Finally, people are starting to make apps formatted for iPad. Salut et Fraternité for iPad by Brumaire is a port of the Salut et Fraternité app for iPhone, which displays the current French Republican calendar date and decimal time, and allows you to convert between Republican and Gregorian dates. Unfortunately, instead of simply updating the original app for iPad, they made it a separate app, forcing you to pay $1.99 for both. The iPad version is pretty much the same as the original, but looks better on the bigger screen. Also, instead of a separate tab for the decimal time watch, you select a setting to have it displayed on the main tab. However, for some reason the season images don't appear for me on the "Convert" tab after I turn them on. If you already have the iPhone version, you might want to simply use that on your iPad, rather than pay twice, even if it does look a bit crappy, although another two bucks at least won't set you back much.
