How to Calculate Bushnell Drop-Zone 223 Reticle?

I purchased a 4.5-18x40 Bushnell AR Optics scope and I want to know how to calculate the holdover spots for my handloade day .223 rounds and other factory ammo besides 55 grain and 62 grain stuff. I know that Nikon has the "SpotOn" app, but what does Bushnell have? I own a iOS device (iPad and iPhone) and Windows computer, so you know what kind of apps I could download.

Bulletdrop or Bulletdrop+.

After getting a short range zero, shoot at greater ones to see the actual drop. Shoot at least 5 shots at each range; 10 is s lot better.
