## What is Unit (Converter)?

Convert units by sliding a scale under a needle.

Unit puts conversion at your fingertips: drag or flick a scale, tap a mark to snap to it, and read both units at once. No typing needed, though you can tap a value to type one.

The companion for travellers, scientists and students, and for anyone living between two systems of units.

Features:
- Temperature, Speed, Length, Volume and Weight on dual scales
- More than 700 units in 49 categories: pick any two units for one scale
- Clothing, shoe, bra and ring size tables
- Compound values (feet and inches; hours, minutes and seconds), and hexadecimal, octal and binary numbers
- Instant search by name, symbol or synonym, in ten languages
- Measure: live speed and altitude on iPhone, distance to a place or from where you are, and a true-size ruler
- iPad sidebar and resizable windows
- VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Dark Mode

Privacy: Unit collects no data. Your location is used only on your device, only while a measurement is open.

I've had this app back on iOS 3 and I've used it til this day. It's really handy with TONS of units and the mini calculator is welcomed. Thanks for keeping this app supported.

### 5/5 — Useful for travel.  Clever interface works.

*2011-11-28*

My family will be living abroad fir a while.  This app hilites the types of units people need most for daily living.  The interface, involving tape measures, thermometers, speedometers, scales, etc that are marked with dual units, is slick and useful.  Every measure stays right where you left it, making it easy to come back and resume where you left off.  This app is Useful First, not Geeky First.

I love this app and use it all the time!  I live in Korea currently and probably use this about once a day.  So far I have not been able to find a unit it would not convert.  Great interface and beautiful design.  Make sure to turn iPhone sideways to get to the full list of conversions.  Enjoy!
