riichi mahjong scoring app

Ran across an app for scoring winning hands in Japanese Mahjong. You select the Fu and Han achieved, and whether you were dealer or not, and you get
1) the number of base points (kihonten)
2) total points for a ron win
3) points for a tsumo win from the dealer (if you were not)
4) points for a tsumo win from the non-dealers
For example, suppose you won with 30 Fu and 4 Han and you were not the dealer.
Result, The base points total 1920 pts, which round off to 2000 pts from each non-dealer for a tsumo win, and 3900 pts from the dealer (who pays double), for a total of 7700 pts, which is the same as what you would get from the discarder if it was a ron win.
The app also has a Fu calculator which helps you get the total Fu from the elements of the winning hand.
My review and opinion: Interesting, and somewhat helpful, for a beginner, but once you know the game sufficiently, worthless, not worth the time and energy to use, and so much easier to have a chart in front of you, if you need it.
Note: The app is entirely in japanese, some translation help in

Found another app, by accident, that has to do with scoring. Oddly enough, it's called Mahjong KIDS, by Design ATOM Games.
It's basically a scoring chart, dealer and non-dealer, tsumo and ron, and limit hands.
It also has a listing of all yaku, in numerical order, and yakumans, with a link to Wikipedia Japan, which provides a ton of information about each one.
Cool, if you can read japanese, way too much to have translated.
However, if you can translate the light blue box for tanyao, I would appreciate it.

The Tanyao light blue box says that depending on the rules tanyao might be menzen yaku (closed, no calls). Just that.

Another scoring app, this one on android, simple, fast, and it's in english. All 4 scoring charts in one box. (and only 42 kilobytes)
Enter East or other, tsumo or ron, number of fu and han and that's it.
(It does list values for 20 fu ron hands but since we know there is no such animal, we just won't enter those numbers)

Here's a picture of Saki, Akagi, and Tetsuya, at a mahjong table. Who will win this game?

One of the guys. Probably Akagi, because that guy is an uncanny natural. Saki will end with +/-0

As it's not an automatic table, there's a decent chance that Tetsuya will be the winner, although he's going to have to work like mad to get anything past Akagi.

Akagi doesn't really seek for winning, but for destroying his opponent.
So, Tetsuya will end first (since he's focused on actually winning), Akagi second, Saki 0 (obviously), and "Player" shall never be seen again after embarking on some yakusa's yach.

Do a mix like in this pic, and you'll get a serious beating from these ladies.
Miyanaga Saki=Akagi Shigeru
Amae Koromo=Washizu Iwao
Kajiki Yumi=Ichikawa
Ikeda Kana=Yagi Keiji (In my opinion, as Kana has also bad teeth, she should be a mix of Yagi and Urabe)

Interesting, but disturbing.

A friend of mine uses this:

Akagi may be uncanny but Saki is certainly never unKANny.

Wow that's quite, er, wow.
PS Kana-chan looks upset. Perhaps she saw your comment about her teeth!

Actually, you don't have to do that. Just put your finger on whatever tile you wish to designate as the winning tile and it will be highlighted.
Another thing I noticed is that if you only enter the 13 tile tenpai hand instead of a winning hand, it calculates your waits.
