Cooking Converters 1.11.0.0
This may make getting instructions confusing for some when, let's say, cups, pints and teaspoons are combined with grams and milliliters in the same recipe.
To quickly get around this possible drawback you can try out one of the dedicated applications that are available in the Windows Phone Store and Cooking Converters is one of the possible choices.
Plain and simple appearance, focused on practical use
The application offers a clean, though less appealing GUI, where the focus is clearly set on practicality rather than good looks. The graphics are simple, but quite balanced, so each element of the interface is clearly visible and easy to distinguish from the others.
The numeric keypad stretches across half of the screen, so the buttons are easy to distinguish and press, while the lists of available quantities are easy to go through since they take up most of the space in the conversion area.
Also present inside the GUI are some flashing ad banners that can be quite disruptive at times, as they keep on changing in the lower side of the screen.
Choose the units and carry out the conversions on the fly
This application supports a handful of conversion types and each category, namely volume, mass, butter and temperature has its separate section inside Cooking Converters.
In order to obtain the equivalent values for compatible units, you just have to access any of them and carry out the conversion on the spot after picking the measurements you want to transform.
This application makes it possible to swap the two measurement units and it uses the same source number as reference for the necessary calculation.
Of the aforementioned categories, the one with the most measurement units and consequently more conversion possibilities is the volume converter, followed by the butter conversion module. Surprisingly, the mass converter has very few units in store, while the temperature conversion section is the comes last, as is to be expected.
The main reference systems used are the U.K., U.S. and Metric measurement systems, but there are some units specific to Canada as well and also the common teaspoon, cup or coffee spoon units, to mention only a few of them.

Bottom Line
Design / UI5
This app comes with a less appealing interface and many adverts inside, but the well structured layout and seamless navigation earn it a few points. |
Function6
As interesting and welcomed as the concept may be, the number of contained units is far smaller than many users would expect. |
Security7
The utility accesses some areas of the system unrelated to its functionality, like the phone dialer, owner identity and the multimedia libraries. |
Battery4
The power consumption is pretty high as Cooking Converters needs a lot of energy to function properly. |
Price9
All the features offered by this application are completely free of costs, but there are some annoying ads to put up with. |
Compatibility10
Users who own a Windows Phone 7 and above device will be able to have this app installed and function correctly onto their handsets. |
