### 5/5 — The best converter app

*2016-10-19, version 1.9*

Sooooo intuitive - very clever you just type what you want to convert from, the units appears then type what to convert to - awesome. Looks lovely too. Obviously a lot of thought has gone into this app. I've used a few converter apps and this is now the one in my home screen. In fact I kept it around before it was updated for iOS 10 as I was hoping it would be. As soon as it was I was happy to pay for the full app. Anyway, I heartily recommend you check this one out.

### 5/5 — Still the best converter on the store

*2016-10-19, version 1.9*

Super well made and tracks with how my brain works. Just type what you want (with fast and intelligent auto-complete) instead of hunting through long menus of obscure icons.

### 5/5 — Very easy and convenient to use for converting.

*2016-07-06, version 1.8*

This app is very easy to use and function well. Very convenient and useful.

### 5/5 — The fastest unit converter!

*2016-06-17*

This is the best / fastest unit converter out there... Especially when working with multiple formats & multiple conversions. Thank you for making my life easier!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-06-07, version 1.8*

It's fast, has lots of metrics, the UI is great (love the fact that I don't have to select categories first) and calculations are correct - awesome work, thank you 👏

### 5/5 — The most convinient and fast convertor

*2016-02-01, version 1.7*

I moved to the US from Europe and run mad with US measurement system. Lb, F, oz, ft... Oh, Jesus. 

This is the fastest and the most intuitive app for convertion I have ever tried.

### 5/5 — Awesome design and usability

*2015-09-14, version 1.6*

The way this app looks like and works is excellent! And it is still improving. Nice work, guys! 👍

### 5/5 — Need Asian units

*2015-09-14, version 1.6*

When the application is open, my Korean & Chinese keyboards are locked out.  Obviously, those units have not been implemented; like 평, 단보, 정보, etc.
But when they are implemented in the In-App Purchase, I'm a buyer!

I love the design & philosophy of this App.  For people who don't need Asian units, I've not seen a sweeter looking App than this for conversions.

Cheers to the developers!

### 5/5 — Very good

*2015-06-13, version 1.5.1*

Feature request: please add kW to hp to PS conversion.

### 5/5 — Simply awesome!

*2015-05-07, version 1.5.1*

This is by far my most used converter. No fiddling with long lists of units or currencies buried into some obscure submenu. Instead, you just type what you want and that makes for the fastest and the most seamless user experience I've seen in that kind of app (and I've tried a lot).
And to top it off, the watch extension is just awesome: you dictate what you want and that's it! That's exactly what every other watch app should do (I wish there were a calculator app like that).
So just buy Ångstrøm right now and support this great app so it never disappears!
(A little side note: although a pretty cool and appropriate name, the Å doesn't quite help for searchability in the AppStore)

### 5/5 — Nice

*2015-04-23, version 1.5.1*

Nice app. Full support for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Developers are also very responsive to your queries and questions!

### 4/5 — Cool concept, but doesn't match my approach to work

*2015-03-06, version 1.4*

Really nice looking app and interesting concept.  However as a scientist/engineer with 15+ years of performing unit conversions every day, I don't think the way this app is designed to function is consistent with the way our brains have been trained to work.

### 5/5 — Great app and great update.

*2015-03-06, version 1.4*

This is the best unit converter app. 
I mean it. 
Easy, intuitive and fast. 

I'm glad they updated to iPhone 6+

### 5/5 — Brilliant, original, and so convenient

*2015-03-03, version 1.3.2*

This is an app that is so well designed and frictionless to use that it seems like it should be an Apple original. I've used several top unit converters in the past, and while I thought they were great at the time, I've deleted them all in favor of Ångström. I hardly ever bothered to review apps, but this one deserves the praise. Just check out how it works – a couple of taps and you have your answer.

### 1/5 — Conversions are wrong

*2016-12-09, version 1.9*

Even a simple conversion they got wrong.  1 cup is equal to 250ml? Online is 238 ml.  I have to wonder what else they got wrong in there.

### 1/5 — Sketchy

*2014-08-27, version 1.1*

Why does this app ask me to sign into my iTunes account whenever it's opened? Seems sketchy to me!

### 3/5 — Apple Watch app is dictation only

*2019-09-15, version 1.10*

I got this app primarily for the Watch. 
The interface consists solely of dictation, as far as I can tell. 
If I wanted unit conversions by voice, I’d use Siri! 
No controls at all? The Watch app is useless to me. But the iPhone version is excellent.

### 3/5 — Mixed feelings

*2017-09-29, version 1.9.1*

The UI is beautiful and really intuitive, you have to pay to unlock most conversion units. The only thing wrong is it lacks UK imperial measurements like pounds and ounces and only has US pounds. Also the app name means nothing to me and makes the app hard to find. I would encourage the developer to localise the name of the app and also improve the English translations.

### 3/5 — Simple but missing some conversion

*2014-08-27, version 1.1*

It's very simple and intuitive, but some of the basic conversions are missing such as feet & inches to meters, mpg to km/l and others.

### 3/5 — Nice interface but lacking common units

*2014-08-26, version 1.1*

I like the UI a lot but tried to convert miles to nautical miles as a first trial to find that even with the units pack which is an extra purchase it still doesn't have nms. Poor.

### 3/5 — Хорошо, но...

*2014-03-27, version 1.1*

Первый раз все отработало. Второй раз открыл - теперь вываливается после запуска, хотя в мультизадачности висит.

### 4/5 — Great tool but keep it up to date with latest SDK

*2018-12-28, version 1.9.2*

Will be good if this app has extensions like widgets, Siri, etc .

### 4/5 — So easy! Uses lists only if you want to!

*2015-08-12, version 1.5.2*

Easiest and quickest to use  converter I've found. But missing a few - typography, music, clothing, etc. Add all the ones Vert includes and my review will go to 5 stars.

### 4/5 — 👍

*2015-05-12, version 1.5.1*

Все хорошо, быстро, но бесит цифровая клавиатура. Лично мне было бы удобнее иметь на одну строку больше над стандартной клавиатурой с цифрами как, например, специальная клавиатура в приложении экселя.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great converter

*2024-01-04, version 1.11.1*

I’m using the app for more than 2 years so far, it’s a great way to convert measures from imperial to metric and vice versa. Never failed me. Especially when most people choose to look up those things on the internet this app is a life savior when you don’t have a stable connection.

### 5/5 — Easiest conversions in the App Store

*2023-11-19, version 1.11.1*

Angstrom is by far the quickest and easiest unit conversion app in here. Nothing else is as easy and being able to immediately type your starting quantity. Half the time it guesses your target unit right away, if it doesn’t you just keep typing or pick from the list. Dead simple, perfectly executed.

Don’t listen to old reviews saying it doesn’t have UK imperial or nautical measures. Not sure if they were accurate when written but it definitely has them all now.

### 5/5 — Using it for years

*2022-01-25, version 1.11.1*

This is the best converter ever. The one ultimate converted you’ll ever need. Thank you developers, this product is great.

### 5/5 — Finally got rid of all my other conversion apps

*2020-11-25, version 1.11.1*

This is The One. It’s faster than any others and has every conversion I can think of / have ever needed. I do some weird stuff at my job and for my hobbies, so I had built a collection of conversion utilities that were each good for certain things. All but Angstrom have been deleted.

Give it a try - that’s the only way you’ll know if it works for you.

### 5/5 — Love the design

*2019-03-09, version 1.10*

It makes all the difference!

### 5/5 — Still the Betsy currency & unit converter

*2017-06-08, version 1.9.1*

Much quicker to use than every other unit converter I've tried. I love that it keeps currencies updated in the background so I never have to remember to update it before traveling. And there are many elegant details throughout that make this app a pleasure to use. Highly worth it.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2017-04-13, version 1.9.1*

This is a great converting calculator. It has a large amount of data and I recommend it highly.

### 5/5 — Good app for watch

*2017-03-08, version 1.9.1*

The latest update makes this a great app for the watch. It's easier than finding my phone.

### 5/5 — fantastic!

*2016-10-23, version 1.9*

i bought this solely because i needed to convert between macedonian denars and GBP. I was so (pleasantly) surprised that just by typing 5000den the result jumped up straight away. Normally in converter apps i have to scroll and select away before even being able to select the currency i want to use.
Buy it. You won't regret it!

### 5/5 — Most interactive unit converter...worth it's cost

*2016-10-22, version 1.9*

I was looking for something really easy and interactive unit converter and this is the best of all.
