Unit Converter (Paras Wadehra) 1.6.0.0
For those who keep their Windows Phone at hand most of the time, a tool like Unit Converter could prove its usefulness quite rapidly, as it packs a set of relatively common measurement units and allows users to carry out conversions in no time.
Practical front-end, without any bells and whistles
The appearance of this app is quite plain, relying on a screen populated with just under a dozen large tiles, each tagged with icons that illustrate the purpose served by each of them. The colors and graphics are nothing out of the ordinary, but the layout is definitely well organized and easy to use.
Navigating through the lists of supported units is very fluent and without any visible flaws. Nonetheless, there is a quite perceptible nuisance that appears in every screen of the app and that comes in the form of some continuously changing and flashing advertisement banners.
Choose the units for conversion and insert the numbers to get the result
Unit Converter offers a very simple mode of operation, so you will be able to carry out the needed conversions in no time. You just have to pick the source and output units and input the value to view the result, which it is calculated as you type.
This application makes it possible to swap the two measurement units and it uses the same source number as reference for the necessary calculation. You can pin to the Start menu a shortcut for each type of conversion, so you will be able to get to the most often used transformations with one tap.
With regard to the units and categories, the utility still has some deficiencies as it lacks some that are covered by other similar apps. There is another letdown from the functional perspective and it refers to the fact that Unit Converterdoesn't allow users to copy the output.
