There are already a lot of Unit Converter apps on Google Play. But most are inconvenient and difficult to use because of poor and complicated UI (user interface).
In fall 2013, I released Unit converter app that had most intuitive and simple UI. In spring 2014, I added currency feature. This feature requires internet permission to refresh exchange rates.
※ Supported unit sections
① Basic : length (distance), area, weight (mass), volume (capacity)
② Living : exchange rate, temperature, time, speed
③ Science : pressure, force, work (energy), power, torque, flow, density, viscosity
④ Misc. : angle, data, fuel consumption, cooking, illuminance, astronomy, radiation, prefix, binary
※ How to use
1) Select a category (Basic / Living / Science / Misc.)
2) Select one of 4 groups.
3) Select one unit by LONGCLICK on the list or tap the selector.
4) Input the number with a keypad.
- 99+ currencies of 125+ countries.
- [My currency] is set automatically according to your phone carrier and language.
- You can select My region(Europe, America) & Major currencies in the list on the action bar.
- It is limited version. If you want to select other region/currency, you must change [My currency] at the settings. The pro version supports all currencies without any action.
- The refresh icon takes the latest exchange rates from our servers.
- The exchange rates are based on Bank of canada, Fx-exchange, FxexchangeRate, etc.
- The rates are for information purposes only.
※ Favorites
You can choose 4 favorites in Science and Misc. categories.
※ Landscape mode
If your device is a tablet PC or a phone with high-resolution (at least 960x540), this app supports landscape mode.
Go menu -> landscape.
※ How to input fractions
Length and weight unit groups have [. /] button on the keypad. You can input fractions.
1 2/3 => [1] + [./] + [2] + [./] + [3],
1/4 => [./] + [1] + [./] + [4]
2 lbs 6 oz => [2] + [./] + [6] + [./] + [16] pounds
※ How to input "deg min sec"
Select "deg min sec" or "deg" unit. You can input them with [.˚'] button on the keypad.
1˚ 23' 45.67" => [1] + [.˚'] + [2][3] + [.˚'] + [4][5] + [.˚'] + [6][7]
0˚ 1' 2" => [.˚'] + [1] + [.˚'] + [2]
※ Data storage/flow ?
This app shows both data storage and data flow in data section to save a tab. Similarly, it shows speed and running face units in speed section.
※ FAQ
A. How can I convert from gram to litre?
Q. Gram is weight unit, Litre is a volume unit. They cannot be converted. volume x density = weight. Water 1L = 1kg, Gasoline 1L = ~0.7kg
A. I guess that weight is different from mass.
Q. Yes. Weight = Mass x Gravity. Gravity in earth = 1 (not 9.8 m2/s). Weight is same to mass in Earth.
