Units

Having been spoiled by the power of the Unix Units program, I went looking for a clone of it. Found it finally! Great! By the way, it doesn't just convert, it does arbitrary calculations like "3 ft + 2 in".

Not immediately intuitive. But worth reading the help: this really is very clever.

Awsome app

Great app. However whenever I try converting from 'cups' I get an error: "unit 'cup' is unknown". I even tried the sifted flour example - same deal.

For a long time, I've wanted to have the power of Google's search calculator on my phone. Come to find out, it's backed by GNU units, which is also the basis of this app. Adding in the interface that improves on the built-in calculator, and you've got the best back-of-the-envelope calculator available on the play store. Quick question for the developer: does it do a periodic units_cur update to make sure the currency exchange rates are up to date?

Rules

Lol

Finally, somebody thought of not reinventing wheel and reusing existing code instead for this task! Should be in the top downloads IMO, but maybe people on Android don't like GPL or too many features :) One feature I miss is possibility to overlay the units database - e.g. to update currency conversions. Also integration e.g. with calculator++ would be nice.

It has a terrible interface. It's not set up well at all. You can't select a from unit and a to unit, press convert and get an answer. Nothing is clearly labelled. It's far from intuitive or user friendly. Keep looking.

I use it daily for stuff ranging from fuel consumption to astrophysics. You can input your mass in pounds divided by squared height in inches and ask for result in kg/m2, and it will figure it out and give you your BMI

Great

Don't use it often but it is invaluable on occasions

Useful and open source.

Good.....

Bad, hard to use

This calculator rocks! Share same style with Android default calc, adding convertions and calcs history. Runs great in Droid (aka Milestone)

A veritable plethora of units, though awkward to use. Chris: you can convert from mL to fl. oz., & to the medimnos, an ancient Greek liquid measurem

As far as I can tell its crap! I tried to just subtract 2/3cup from 3/4cup & it gave me 1 1/3cup as an answer. & I was just trying something easy!!!

Doesn't work, force closes. Samsung galaxy

This does exactly what I hoped and is really simple to use.definitely worth having.

Very simple to use once you get the hang of it. Only thing I would pick up on is - when you convert currency, it would appear that it does not connect to google to get the current exchange rates. current rate when I checked today was £1 = 1.13 euro. Otherwise, great little gadget..........

Good, but won't do Ramer or Delisle temperature

It's missing one unit, the cubit. You gotta be careful with orders of operations but that just like any calculator.

I bought a new phone nd was finding this app ....I hv to scroll down a bit longer to found dis app ...there are still many apps of converter here on google play bt it is only this app on which I can trst by heart......this app helps me alot to solve problems of Bullshit physics .....thnxx fr giving us such a nc app

The suggested units make this more handy than the command line version.

Units has long been a staple for Unix command line users. It's nice to find it on Android

I've been using this app for all conversion needs, but today I found it does not have meters per second. What..?

This app knows every concevable unit! Not quite as versatile as the linux cms line tool, but still very useful.

Contains every conceivable unit! Free, open source and requires no special permissions to run

I like it, but it needs some corrections: 1 GB is not 1000000 kB.

Will make use of this

Been looking for something like this (even considered trying to port qalculate) - particularly like the autocomplete. Needs more and useful data units (technically gigabytes is correct but desperately need GiB etc). Ideally more scientific functions on advanced keyboard without needing to use autocomplete so could replace calculator.

Great for simple stuff and the only calculator I've seen on android useful for an engineer.

Perfect. I could not ask for more.

You want to convert something to something else? You want this app.

Could have been simplified a great deal but overall a very good option especially for a wide array of different measurements common and rare.

Works great, can't beat the price!
