Google Play store already had a lot of Unit Converting apps. But most are inconvenient and difficult to use because of poor and complicated UI (user interface). I've been improving my app for 7 years, so that it became intuitive and simple.
This app would not have all units in the world. It shows only common units selected by users' feedback. The different unit sets will appear depending on your country and language.

※ Data storage / flow ?
This app shows data storage and data flow in data section so as to save a tab. It is not a mistake. Similarly, it shows speed and running face units in speed section, too. By the way, do you know the difference of "kb", "kB", "kib", "kiB", "kbps"?
b : bit
B : byte
k : kilo (1000)
Ki : kibi (1024)
M : mega (1000 x 1000)
Mi : mebi (1024 x 1024)
kbps : kilo bit per second
※ When I traveled abroad, I could not find some units.
My app shows different unit sets depending on your country. It can guess your country according to your telecom carrier and system language.
When you travel abroad, other unit sets can appear because of overseas roaming. In this case, select the country in [Country selection] option at the settings.
※ What is the ad-free menu ?
Please watch a reward video for 15-30 seconds, so that all ads will be removed for 60 minutes. And an information box will appear like paid version. I think it will be worth it.
It supports landscape mode for tablets. Select more menu (3 dots) at the top-right corner.
※ FAQ
Q. How to copy the result to clipboard?
A. Double-tap on it.
Q. How can I convert from gram to litre?
A. "gram" is weight unit, "litre" is volume unit. They cannot be converted. 1L of water = 1kg, 1L of gasoline = ~0.70kg
Q. "kg" is not a weight unit, but a mass unit.
A. I know. weight = mass x Gravity. "mass" and "weight" are same in Earth.
Above all, "weight" is a friendly word and the public do not understand "mass" perfectly.
