BMI Calculator

Calculation of Body Surface Area provides a simple set of tools for calculating a body's mass and surface area. While it's easy to use, it requires expert medical or anatomical understanding to fully interpret the results.

The program's interface is simple to operate, with basic controls and layout. We particularly like that the program displays both metric and non-metric units of measure. However, it lacks a Help file, which we certainly needed to interpret its complex results. Moving the program's slider tool dials in the selected body's weight and height. The program quickly calculates the … Read more

Texas Fold-em

Tournament Strategy and Odds Calculator provides a helpful tool for figuring out your odds of success in a Texas Hold-em game. While the calculator is a great learning tool, the program falls flat in other departments.

The program's interface initially felt welcoming, with a few simple command options and in-depth instructions in the Help file. However, we were turned off when we couldn't join a poker game immediately. The program claimed it was "Searching for a Game," though it quickly became obvious we would need a Free License to play. However, the only way to get … Read more

Unfortunately, you'll have to learn by experimenting because there's no Help file. Fortunately, the program is easy to figure out. You simply enter your company's name and address in the appropriate … Read more

Yu-Gi-Oh lifepoints calculator

Duelpro 2009 is a simple life-points calculator program for tracking score and play with Yu-Gi-Oh cards, the popular collecting cards game based on the Japanese anime series "Yu-Gi-Oh." It's safe for all ages, which is good because Yu-Gi-Oh tends to be most popular with the younger set. Its simplicity ensures all ages can play it, though we were disappointed by some problems with its Help file.

The program's interface was a mixed bag. Its two-person calculator was simple enough to operate and keep up in real time during a game. However, we were unable to have … Read more
