## What is Cook's Convertor Plus?

The famous Cook's Convertor is the most important kitchen convertor and timer App that any cooking enthusiast needs!  

The Cook's Convertor is designed and tested for real-life by real cooks.  It is one of the easiest, fastest, and most powerful cooking conversion utility available for iOS.  It does just what it says, does it simply, and does it well.  We concentrate on features that cooks really need; no bloatware.

Cook's Convertor works on iPhones and iPad screens of any size, giving two side-by-side convertors or kitchen timers of your choice on the iPad.  It will also work with Apple's slide-over feature so you can display webpages or your favourite recipes or other apps side-by-side with the convertor for extra convenience.

1) Converts common volume, weight and temperature measures used in cooking.
2) Works with regional U.S. Imperial, U.K. Imperial and Metric measures.
3) Volume measurements Cups, Tablespoons, Teaspoons, Fluid Ounces, Litres, Millilitres, Pints, Quarts, Gallons.
4) Weight measurements Ounces, Pounds, Grams and Kilograms.
5) Temperature measurements Fahrenheit, Celsius and Gasmark for those old recipes!
6) Volume-to-Weight convertor with independently verified conversions for over 200 common ingredients so you can directly weigh many of them instead of using awkward volume measures.
7) You can add custom food items to the Volume-to-Weight list
8) U.K. to U.S. Volume conversions - for those intercontinental recipes. where volumes such as cups are different on each side of the Atlantic.
9) Substitutions list giving over 50 ways of substituting common missing ingredients whilst keeping consistency and taste to your recipe.
10) Standing times for common roasted meats.
11) Includes length for good measure....pun not intended..;)
12) Flexibly shows three separate conversion results (for example; Fluid Ounces, Cups and Pints) at the same time.
13) Kitchen timers with 3 simultaneous timers to coordinate your cooking endeavours!  The timers keep counting when they reach zero so you can see how much extra time something has been cooking for which can be invaluable!
14) Easy and very fast to use with just a couple of touches to select conversions and measures.
15) Bright, clear, high-contrast layout that is easy to read, with everything in one place.  
16) Ability to use common fractional quantities; 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4, 1/3 and 2/3.
17) Calculator-style keyboard which allows simple computations and also lets you combine quantities of different units.
18) Awesome dual layout for iPads which gives you two complete convertors side-by-side for even more conversion flexibility
19) Useful multi-app support so Cook's Convertor can share the screen side-by-side with your other favourite cooking apps.

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing.

*2020-12-26, version 2.25*

Paid for this as my initial favourite hadn’t updated. This now crashes every time I try to use it. Have no idea why. Would love a clue.  Was very good initially.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-04-21*

The banner page comes up and locks up for about 30 seconds then crashes. 
I-pod with iOS 9.3.5. Wish I could recover the old version I paid for!
I'm giving it 1 star because I can't give it 0.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear about your crash - and clearly I would not wish to release an app version that does not work for everyone and appreciate everyone who has paid for it.  Unfortunately Apple ended support for your 5th generation iPod in 2016 which makes it very difficult for developers to debug problems like these.  However, the closest equivalent device I can try seems to run without any issues.

I have tried to figure out by guesswork what may be going wrong and have made some speculative changes to the app that might help you in the next version (2.07)  This should be available on the app store shortly.  

There are also two other things you can try, if possible, that might shed some light on the problem for me:
1) Uninstall the app completely, then re-install it from the app store.  
2) Try installing the free version just to see if it also has the same issue on your device.

Please contact me at support@meticulous-software.co.uk and we can try and get it working again for you.
