Unit Converter - Best Unit App Reviews

by DPauls

It is good; however, I would move between pesos and US currency. I have to change back in forth depending if I have to determine pesos to dollars and vise versa. I would recommend a way to make it easier to move between the two. The current way I have to page all the way down to dollars if I want to know how many pesos to dollars. And then when I need to know how many dollars to pesos, I have to move back again. Please fix it where using just two common currencies, it is easier to move between the two.

Like most unit conversion apps out there, it’s just “ok.” It’s still inferior to the conversion app I had way back in the early iPhone skeuomorphic days. That app was superior because:

1. It was nicer looking

2. Everything was a friendly, well-animated scroll wheel (nicer looking than the apps that came after, including this one)

3. I could input my unit to convert on either side of the equation. To my knowledge, no apps do this now. That’s strange, because it’s quite common for me to say, “Ok how many inches is 40cm?” and immediately after, “Well then how many cm is 15 inches?” Having to continuously scroll back and forth between units to do this swap, is super annoying. Pressing the “swap” button to scroll both sides automatically is less annoying, but still not as good because it shifts the number inputted on one side of the equation to the other, where it isn’t relevant.

Also guys, $6 is way too much for the pro version. I’d pay $1 or maybe $2 as-is. Make UnitConverter as good as its cousin from years ago, then maybe $5 because that app was perfect.

This puts a lot of info at my fingertips, I like the visual appearance, colors. I would give 5 stars but the one I had for years before I got this one had more info & was better organized, easier to find category needed. It was not compatible with an iOS update so I didn’t update the iOS for as long as humanly possible to not lose that app & a GPS app. It took a while to find this one and is the best I can find, glad to have it.

UnitConverter works. It converts many different ways. The only thing I would wish for is an easy way to switch back and forth. For example if I am in kg to lbs and I want to switch to lbs to kg, I have to change each one individually. Then if I want to go back, I need to switch individually again. It would be nice if there was a "switch" button that switches it back and forth more easily.

UPDATE: Oh I see. You have to buy the "Pro" version for that feature. :/

Switching to Converter+

by KJ Decided

Seven months ago, after 29 years of living abroad, I retired and moved back to the United States. Oregon to be exact. I still have not unpacked all my household goods. But in digging through drawers that contain hastily unpacked items, I found three priceless objects that are unavailable at stores now during the first weeks of the Corona Virus outbreak.

These items were two unopened packages of a hand wipes that kill %99.9 of all bacteria, a thermometer, and bottle of hydrogen peroxide. Do now the peroxide is used to clean the thermometer. But the thermometer measures in Celsius. So is a temperature of 37 degrees C with head congestion and a cough an indication of something more than seasonal allergies or not? I don’t know yet, but I am so grateful that I still have my Units Plus app on my cell phone.

And I will continue to monitor, record and use UnitConverter Units Plus app to make informed decisions about my health. Thank you Units Plus.

One day I went to the doctor. After the checkup she told me to stay on a diet to weigh less. Since nowhere in our house had a weight that weighed in pounds I knew I was in trouble. Then I found UnitConverter. It worked the EXACT way I wanted it to! It had no bugs, no glitches, and best of all, all of its results are 100% accurate! This is the best app I have ever seen. I shared UnitConverter to my sister, and she LOVED it! UnitConverter was like it was made by god.

There are so many great things I want to say about UnitConverter but I don’t want to bore anyone to death. So I will just make it short, sweet and to the point. This is by far the best unit converter app ever. It’s easy to use and it gives me the answer I need. I’ve even used it to fact check things because I want to make sure I’m not being fooled. Love UnitConverter.

Since the very first iPhone came out on the very first day! I’ve been using the iPhone and one of the Apps I wanted was a App that converted all the many different Units, an App that didn’t require a PHD to use! I’m sure over the years I’ve tried hundreds of different ones! And I keep returning to UnitConverter! It’s easy enough that I have no problem using it! I have yet to try the “Pro” Version and may one day if for no other reason than to thank the people behind UnitConverter for their great work! Without any question this is a “Five Star App” !!!! 👍🤠👍🤗

I find UnitConverter very helpful, especially when shopping online and trying to convert metric dimensions into our inches or feet, so that I can picture how big an item is, particularly, if I am purchasing clothing from other countries. It’s also helpful when shopping for jewelry, since I have small wrists and fingers, and needed to know bracelet sizes in centimeters as opposed to inches in the U.S.

Units plus is on my first page for apps because I go to it all the time and I know I can always rely on it for a quick answer when I’m looking for a conversion of almost anything be it temperature, money, length or distance or even comparables I have not even discovered I need yet. It is awesome to get immediate answers when I need them and UnitConverter has never let me down.

I have been using UnitConverter for 2 1/2 years and it has saved me so many times. I use it for cooking in the kitchen I use it for gardening working in the shop just about anything you can imagine.
I have also managed to share this with quite a few people and they are as well impressed as I am. Don’t just think about it go ahead and get it because it’s worth it.

We're getting ready for a mission trip to Uganda and wanted something to convert from miles and dollars to kilometers and schillings. UnitConverter does that very, very well...and lots more!!! It does have an advertising bar at the bottom of the screen but being a free app that's ok with me!!!

Follow up: The converter worked great for us on the trip. I highly recommend it!!! A 5+STAR rating!!!

by LastGun

UnitConverter has served me and my family for over 10 years now and has never failed us! Old school US citizens learned the imperial system and then we got snafooed by the metric mania. It has dislodged me to some extent but I am 73. It isn't that I couldn't learn something new... (if I actually wanted to) I simply don't. So as long as I have my app box pro, I have the confidence to say "bring it on"‼️
Way to go app box pro 👍

My son downloaded this upon arrival in Europe. I already had downloaded two other apps previous. After watching my son use it I quickly downloaded this to my phone. I use this time and time again in three different countries in Europe. Germany, Czech Republic and Austria. This worked every time I opened it. Thus making budget choices and saving money where I needed to and spending money where I wanted. You can't go wrong with UnitConverter.

Let start out with that I am not paid by google, I wish, I am a normal guy.

I don’t say this lightly, this is a must have app! For the home owner, chef, carpenter, etc, this will be probably one of the best apps you ever get. It does exactly what it claims to do. Converts just about everything.

Now having it, and knowing how good it is, I would even pay for this one. UnitConverter will be the benchmark to all other apps I ever get as far as usability, ease of use, and navigation. Google should be very proud of making a masterpiece. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this does get a $.99 charge.

For the DIYers, get UnitConverter, quit trying to figure it out. For anyone traveling overseas, get UnitConverter for money conversion and sizing. For students, get UnitConverter. It puts all the resources you could ever need in your hands.

I’ve read several complaints stating it’s not easy to switch back/forth between your two selections. Some say you have to buy +version. YOU DON’T. I’m an iPhone user, and unless it is specific to iOS devices, and I doubt it is, you have that feature. Hit the the key in the bottom left corner-the one that has one arrow above the other but they are pointing opposite ways. Ah Ha moment, eh?
This is in the the top 3 apps on my phone that I would never want to be without, PERIOD

by Keith Theisen

We have travelled to 26 countries and UnitConverter has been our “best friend” for quickly figuring out all kinds of conversions for all kinds of currency.

Icelandic Kronos, Chinese Yuan (RMB), Japanese Yen, Euros, you name it...

We also like to stay at Air BnBs.... so UnitConverter has also been very helpful for doing metric conversions for making dishes and figuring out what we need to buy.

Lastly... temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit has been a lifesaver when setting the thermostat to a comfortable level and dressing appropriately for the outside weather.

One quick tip I learned that has been a great “manual” converter for temperature...
Multiply the Celsius number x 2
Then add 32
So 20 degrees Celsius becomes
20*2=40
40+32=72 degrees Fahrenheit

Other than that trick we always stick to UnitConverter and are very happy and confident wherever we go.

Hope this makes your life and your travels easier.

This is my almost daily go-to app to get conversions from all types of metric to English, English to metric conversions...or even to get info on how much is in a English conversion. UnitConverter includes currency, length, distance, volume, mileage, temperature and so much more. I love how UnitConverter easily converts miles into kilometers or vice versa as well as how many yards in a mile, ounces in a gallon, etc. Very simple, easy and fast to use. Use it daily. Best of all, it is FREE and never nags me with update pushes or ads. A perfect app for info you really can use all the time. Thanks!

by Quick235

I have used this converter all around the world. It I love UnitConverter great easy to use has to use has everything you need to convert to and from. I travel a lot I would be lost without this appis my most valuable app. It is very easy to use especially with currency. You can switch back and forth between yours and others easily so you know exactly why you are paying or exchanging. The others temp, weight etc all equally easy to use. I bought the Pro for a one time fee well worth the little I paid

by Wiseask

UnitConverter does it all. It converts currency and units of measurement with ease. I don't understand the reviewers who complained that you can't move back and forth between currencies (e.g, dollars to euros and euros to dollars) because you can, with the push of a button. I saw another reviewer complain that you can't save your favorites, but BFD. It only takes a moment to scroll to your favorite anyway. In short, this is an indispensable App for travelers -- and it's free (my favorite price)!

by You Went Kaboom Whoa

It's nice that it converts between many things, but you often need to reverse what to convert and there's no quick way to do that. For example, if you're set to convert US dollars to New Zealand dollars, you can't quickly switch to converting New Zealand dollars to US dollars. This is something you need to do often and not being able to do so quickly makes UnitConverter far less usable. In fact, I'm switching to another app because of this.

by Expat Aux US

Outstanding app that converts many units, even less commonly used ones. Many comments seem to have missed the fact that there IS a swap button to go back and forth between how many $/€ or €/$. It's the lower left button on the keyboard. Personally I love the fact UnitConverter is fully functional even when not connected to the internet. Great job!!

by Joe Muhammad

UnitConverter has many conversion units, most importantly including currency among the standard weight, time, length, etc.

The one drawback is the user interface for unit conversion, which can be rather annoying to scroll through for currency (which has a LONG list of possible values).

Overall certainly worth downloading, especially given it's free!

by IslandFeedback

I am in constant need of converting measurements, currency, etc. UnitConverter is the cleanest looking, most friendly and easiest conversion tool I have ever used. I use it so much that once I accidentally deleted :( , it was worst than loosing my kids (kidding), no sweat, looked it up and re installed it, no charge since I already had it...plus I remember the pretty color symbol.

GLAD TO 5-⭐️ UNIT PLUS APP...

UnitConverter has everything and all conversion data a person, as I, need for every day use and/or operations.
STOP downloading other apps or you are wasting your time.
I have tried other apps (8 apps), which had some of what I was needed nor do I rate a lot of apps, but after using all sections under or contained in UnitConverter, GLAD TO 5-⭐️ UNIT PLUS APP and WRITE THIS REVIEW but wish to rank UNIT PLUS with 1-🎯 to say, "BULLSEYE, I FOUND IT!"
Some may say this has more then needed; MORE IS BEST THEN LESS, like always!
PS: Thanks for reading now go download UNIT PLUS app. Oh, haven't tried or downloaded the PRO version, but I will soon!
