Emergency response at a tap of a button! The Panic Help app allows you to panic when you are in an emergency and will notify the closest responder to attend to your situation. Personal safety is a priority for all. We all value our loved ones and unfortunately we live in a world where at some point we might face life threatening situations. To ensure they are protected should this occur, we offer a quality, on-demand and on-the-go security service using advancements in mobile technology. We designed a solution that links you to qualified responders, to assist in your moment of need without unnecessary delays, to save critical time in life threatening situations. When you are in trouble, we know that there is no time to first receive a call from a call center that will still need to call the nearest qualified responder from a limited pool linked to that call center. Rather, we immediately notify and route the nearest responder from any of our partner companies to you. All responders are benchmarked on their response times and rated by you, the alerter, to help us guarantee that we’ll always be ready to answer your call and assist you when you need it most. Note: While using the app, the GPS will run even if the app is minimized. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Close the app to prevent this.

About

Commandeck

Features
Read full description

Commandeck is a Magic the Gathering EDH Commander deck builder for iPhone, built around two questions: what is the format actually playing, and what can you build with the cards you already own? Every number comes with the sample size behind it. DECKS YOU CAN ALMOST BUILD Scan your cards, add them by name or import a CSV from another collection app, and Commandeck holds your collection against the usual deck of over 1,500 commanders. See the decks you are closest to, the key cards you own for each, and what it costs to finish them, partners and backgrounds included. One tap creates the deck with your cards, with the missing ones waiting in the maybeboard. BUY ONLY WHAT YOU ARE MISSING Every decklist, yours or someone else's, marks the cards you already own, and the buy button sends only the missing ones to the shop you choose. UPGRADE ON A BUDGET Pick $25, $50 or $100, keep your bracket, choose what to improve, and get the swaps with prices and how many decks run each card. Any card in your deck shows cheaper alternatives that do the same job. WHAT OTHER PLAYERS RUN Pick any commander and see the cards played alongside it, grouped by theme, with real inclusion rates from Commandeck's own nightly crawl of published decklists. New cards are ranked by the decks that have picked them up since they came out. BRACKETS AND POWER LEVEL See where your deck sits on the official Commander bracket scale, from 1 to 5, and exactly which game changers, tutors, extra turns and land denial put it there. Useful the evening before game night. NEW SETS FOR YOUR DECKS For every new set, even before release, see which cards fit each of your decks and why, and preorder just those. Cards parked in your maybeboard tell you when they get cheaper. COMMANDER DECK BUILDER Build 100-card EDH decks with live checks for singleton, color identity and commander legality. Import a deck from a link or a pasted list, and share it as a link that friends can open on the web without the app, as an image, or as text. ANALYSIS AND OPENING HANDS Compare your mana curve with the average deck for your commander, check your mana base and the roles of your cards, and draw test hands under London mulligan rules with exact odds of keeping, flooding or missing land drops. CARD SEARCH Search every card by name or rules text, filter by color, type and mana value, or point the camera at a card to look it up. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS No sign-up and no advertising. Your decks and your collection stay on your iPhone, and a deck you have already opened stays readable without a connection. The app measures how it is used, with no advertising identifier and nothing sold or shared, and a switch in About turns that off. Card data and images courtesy of Scryfall.
