Convert Units and Currency HD 1.9f
Since there is no shortage of such tools for Windows Phone users, you can check out a variety of apps and Convert Units and Currency HD is one of those who offer a more complete feature set.
Nice looking GUI and practical layout
This application brings a polished interface, with cool graphics throughout and there are even some customizations available, but they will require a purchase, as do the rest of the settings for this utility.
The data is displayed promptly and clearly, easy to read and with all the functions at hand, inside the main screen of Convert Units and Currency HD. A major downside from the visual perspective is the presence of some animated banners that are shown in the upper part of the screen.
Choose the unit and make the transformation on the fly
The app has an impressive database that hosts a huge number of measurement units, that can be combined to obtain thousands and thousands of conversions.
A great thing about this tool is that contains some units specific to certain countries, so its capabilities go well beyond the standard measurement systems we are used to.
The currency list is also comprehensive and you can check out all the entries with ease by browsing the list that has them all lined up in alphabetical order by categories.
Smart search engine and built-in calculator
Should you want to look for a specific measurement unit either to check if it is included in the listing or actually use it in a conversion, you can use the virtual keyboard and start typing the name to get instant feedback from the app. The list of possibilities is narrowed as much as possible and you will get to the desired unit in a few moments.
If you need to carry out some calculations on the fly, this feature is readily available from the main screen. As a bonus, the results of the computations can be copied or kept and used for performing a unit conversion.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The good looks of the interface and fairly convenient placement of all the features is a bit overshadowed by the pesky ad banners that are continuously changing at the top of the screen. |
Function10
It is really hard to find a similar tool that offers as many units as this one and on top of that, Convert Units and Currency HD is also able to carry out other tasks, so it scores top marks here. |
Security7
The utility requires access rights to certain area of the system that it should not be touching, as they are not related to the actual functionality. |
Battery7
The power consumption for this tool is very much noticeable, so the battery usage records high levels throughout its runtime. |
Price9
The basic feature set offered by this app is very good, but only after making a purchase will the user enjoy all the functions and customization possibilities. |
Compatibility9
Most users will be able to enjoy Convert Units and Currency HD onto their handsets as it works well on any Windows Phone 7.5 and higher device. |
