After getting a new rifle and scope earlier this year, I wanted to develop scope settings but due to the virus, was unable to spend time at our local range. Searching this forum, I found a tutorial by airgunnerSA that used StrelokPro as a platform to develop scope settings. I downloaded StrelokPro and used the tutorial to prepare a table for my scope. After inputting all the required data, I had my settings. Yesterday at dawn, I went to the range before anyone else was there and shot enough groups to verify the developed settings were accurate. Very satisfying and I thank airgunnerSA and StrelokPro.
Developing scope settings

jaird, 
so glad you figured this out and it worked so well for you!
Strelok Pro is pretty cool, and it allows me to switch between different pellets in the same gun seemlessly: Select the pellet, hit "Calculate!" — and there are the numbers I need for my shot.
ChairGun Mobile could not do that, unfortunately. Otherwise it was a pretty good app, too.

Can you use it with any reticle, or just the ones they list? I was looking for my UTG scope and didn't find it on the google store's page, and my other scope is a PARD NV008lrf and didn't see that listed either. So is Strelok good even if they don't have your reticle, or scope?

Marc,
Strelok Pro does have the PARD NV008lrf. Just use the reticle search function in Strelok, type PARD, bingo.
About your UTG scope — type into Streloks search function the word "Leaper" (because in Strelok they're all called Leaper [the mother company], and only some are called UTG).
You get several options. What UTG scope exactly do you have (got the part no.)?
Now, Strelok is useful for three types of shooters — depending on how they adjust their point of aim (POA) when they shoot a ranges other than the range they zeroed their gun at — or when they shoot different pellets than the one they zeroed their gun with.
(1) Shooters who use the reticle to adjust the POA by holding left or right for wind, and who hold over for longer ranges than their zero range — they use the reticle display in Strelok.
They can even print it out and glue it into their scope cap, or the butt stock, or laminate it as a dope card.
▪They can also use the main page in Strelok, that tells them where to hold (like 2mil high, 0.5mil left). But that only works if (a) their scope is an FFP scope (most are SFP; all UTG are SFP), or (b) if they use the magnification at which the scope reticle was calibated (UTG's are all calibrated at 10x (or lower if they don't reach up to 9x)).
▪They can also print out a dope sheet, i.e., a table with the holdoffs for different ranges. But again, that only works if (a) it's an FFP, or (b) they use the magnification the scope was calibrated at.
➔ This method is a bit quicker than the dialing method, but less precise.
(2) Shooters that use the turrets to adjust the POA dial elevation and windage on the turrets — and they use the main page in Strelok that tells them what numbers to dial on the turrets.
▪They can also print out a dope sheet, a table with the holdoffs for different ranges.
➔ This method is a bit slower than the holdoff method, but more precise.
(3) Shooters that use the turrets to adjust the POA for elevation, and that use the reticle to hold for wind — use a combination of the above in Strelok.
Hope this helps some.

It helps a ton! First of all by showing me that I'm still in the game when it comes to using such a well-regarded program. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort!
And second by drilling down into useful detail. I shoot squirrels, itchy twitchy highly mobile fellas, and so your first descriptor fits me best -- someone wanting to use the reticle rather than the turrets where possible in pursuit of all possible speed while still remaining an ethical shooter. I find them at any random range between 10 and 50 yards, but only shoot them between 10 and 25 ... so far!
Okay, so I'm in. This sounds like a good learning tool as well as a practical helpmate.
I saw your other thread with downloadable moderator info and gave it a heart(whatever that means). I have to echo my appreciation here and follow it up with an accuracy thumbs up. Thank you for going to such useful trouble!

Thank you, Marc! 
Shooting between 10 and 25y you can probably get away with setting the scope to one magnification and only memorizing/carrying the one reticle printout/dope card appropriate for that one magnification (in case of an SFP scope).
Stretching out further maybe you can decide on two magnifications, and limit yourself to two reticle printouts/ dope cards....
Let'em squirrels have it!!
