Cooking Units 1.0.0.0

Find out the equivalence for common measurement units that are mostly used in the kitchen

Many people who are fond of cooking tend to use a mixture of traditional tools and modern units for measuring quantities for the ingredients used in their recipes, so it may be confusing for some to get instructions in, say, cups, pints and teaspoons, combined with grams and milliliters.

For those who want to put a bit of order in these things, having at hand a utility like Cooking Units could be a welcomed addition to the kitchen instruments, even if it only fits inside a Windows Phone.

Simple and easy to work with front-end

This app was designed to offer quick access to the main functions it has in store and it manages to do this very well, thanks to a neatly organized layout. On the other hand, the graphics are not too great and the background images used are of lesser quality for the most part.

Going through the rather short list of units and moving from one area of the app to another is smooth and without any delays or some other kind of nuisances.

Quick selection and prompt conversion

This application supports a handful of measurement units and each of them has its separate section inside Cooking Units. 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.

As soon as you input the value for the selected unit and press "Get", a list of results will appear momentarily. In one go you will have in front of you all the numbers corresponding to the related measurement units.

Saving or sharing the data is not possible at this time, so you will have to keep the pen and paper close at hand if you think of adding the converted values to the recipes for later use.

Bottom Line

Design / UI7 The appearance of this utility is fairly decent, not too appealing and leaning more towards the practical side, but it helps users get the job done in the end.	Function5 As interesting and welcomed as the concept may be, the number of contained units is far smaller than many users would expect. The upside is that the transformations are done in one go, so users can check out the equivalents of several units at a time.	Security10 This app is very well behaved and discreet, as its leaves everything stored on the phone untouched and doesn't require access to any system areas at all.
Battery9 When it comes to the amount of energy used by this utility things are looking up as the power consumption is minimal, which makes the battery usage remain at very low levels.	Price8 There are a few useful conversions users can carry out with this application, but there are more complete tools out there and they come just as free as this one.	Compatibility9 Thanks to its support for Windows Phone 7.5 and above, this app can be installed onto a wide variety of mobile devices.
