## What is Engineering Unit Converter?

A streamlined, powerful, user-friendly unit and currency converter designed for use by everyone and built by engineering professionals!  No dials to turn, no gimmicky interfaces, no need to type your unit... just enter a value in the unit you have and see the conversion for the one you want as well as others all at once.  All laid out in big, easy to read text with an intelligent, customizable display system.

There is also a versatile Currency converter included in the app!  

The app also includes a powerful built-in Calculator and a spreadsheet-style Mass Fraction/Mole Fraction Converter.  Also included are a very useful Thermocouple module and a database of physical constants.

Conversions aren't limited to just one pair of units.  There are 40+ different types of units currently in the app.  Set your preferred units or most frequently used units for quick access to the data most needed.  Don't want to see all of the units in a given category?  You can reorder and hide units based on your needs. 

The app is designed to accept mathematical expressions as your input!  For example, if you need to convert 1 3/8 inches to mm, just enter 1+3/8 in the inches cell... and you can do far more complex operations as well!  Detailed math help is available under Settings+.

As another bonus, we have provided a control panel that can be used to tailor the colors of the app to the user's preferences.  You'll find this feature under Settings+.  While you're there, check out the links to our other apps and find us on social media!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0 — 2017-12-20

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Unlocked the app special features for all users as a Christmas present.

Fixed a bug that would crash the app when entering units.

Disabled the currency converter until we find a new data stream.

Fixed an error in the conversion factor for g/L in density.

### 2.8 — 2016-11-04

We've been working on new ways of using unit conversions in complex ways.  We've added a 'Gas Constant Converter' to the Premium Units.  Those who have already purchased the 'Unlock App' in-app purchase will receive this for free.

Three new unit categories have been added, including: 'Velocity (Angular)', 'Fuel Efficiency (Volume)' and 'Diffusivity'.

Fixed issues where some very large or small conversions would yield zero values.  Thanks to @Calvincookieman.

Made the code more lightweight.

### 2.7.1 — 2015-11-20

Added a few units to specific enthalpy and specific entropy.

Added two definitions for standard cubic feet values in moles and flowrate (molar) categories.  Thanks to one of our users for suggesting this!

Other minor bug fixes and enhancements.

### 2.7 — 2015-11-05

We've done a bit of housekeeping to streamline navigation through the app!  Switching between the calculator, currency converter and premium modules is now much easier and faster through a toolbar added to the main interface.

Selecting/adding/removing currencies in the currency module is now much more efficient.  We've also added conversions for Bitcoin, gold, silver, platinum and palladium. 

We've also rearranged some features from the prior release.  The NIST menu is going away (for now) and we've made Thermocouples and Constants into their own separate modules, which are now only available to users who have purchased the "Unlock App" in-app purchase.  The Math Help menu has been moved to the calculator.

As always, we've made other bug fixes and minor enhancements.

### 2.6 — 2015-10-01

We've added modules that utilize NIST standard reference data to the app!  These include a really cool thermocouple calculator, values and symbols for over 300 physical constants and information on elements and compounds.  For a limited time, these features will be available to all users  After the next update, these new features will only be available to those who have purchased the "Unlock App" in-app purchase.  We'll continue to add information like this moving forward as we make Engineering Unit Converter & Calculator a go-to source for science & engineering information and calculations!

Other bug fixes and minor enhancements.
