Unit Converter by Simply Advanced 1.13.0.0
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 for each of the calculation it performs.
Unappealing but practical GUI
The application offers a clean, though less appealing GUI, where the focus is clearly set on practicality rather than good looks. The graphics are simple, but quite balanced, so each element of the interface is clearly visible and easy to distinguish from the others.
Navigating through the various sections of the utility has a very fluent feel to it and there are no delays or other similar kind of 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 that seem to be glued to the bottom of the screen.
In order to get rid of these annoyances, there is a paid version of Unit Converter that you can acquire using the built-in upgrade function hosted in the main menu.
Select a category and make all the transformations in one go
In order to perform the operations the app is designed for, you will have to select the desired measurement unit category first and this can be done very easily right from the home screen.
There are all the common unit categories you would expect, like length, area, speed, volume, pressure or temperature, but also a few used somewhat seldom, such as the ones for flow, bases or liquids conversions.
A great thing about Unit Converter is the fact that you no longer have to pick pairs of these units, like with most apps of this kind, instead you can just type in the amount you want to transform from a specific unit and the transformation will be made instantly for the entire list.
The conversions are carried out as you type, so there is no waiting time. More so, there are a few very useful modules that show you the equivalence of certain commonly used fractions as well as a neat prefixes converter that are very rare if at all available in similar tools.

The moderate to high power consumption that this application has affects to a lesser extent the battery usage. |
