Metro Convert 2.0.2
For those who want to carry out such tasks onto their Windows Phone handsets, a utility like Metro Convert will surely come in handy.
Plain and unadorned GUI for quick operation
The app has a discreet appearance, with some unostentatious drawings on the background of each section made to accommodate some type of conversion. The units are neatly ordered inside the screens they belong to, so as to be very easy to read.
Navigating through the various screens of Metro Convert is very fluent and without any delays or other hindrances. Nonetheless, a visible letdown is the presence of the ad banners that seem to be glued to the bottom of the screen and follow you everywhere.
Instant conversions for several units in the same time
This application covers only a very limited set of transformations, more precisely it is only able to make distance, volume, weight and temperature conversions. It has, nonetheless, the advantage of making the interpretation of the input values for all the listed units in one go.
With Metro Convert you can also have some random facts or conversions displayed on the live tile that is pinned to the Start menu. In order to benefit from this feature, you will have to activate it when the application starts for the first time and prompts you about this facility.
The numeric keypad that appears when you tap a field to enter the necessary numbers allows you to use negative values as well, which can be particularly useful for the temperature conversions this utility is able to carry out.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The modest looks of this app have only a few graphics drawn on the background of the conversion areas, but offer a seamless navigation, despite the bothersome ad banners shown in the lower side of the screen. |
Function3
Very limited in terms of capabilities, this utility can handle a measly 4 types of conversion and only the fact that it performs the transformation for all the units for a certain measurement saves it some points. |
Security10
The application remains very discreet and doesn't need to access any sensitive areas of the system, so it is quite safe to install and use. |
Battery7
The power consumption for this app rises past the moderate mark and makes the battery usage reach high levels. |
Price6
As easy to use as it may be, Metro Convert is barely worth a try because of the serious lacks in measurement units and also due to the irritating ads. |
Compatibility8
The application can only function well onto Windows Phone 8 and above handsets, with a screen resolution of at least 480 by 800 pixels. |
