Unit Converter 1.4
Windows Phone users can opt for one of the numerous apps made specifically for such purposes and Unit Converter is one of them. Well prepared for several kinds of transformations, this tool ensures ease of use and accuracy for each of the calculations it carries out.
Uncomplicated interface focusing on practical use
The simple GUI of this application is built for ease of access, as it offers in the main screen a list with all the categories of measurement units it supports, so you can start the conversions on the spot.
The looks are less attractive and definitely bent on practicality, as they lack elements that could be considered visually appealing. Fortunately, navigating through the long lists of units is very smooth and without any lag or glitch.
Perform a wide variety of conversions on the go
Unit Converter covers a lot of categories and supports the three main systems of units, namely metric, US and Imperial (UK). Selecting the input and output units is a breeze and there is also a handy button for reversing the direction of the translation.
An important mention that has to be made is that the app can work with negative values as well, beside the regular, positive ones. The utility offers a function for clearing the application's cache with one tap, but it doesn't allow copying the conversion results as text, which would be a very useful feature if implemented.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The decent appearance of Unit Converter doesn't come with any possibilities of customization, so users will have to be content with the well organized layout of the functions and commands. Browsing the lists of measurement units and the main categories is very fluent, so it earns a few points for that. |
Function8
The app will take care of a good deal of conversions, as it can handle the transformations most commonly used nowadays. For some units it could receive some upgrades in terms of subdivisions, while the main list could also be enlarged to cover even more areas than it does in the present. |
Security10
This utility is perfectly safe to use as it doesn't touch any of the areas on the phone where private information is stored and so it scores top marks in this respect. |
Battery9
Using Unit Converter requires a fairly small amount of energy, which means it manages to keep the battery usage very low at all times. |
Price10
All the conversions it is capable of are offered free of cost and the complete lack of ads and annoying prompts makes this app a really valuable one. |
Compatibility9
All devices that are powered by Windows Phone 7.5 and higher will be able to run Unit Converter without any problems, as it only needs a WVGA standard screen resolution to function correctly. |
