### 4/5 — Super easy to use

*2023-07-01*

Needed a conversion app for a recipe from YouTube for a Hungarian bread recipe. After trying 3-4 apps, I found this one. So easy to use. Deleted the other apps. The bread is great. I am a passionate yeast baker and want to learn recipes from other countries. So, a simple straight forward conversion app is needed.

### 4/5 — CookCalc is great!

*2018-12-23*

Easy-to-use conversion app for cooking and more.  Only unit left out is quart, which is very important for cooking conversions.  Really appreciate the simple layout and the ability to choose any color for the background.  Add quart and it’s 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2013-02-22*

How do you clear this without closing it? If you close it, you lose your colour settings and have to start again but you have cleared it for your next calculation.

**Developer response:** To clear the current amount or calculation, please touch the "C" button.

### 2/5 — U.S.-based. No pints!

*2012-11-20*

It's not a terrible app but you can get better for free. My main gripe is that all measurements are U.S.- based. I find this annoying when I want to convert cups into pints - you can't. It will convert into litres or U.S. gallons but that's not what I want. Also there is a very loud and high-pitched tone every time you press a button and so far I haven't found anyway to regulate it - apart from my iPhone master volume. There are some infinitely variable controls for changing the background colour - I think that effort could have been better used elsewhere!

### 1/5 — Didn't meet my needs

*2012-10-31*

Doesn't have oz or quarts, basics that you need in cooking.. Not happy. Turned out to be a waste of money.

### 4/5 — Nice easy tool

*2011-12-22*

I like this. It's simple to use and gives quick conversions.

### 1/5 — Not good...

*2011-04-19*

This app needs work. First off, the center buttons are far too small and close together. You'll spend more time starting over with your calculation than you will actually figuring out your conversion. There are much better apps in this price range. This app should really be a freebie. Very poorly thought out.

### 4/5 — Cook calc

Love it!
