this local data will typically be deleted unless you have backed it up through iCloud or use the app's own sync features (which requires an account).
- Because iOS sandboxing keeps each app’s data isolated, you can’t manually extract this data without special tools or jailbreaking.

If you want to ensure your data is safe and recoverable, I recommend creating a Hornady Ballistics account and signing in within the app. That way, your ballistic data and favorites will be backed up online and can be restored on any device.

Does this help clear things up? Would you like guidance on setting up a Hornady Ballistics account or backing up your data?

Steps to find saved ballistics on Hornady app iPad

Hi! To find your saved ballistics profiles in the Hornady Ballistics app on your iPad, here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

1. Open the Hornady Ballistics app on your iPad.
2. On the main screen, look for the “Profiles” or “Saved Profiles” section. This is where all your saved ballistic data and shooting profiles are organized.
3. Tap on “Profiles” to view a list of your saved ballistic profiles.
4. Select any profile from the list to view or edit the ballistic data for that specific setup.
5. If you don’t see a profiles area right away, check for a menu icon (usually three lines or dots) or a bottom navigation bar with options like “Home,” “Profiles,” “Favorites,” or “Settings.”
6. In case you had not created or saved any profiles under an account, your data might be stored locally and visible under “Profiles” or “My Data” within the app.

Bonus tip: Creating a Hornady Ballistics account and logging in will allow you to sync and backup your profiles across devices, so you won’t lose saved ballistics if you switch devices or reinstall the app.

If you don’t find saved profiles or your data seems missing, please let me know if you have used the app without an account or if you recently updated or reinstalled it, and I can help troubleshoot further 10

Steps to view my saved ballistics on iPad?

Hi! To view your saved ballistics profiles in the Hornady Ballistics app on your iPad, here’s what you need to do:

1. Open the Hornady Ballistics app on your iPad.
2. On the main screen, look for the “Profiles” section—this is where your saved ballistic data lives.
3. Tap “Profiles” to see a list of all your saved ballistic profiles.
4. Select any profile to open and view the specific ballistic details for that setup.

If you are not seeing your saved profiles, consider whether you were using the app without an account, since local data storage on iOS means your data stays only on the device unless backed up by signing in.

For future protection of your ballistic data and to sync across devices, I recommend creating or signing into a Hornady Ballistics account inside the app.

If you want, I can guide you through setting up an account or help troubleshoot if your saved profiles appear missing after app updates or reinstallations.
