### 3/5 — WAS a good App. Not anymore 😵‍💫

*2026-08-17, version 2.8.29*

This used to be a great app. Unfortunately, it has degenerated into SUBSCRIBE every mouse click/finger tap app. Sooooo annoying that Mila is going to the dump, dump, dump, right after this review.

### 4/5 — Great app for converting

*2026-07-07, version 2.8.28*

I use this at least a couple of times a week, depending on what I'm doing.

### 3/5 — Mila’s Tools Unit Converter 2

*2026-04-26*

Mila’s Tools Unit Converter 2 I feel is a step backwards.
It’s overly complicated to operate as in the past it was simple.
Next upgrade please make it easier for us people that need to look up things, that’s why we need Mila’s Tools Unit Converter.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the honest feedback. I so appreciate you taking the time.

I'd love to make this better, but I'll need your help. Could you write me with specifics - which screens feel harder to use, what you're trying to look up most often, and what felt simpler before? I read every email personally:

https://bit.ly/WriteScottDeSapio

One quick thing in the meantime: in the upcoming version, 2.8.0, I added a "Home View" feature that lets you set any category (Length, Temperature, etc.) to open automatically when you launch the app, so you can skip the category list entirely. You can set it from Settings → Home View, or from the … menu inside any category ("Open on Startup"). It might help with exactly the kind of quick lookups you're describing.

Either way, please write me. I'd rather fix what's wrong than leave you frustrated.

### 3/5 — One problem

*2026-04-17*

Used to be able to convert blood glucose between U.S. units and Canadian but that feature is gone

**Developer response:** Sorry for the frustration. The mg/dL ↔ mmol/L conversion is still fully supported and present in the app. To get it back right now... 
1. Open the app's home view (the list of categories). 
2. Tap the gear icon in the upper right.
3. Tap on "Visible Units."
4. Scroll down to the Blood Sugar units and turn on whichever you're missing. 

I'll be making releasing an update shortly in an attempt to avoid future confusion.

### 5/5 — Mila’s Tools is great

*2026-04-08, version 2.7.3*

I’ve been using Mila’s Tools for years as units converter. It is easy to use and does simple math as well as copy and paste.

### 5/5 — Still brilliant

*2026-04-08*

So glad that one of my favourite apps continues to be so well supported - and enhanced.  Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the great review! Appreciate you! ❤️🫵🏼

### 5/5 — Soo Handy

*2026-04-02, version 2.7.1*

I Love this App, I’ve been using it for years!!!

### 5/5 — Outstanding Tool Set

*2026-03-30, version 2.7.1*

I am constantly using Mila’s Conversions.
Great for when traveling 
to other countries outside the USA

### 5/5 — Civil Structural Engineer

*2026-03-28, version 2.7.0*

This is best Unit Converter app I’ve come across in the market for the past 7-years.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-03-28*

I’ve used Mila’s Tools for a very long time.  For many years, it was one of my “most used” apps and a favorite. I gave high marks. 

Then, it stopped scrolling for some reason and nothing would fix it, even completely removing and installing. 

The newer versions, however, have corrected whatever the problem was and have so many different conversions it’s the greatest app out there for any type of mathematical conversion.

**Developer response:** Thank so much, Mike! I so love hearing from long time users. Glad you're enjoying the new version! ♥️🫵🏼

### 5/5 — Best I’ve had

*2026-03-25*

I like this converter because it shows all conversions (in the chosen category) at once. No scrolling or switching  from this to that. Just type your number into the right line and all is revealed. Bravo!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the great review. Appreciate you! ♥️🫵🏼

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-03-19*

Been using this tool since forever and paid for a lifetime license. Very please that I still have access after all these years. Great tool!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the support, and thank you as well for the wonderful review! Appreciate you! 🙏❤️

### 5/5 — Retired engineer

*2026-03-18, version 2.6.3*

Absolutely the best all round calculator.

### 5/5 — Why so many changes

*2026-03-16*

Had this app for donkeys years with no to little updates and now 2026 is on its 5th or 6th update.  Thanks for adding classic view back

**Developer response:** Yep. I’m back. I love the app, and really just want it be great. Hence the updates. Hope you’re enjoying the latest update. Personally, I’m using the Classic view as well. 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Simply THE Best

*2026-03-15*

I’m a self-proclaimed converter app snob & I can honestly say that this ad blows all the others away. What’s more, is that this app developer actually communicates & moreover, heeds suggestions when warranted.

To any onlookers wondering whether the Pro version is worth it, I can assure you, this will be the last converter app you’ll ever need, as it’s the Nordstrom‘s of apps…

**Developer response:** You’re too kind, Joey! Thank you so much for the wonderful review, as well as the great suggestions. Keep’em coming. The Slope calc has your fingerprints all over it, and I really love it - it’s one of my favorite parts of the app. You’re the absolute best. 🙏

### 5/5 — Brilliantly useful app

*2026-03-12, version 2.5.1*

This is an app I use every time I’m cooking, measuring and converting anything digital to anything analogue. It’s fantastically useful. Highly recommend

### 3/5 — Not an improvement

*2026-03-08*

Preferred the older version where the options and results was a clear and simple list. This new version with all of the icons and increased scrolling is annoying.

**Developer response:** Hi PandaDrive! Please update to the latest version when you have a minute and check out the new "Classic" view style. I'm really hoping it's what you were missing. Thank you again for the nudge. 🙏

PREVIOUS RESPONSE: Sorry to hear you’re not liking the new version. A couple of tips:

1. The reason the list is longer, causing more scrolling, is because there are now more categories. However, you can hide any category you don’t use simply by swiping left on the category and tapping the hide button (you can always unhide by going to Settings -> Visible Categories and Units).

2. The icon view can be toggled on or off by simply tapping on the list icon in the upper left hand corner of the home view. 

3. Finally, there’s a “Classic View” option being released shortly that emulates the legacy app view style for those who miss it. Keep your eyes peeled!

Thanks for being a long time user. Appreciate you! 🙏

### 4/5 — Math Wizard

*2026-03-01, version 2.5.1*

Dislike the new style. Less easy to read. List view easier. Why change what works? I gave it 5 stars before. Comfort view is not larger as I would like.

### 1/5 — Horrible upgrade.

*2026-05-25*

I rarely use Mila’s tools, so I only need the basic free part of the app. I just installed the latest update for Miller’s tools and now I cannot use it at. It keeps trying to sell me anywhere from a monthly subscription to a yearly subscription. Every time I try to do a Conversion it flips me or to a page to join Miller’s tools pro. I cannot use my free version. This is a very deceptive sales trick. Now my free app is completely useless because every time I go to look something up it goes to the subscription screen. I am very disappointed in what they’ve done to this app. Used to be ab5 star app, not any more.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, VBonanza. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Of the 29 categories in Mila's Tools, 23 are completely free and always will be — including Length, Weight, Volume, Temperature, Speed, Pressure, and many more. Six categories (Cooking, Data Transfer Speed, Frequency, Ring Size, Shoe Size, and Slope) require a PRO license and have since they were first introduced.

That said, your feedback tells me the distinction between free and PRO categories wasn't clear enough. I'll be shipping an update that adds to the existing lock icon a visible "PRO" label to those categories and a clear notification when you open one, so there's no confusion about what's included for free.

If you're having trouble with any of the 23 free categories, please reach out to me at scott@scottdesapio.com so I can help you directly. I read every email myself. I'd like to make sure the app is working well for you.

### 1/5 — Ruined app

*2026-03-22, version 2.6.4*

Used to be great. Recent addition of intrusive ads including some that appear to link to porn of fake security sites make it worthless now

### 1/5 — Pushing you to buy their Pro version

*2025-11-07, version 1.14.3*

This app is now showing the figures in black so that it’s difficult to see the conversion numbers. Then comes the push to get you to buy their upgrade to the Pro version. It’s a disgusting practice. I will look for another app.

### 1/5 — Was 5 stars, but not for XR

*2024-10-06*

Would have given it 5 stars, but 6 years ago, iPhone XR users noted it wouldn’t scroll. Well, I just got a new (for me) XR, and it doesn’t scroll. I even deleted the app and reinstalled, but no change. Would have figured that a fix would have been made by now, but no 😞. I have uninstalled the app, and may install again when/if I ever get a new iPhone. ‘Til then, I’ll have to try another. Sorry.

### 1/5 — It…

*2024-08-28, version 1.14.3*

Why doesn’t the app open. It flashes on for a second and then goes off. I updated from Mila’s Tools Light to Pro, but it does the same. 
Mila’s Tools is the BEST… if it’s working. 
Please help me get it going again.

### 1/5 — Iphone Xr

*2024-08-19*

Still waiting for a fix for the app on iphone Xr☹️

A year later, still useless on iphone Xr

### 1/5 — Pop-ups and screens

*2024-06-19, version 1.14.3*

Use of app constantly interrupted by screens that are hard to work around. I’m on the verge of deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Review Mila’s site

*2023-11-01, version 1.14.3*

Very good and helpfull so I thank you very much norm

### 1/5 — Failure to load

*2023-08-26, version 1.14.3*

I have used the tools for many years, recently decided to upgrade to Pro. Finally got the right PW through and bought the version for 99c
Confirmed through Apple. 
Now neither version will load. Screen disappears quickly. 
Help

### 1/5 — Can’t scroll

*2023-01-25, version 1.14.3*

Used to be a great tool, for some reason it no longer scrolls making it pretty useless

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Every type of unit convinces you will ever need!

*2026-08-14, version 2.8.29*

I can safely say that I would be lost without Mila’s tools on my phone the reference tools are accurate and simple to understand!

### 5/5 — Gr8

*2026-07-15*

This tool has been on the first page of my phone apps for many years. It's earned that precious spot because I use it all the time. With all the new conversations in V2, like fractions and angles, it's even better. Seriously useful.

**Developer response:** Love to hear it! Thank you so much for the 5 stars! ❤️🫵🏼

### 5/5 — Essential App

*2026-06-22, version 2.8.27*

This is one of my most used apps. I’ve been using the PRO version for a couple of years now, and I would happily pay for it again. 
Much appreciated! Tell Mila thank you!

### 5/5 — fixed!

**Developer response:** ❤️🫵🏼
