A score tracker that lets you see in numbers that you really are getting better. ALM4GEST imports your play records for SOUND VOLTEX, DanceDanceRevolution (SP/DP), GITADORA (GuitarFreaks/DrumMania), pop'n music, and beatmania IIDX (SP/DP) from e-amusement, and shows your skill and growth at a glance. Importing play data requires a paid e-amusement Basic Course subscription. ■ Get better together with friends Compare your scores with a friend's, chart by chart. Send each other challenge songs with a short message, and take on the ones you receive. Pick songs and a period to host a Score Attack, and compete with friends wherever they are. ■ Sync, and today's results come together The Home tab lists the charts where you set a new personal best that day, along with your gains in VOLFORCE, FLARE SKILL, SKILL, or pop'n class. Turn today's results or your record lists into a single image on the background you like, and share it. ■ See where you stand at your level For each chart, the app shows a T-score and a Strength rating based on the records players have shared. Things like "upper tier among SDVX Lv17" or "this one DDR Lv15 chart is my weak spot" show up as numbers. ■ Tier lists show how hard charts really are Charts at the same level are not equally hard. Tier lists built from real clear rates and score distributions show which charts are roadblocks and which are easy to knock out. You can also rank charts by your own feel and hand the list to friends with a share code. ■ Picks for charts that raise your rating most The app works out things like "a few more points for AAA and how much VOLFORCE goes up" or "how much FLARE SKILL rises if you clear at this flare rank," and lists the charts with the biggest gains first. It does the same for SKILL in GITADORA and pop'n class in pop'n music. Add any chart you like to your challenge songs right there. ■ Look back at each chart and keep notes See your personal-best history and how you compare with players at the same level, chart by chart. Note your hi-speed, timing offset, and anything you noticed. Post a tip to share it with other players. ■ Set goals and follow your growth Set a target and a deadline, and see whether you are on pace, ahead, or behind. Your VOLFORCE, FLARE SKILL, and other trends stay on record as graphs. ■ Before you start This app is an unofficial tool developed and run by an individual, and is not affiliated with KONAMI. "SOUND VOLTEX", "DanceDanceRevolution", "GITADORA", "pop'n music", "beatmania IIDX", "e-amusement", and other names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
