Configuring rifle profile
Fields are populated with default entries. For entering new data just tap the field you want to change. Tapping numerical value fields pops up a convenient NumPad. Enter the value and be sure to tap “Done” for confirming it.
Rifle 1 - In this field just enter the name you'd like to use to identify this firearm, e.g. “Rem700, .308”
Zero Range - This is the distance to the target that you zeroed your scope at.
Scope Height - This is the height from the centerline of your bore to the center of your sight. To measure it on firearm with a mounted scope, measure the diameter of the scope bell (on the end, from side to side, not the circumference!) and divide that number by 2. Measure the barrel diameter just under or ahead of the scope's bell,  also divide by 2. Last,  measure the gap between the bottom of the scope bell and your barrel. Add all 3 resulting numbers together to get your sight height. Try to be precise since it has direct impact on calculations accuracy. Elevation click - This is the amount of adjustment per-click of your elevation turret. It should be labled on your turret or available in your scope's manual.
Windage click - Same as Elevation Turret, except for your windage turret. This value and unit is very likely the same as the elevation's turret.
These fields can also be used to correct for scope turret clicks that aren't quite what they supposed to be. If you find that your .25MOA per-click scope is actually .23MOA per-click, just put in .23 and you’ll never have to think of it again.
Default click unit is MOA, value is set at ¼ MOA. Unit can be changed to MRAD(MIL), inches@100yards or cm@100meters by tapping a small blue round button just below click fields and selecting needed unit.
Zero Atmosphere – weather conditions when you zeroed the rifle.  It's best to toggle  the switch to “ON” and input your zero atmospheric conditions. By enabling this feature you get  automatic zero correction when shooting in different conditions. So if you originally zero at 100 meter altitude and then go hunting with that rifle/ammo to 2000 meter altitude, your zero point will be off (how much it will be off depends on how far your zero range was) and Strelok will account for this.
Altitude - This is your altitude above sea level at time of zero. 
Temperature - Temperature at time of zero.
Pressure - Pressure at time of zero.
Adding or editing a Rifle
To add a rifle, tap the "Change rifle" button at upper left middle screen. A popup with 10 possible profiles opens. Select an entry and configure the profile as needed. It shall be saved automatically.
The program remembers all settings data and anytime you select a certain rifle profile will bring it up along with scope reticle and ammo profile used last with this combination.

Configuring ammo profile
It’s basically done the same way as configuring rifle profile.
Catridge 1  - In this field just enter the name you'd like to use to identify this catridge, e.g. “Barnes TTSX .308, 168 gr”
Bullet weight - The weight of your bullet in grains or grams. This value is necessary only for energy calculation.
Ballistic coefficient – G1 drag model BC value usually is specified by bullet manufacturer or can be found by search on the Internet. One great database can be found  at http://www.shootforum.com/forum/bulletdb.html
Muzzle Velocity - This is the velocity of your bullet when immediately leaving your barrel. It is highly recommended to confirm this using a chronograph. If you don't have access to a chronograph, put in your best guess from a reloading manual or from the manufacturer of your ammo and tweak it until your trajectory calculations match up with your real-world shooting. Of course, this should only be done if you're sure other entered variables such as atmosphere and target distance are accurate. 
MV temp variation – Optional field. Powder burnrate and resulting MV are temperature dependant. You may get higher MVs in summer heat and lower in winter cold. This field specifies in percent how much MV changes within 15 degree temperature change. You can leave the default 1.5% (2,5% for metric units) if you are not sure of you powder properties, or put any  figure   in a range of 0,5-3,5%
Adding or editing a Cartridge
Just like with rifle, to add a cartridge, tap the "Change cartridge" button. A popup with opens. Select an entry in the popup and configure the profile as needed. It shall be saved automatically. 10 profiles are possible.
Dropbox
Strelok now supports a feature allowing Dropbox users to backup rifle and profiles and sync the device with file uploaded to Dropbox.
Entering Target and weather conditions
After rifle and ammo profiles are created you are ready to get the shot solution.
Enter:
Range – the distance to your target read from rangefinder, estimated by Mildot reticle or simply your best guess. If you want to create a table, just enter the distance you wish to calculate to.
Wind – enter your estimate of wind speed or data from portable weather station
Wind angle – this is the direction of wind in relation to target. You can enter the degrees (a 12 o’clock wind is coming from 0 deg., 3 o’clock wind is coming from 90 deg. etc) or tap the blue button and just drag the red sector with your finger to whatever side the wind is coming from
Target angle - This is the angle to the target from the perspective of your bore. You can enter a numeric value in degrees, or just like with wind, tap the blue button and drag the the target higher or lower.
Next you may want to input the current Weather. It’s very straightforward:
Altitude – this is your current altitude above sea level
Temperature - Your current temperature
Pressure – Your current atmospheric pressure
If you  tap “Standard values” Strelok shall automatically enter the ASM (Army Standard Metro) values which are the atmospheric standard for entered altitude, and are used by many bullet manufacturers in calculating bullet BC.
Solution
If You now tap “Calculate!”, the solution is seen in the lower part of the screen in MOA, MRAD, inch/cm and clicks. Just dial it into riflescope turrets and take your shot.
Or if you prefer, tap the reticle to see the holdover.
The reticle view  can be exported by email for printing.
By tapping “Table” You can also bring up a shooting table showing the rifle and ammo profile, velocities, energy, bullet flight times, bullet drop, windage at specified distance increments. All this can be configured in table settings.
The table can also be exported by email for storing, printing etc.
