Unit Converter 1.4

A wide variety of conversions to and from numerous measurement units right at your fingertips
There are numerous instances in which users need to transform some values from a specific reference system into another, so to make this conversions easier for everybody, many dedicated utilities were built.

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.
