Convert Now 3.0.0.0
For those who keep their Windows Phone at hand most of the time, a tool like Convert Now might be very useful, as it brings a set of relatively common measurement units and allows users to carry out conversions in no time.
Uncluttered GUI with a well-thought design
The appearance of this utility is quite plain, relying on a screen populated with some large tiles, each containing some neat icons that illustrate the purpose served by each of them and also some text labels. The colors and graphics are nothing out of the ordinary, but the layout is definitely well organized and easy to use.
The numeric keypad stretches across a third of the screen, so the buttons are pretty easy to distinguish and press, while the list of available measurement units is on full display inside every category, so you can view the conversion results for all of them at once.
Selecting the type of conversion you want to make is very easy and can be done in more than one way. More precisely, you can either tap on the category icon from the home screen or simply swipe to the left to switch the modules.
Fast conversions for several units in one go
Convert Now covers a relatively small number of categories, but it supports the main systems of units, namely metric, US and Imperial (UK). Selecting the input units is a breeze, as all you have to do is tap the one you want to use.
After you input the amount to be converted you can view the results immediately because the transformation is done instantly, as you type in the numbers.
This utility is made to help you carry out some of the more basic conversions, namely those for area, length, weight and volume, but it also has in store some that are less commonly used, like fuel, speed, pressure and angle.
A very neat addition to the otherwise slim feature set is the ability to select which units are shown and thus used for every category. This can be done in a few moments, by accessing the settings area corresponding to each module, with a tap on the upper right icon. Then, you can check or uncheck the units as you please to make them visible or hidden from that category.
