### 2/5 — Good app if it works

*2018-05-03, version 2.2.9*

But since it no longer works it is useless.

### 2/5 — Update missing

*2018-03-04, version 2.2.9*

It must be updated!! I can’t use it anymore!!

### 1/5 — Lost a fan with the charged update!

*2018-01-27, version 2.2.9*

Great app when free! Not paying for it though. I’ll take the extra minute to figure out my conversions... or will find another free app. 😉

### 5/5 — Loss for mankind

*2018-01-12*

What a loss to Apple store!!!!!!

The best converter app that’s been with me for years and years. Oh well, I guess google will have to do the trick now.

### 3/5 — Needs an IOS11 update. Used to be great

*2017-12-15, version 2.2.9*

To the developer, can you please make an updated version so we can continue to use this app! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Not going to update lite version for iOS 11?

*2017-10-11*

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I like the lite version- it's my go-to converter. I really don't need 24 more types of measures or tons of whistles and bells. The lite version is straightforward, visually uncluttered, and not overly crazy to use.

### 5/5 — Need to update this app!!

*2017-09-28*

I use this app quite regularly !! Please update it for iOS 11!!!

**Developer response:** Please, check out full version updated to iOS11. Lite version won't be supported anymore.

### 4/5 — Update needed for iOS 11 compatibility

*2017-09-05*

I was notified by Apple today that this app needs to be updated by the developer to be compatible with iOS 11.  Please do so ASAP, Neuwert Media, because MeasuresLite is a very useful little converter for me.

**Developer response:** Please, check out full version updated to iOS11. Lite version won't be supported anymore.

### 5/5 — Best convertion app

*2016-11-23*

Its perfect and so simple to use! Lately on iphone 7 its been crashing if you move the dials too fast. Please fix and update!

Thanks

### 5/5 — Great!

*2015-08-16, version 2.2.9*

Great app - definitely recommend.
