This app is for those of us that dreamed of having a PIP-Boy on our arm. Now you can! The app replicates some functions of the Fallout games Personal Information Processor. Perfect use of your old iPhone if youre a LARPer or CosPlayer. It could be mounted in a replica or worn just as a mini-version, strapped to your arm.

There are two general ways the app works. If you are using functions that would be functional in a actual device, there are buttons shown as squares. Those might be disabled (Ex: You cant use the LOG functions while affected by radiation.) shown by slightly dimming the boxes. The functions that would be set by sensors or other inputs are usually set by taping the value/area that will be affected and then sliding your finger left-right or up-down. Scales are usually operated likewise below the scale to make the value set easier to see. Basically: Set your preferences in Settings of the phone, restart the app and start trying to make things change. (Ex: Set "Use radiation hotspots" to off in settings and swipe up and down in the upper half of the radiation screen to set radiation level manually.) Youll soon get the hang of it.
