No Longer Works !?

My converter decided it longer wants to work in my old 3G8GB/iOS3 iPhone!
I re-downloaded and installed it, but no joy!

It WAS fantastic .. but no more!

Perfect minus one thing

The app has helped me in several situations and done a great job every time!
However, the currency converter doesn't include enough currencies... Cuban currencies, for example. Hope this can be fixed...

Very Helpful App

Have been using this app for some time now and find it very helpful. Have not had any success getting through to the developers' website, however. There does not seem to be a reference on the app itself and links through iTunes fail (for me). Wanted to ask the developers to add a "twips" conversion for all the length units. I am a database developer so this unit conversion would be extremely helpful. Generally, I wouldn't put a request of this sort in a review, but it seems to be the only method of getting in touch.
Otherwise, I really like the app.

Works well...except currency rates will not update regularly in the new version.

I have been waiting for Converter to update the currency exchange rates for almost a week, and so far it hasn't, the rates have stayed exactly the same, and it even says "Rates updated five days ago". I am getting 3G service, and I have working WiFi as well. What gives?

Crashes, not even usable

While this worked when I got it, they no longer must be updating. It crashes every time I use it now. 1 star review will remain until the developers fix this. I had to go buy another app because this didn't work. Waste.

Update: I've upped the rating to 3 stars. While you can now perform a conversion calculation using a measurement in the More area, it does crash when you try to do a 2nd conversion using another measurement category in the More option.

Crashes on iOS4 on iPhone4

This app closes down randomly when changing units and conversion categories. It keeps running in the background so it's easy enough to open back up, but you have to start over when this happens.

Please fix this, as there are about 50 other converters out there and I chose to spend my dollar on yours.

Excellent conversion app

This app has been very helpful for me, I've tried many of the other converters out there but this ones interface is easy and simple to use. It doesn't have as many conversions as some of the others but the interface for me makes this one my fav, if they added more
conversions this would be a 5 star app.

Fantastic Conversion app!

This app is great at most conversions and has a clean, simple interface that makes using it completely intuitive. It's one of my most used "utility" apps and was worth every penny!

Great app!

Excellent but has some probs,

This is the best converter for iPod touch and iPhone ever but it could do with some power converstion. Eg. HP (horsepower) to KW (kilowatts) mainly for car converstion quickly. With that problem aside it is the most user freindly converter on the app store!

This one gets it right

I explored many converter apps but this one hits the sweet spot for me. Key advantages are size of the actual unit display (this is what the app's all about, yet others show the amounts at insufficient size); and a keyboard that - duh! - doesn't waste precious screen space on never-used characters.

I think it's unfair to punish the app with a one-star review (as someone did for lacking certain cooking units). It has everything the majority of users will need, and what's more, it does it in a Mac-like way, with a thoughtful interface and - no less important - elegant visual design. Bravo!
