Spend more time to play, and less to calculate! iScore Contrée assists you in all your Belote Contrée events, be it quick games or fierce tournaments. The app makes pen and paper totally obsolete, as it automatically computes the scores of each of your games. Enter the declared contract, the made points, and iScore Contrée will take care of the rest. You will even be provided with a game schedule based on the number of players, in case you would like to organise a little tournament between friends. An app that will count for you, for sure! Basic features: • Score computation. • Event statistics (ranking, wins count…). • Automatic game schedule generation in individual (all the players play with each other) or team (fixed teams during the whole event) modes. • Up to 4 saved players. • Individual statistics (wins count, points average…). Advanced features (PRO version only): • Unlimited number of saved players. • Global ranking (individual and by team). • Events history (statistics, event resuming…). One last superfluous precision: this app is an assistant, not a game. You still will need a few friends in real life in order to fully enjoy all its features. In other words, it's your turn to play!
RF Calc JP

RF Calc JP is a practical calculator for amateur radio and RF work, for iPhone and iPad. Its signature feature: apply gains and losses (dB) to an absolute power value (W, mW, dBm …) in sequence — follow a signal from the transmitter through cable loss and amplifier gain to the final output, right on the keypad. KEY FEATURE: MIX ABSOLUTE VALUES WITH dB Enter "1 W − 3.8 dB" and it instantly shows 26.2 dBm (= 0.4169 W = 416.9 mW). Working with absolute values (W/dBm) and relative values (dB) in a single line matches how you actually reason about a link. FEATURES • Power / dBm: convert among W / mW / µW / nW / dBm / dBW. Enter one value and see the rest at once (e.g., 1 W = 1000 mW = 30 dBm = 0 dBW). • RF Chain: start from an absolute power, then stack each stage's gain (+dB) or loss (−dB): TX output → cable loss → amplifier gain → final output. See every stage and name each one. • Voltage: convert among V / mV / µV / nV and dBV / dBmV / dBµV. Set an impedance (default 50 Ω; 75/600 Ω or custom) to convert to power/dBm. Choose RMS / Peak / Peak-to-Peak as the reference. • Unit Converter: convert power and voltage units together, showing multiple units at once. • dB Converter: convert between dB and power/voltage ratios (e.g., +3 dB → power ratio ≈1.9953 / voltage ratio ≈1.4125). • VSWR: convert among VSWR, reflection coefficient |Γ|, return loss, reflected power (%), and mismatch loss. • Power Efficiency: transmitter efficiency from DC voltage, current and RF output (e.g., 13.8 V × 20 A with 100 W RF → about 36.2%). Reverse modes give the required DC current or the expected RF output. BUILT RIGHT • All internal math is double precision and is never rounded mid-calculation — rounding happens only for display, so chained calculations stay accurate. • Results appear in several related units at once. Set the number of digits and engineering (SI-prefix) notation in Settings. • Save a calculation history on device to review later. • Each calculator keeps its input when you switch. Attenuator (ATT) correction and large text sizes (Dynamic Type) are supported. WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone building a quick link budget from the rig to the antenna • Moving between voltage and power (dBm) • Converting VSWR and return loss without mental math • RF and electronics work that lives in dB and gain PRIVACY RF Calc JP collects no personal data and does no tracking. It runs fully offline with no account. Your calculation history is stored only on your device. SUBSCRIPTION All features are available via an auto-renewing subscription (¥200/year in Japan; equivalent local pricing elsewhere), with a 7-day free trial. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid charges. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. A simple, accurate RF calculator for everyday operating and design.
