### 3/5 — Option selection

*2017-10-11*

The app is great but I wish I’m able to select different scale than bond, would make easier and ideal. I would buy it if it’s offered.

### 1/5 — Way lame

*2011-11-24*

Not interactive enough. Have to spin a dial. Is this a kindergarten app? Let the user type in the exact number. Like 111 lb cover so we know it equals 300 gsm. At least the only thing I wasted was the time it took to download the app.

### 5/5 — Worked great on my iPod touch

*2011-05-14*

Works great!

### 1/5 — Hmm dissapointing

*2011-04-18*

This is a waste of time. This would be much better if it calculated paper weight per thousand sheets, price per thousand sheets and price per tonne. These would be more useful in a printers app

### 1/5 — Lame

*2011-03-15*

I'ts free big deal. That's about what it's worth. Any printer that dosn't know these basic conversions by heart is not worth his salt.  I expected more options; not just bond to whatever.

### 5/5 — Very convenient and easy to use!

*2009-11-07*

Program does exactly what it says! Incredibly convenient for anyone who has to deal with paper stock!
