Since this doesn't exist, how about some engineers on the forum come up with one. | I was actually looking into creating something like this with smartphone technology. After a bit of investigation...I just found the technology isn't really there yet. I mean you can certainly do simple apps that make calculations, but you can do that with a calculator, too. I was more interested in GPS/rangefinding/wind compensation/etc. But it's simply not accurate enough IMHO, and it's compounded by the fact that almost every place you shoot guns, has about the worst satellite/wifi/cell tower coverage.
Still, within 5 years I predict a smart phone could be a pretty advanced fire control system (I'm talking firing blind and getting on paper at 100). Already they're plugging basic stuff in.
