CONVERT UNITS is built for the numbers a general converter treats as an afterthought: torque, pressure, viscosity, density, thermal conductivity, magnetic flux density, radioactivity, luminance. Close to 40 of its 72 categories are scientific and engineering categories, covering 685 units in total, in a fast, no-nonsense dark interface built to do one thing: give you the answer and get out of the way. Two scrolling lists, a big keypad, and a result that updates as you type. 72 CATEGORIES, 685 UNITS Torque, pressure, viscosity, density, thermal conductivity, magnetic flux density, radioactivity, luminance — plus length, weight, temperature, speed, area, volume, time, power, energy, data, fuel economy and dozens more. CURRENCY, CRYPTO AND METALS - 160 world currencies, with rates refreshed daily. - 126 cryptocurrencies. - Gold, silver, platinum and palladium. - Update rates automatically, once a day, on every launch, or only when you ask. BUILT TO BE FAST - An alphabetical index down the side of every list - jump straight to a unit instead of scrolling past hundreds. - Search every unit in every category from a single field. - Launch straight into the category you actually use and skip the home screen entirely. - Hide the categories you never touch, so the grid stays yours. PRECISION ON YOUR TERMS - Trim results by significant figures or by decimal places, whichever the spec calls for. - Significant figures keep small numbers detailed: 0.030333 at 3 figures gives 0.0303. - Decimal places line every result up on the same column: 2 places gives 13.78. - Round results up, or leave them exact. THE DETAILS - 33 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Romanian, Ukrainian, Czech, Polish, Croatian, Hungarian, Slovak, Malay, Indonesian, Urdu, Tamil, Telugu, and Bangla. - iPhone and iPad, with a layout built for each, plus Split View so you can convert alongside another app. - Mute the keypad and lock rotation if you prefer. - A dark design with bold, readable figures.

Convert's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
