App Profile: Converter: Units & Currencies.

I work in a field where converting from metric to imperial is a requirement multiple times a day. I’ve tried many programs and they all do the job - but this one has what I consider to be the optimal user interface. It looks great, but it works even better. I have to be able to enter numbers in either format and convert to the other. Most programs force you to tap a button to switch sides or, some make you change units on each side. This one has a switch button if you need it, but you can also do what I do - just tap the left or right side to change focus, and enter your number. Recently, I had a problem with the display on my max sized iPhone where the program would load and in less than a second, it would shrink to a corner. A quick email to the nice programmer and now this updated version pops up and works perfectly! Thank you for the awesome service and the return of my favorite conversion program!

You get user interface design! This is a beautifully designed app and a pleasure to see a nicely rendered skeumorphic visual interface once again. Yes, skeumorphism went overboard with gimmicks like green felt and leather stitching, but abandoning skeumorphism entirely and replacing it with flat design seemed like a complete overreaction and over-correction for the excesses of skeumorphism — kind of like “throwing the baby out with the bath water”. Thanks for showing the world (again) how skeumorphic design done right can be a wonderful user interface that is at once intuitive/easy to use as it is visually beautiful to look at. Nicely done and I hope your prediction comes true that skeumorphism will make a come back soon!

Just bought this app because I love the UI and it’s similar to the one I used to use, unfortunately the developer of my old app stopped supporting it and it no longer runs on the current iOS version. I was excited to find this one and promptly purchased it, I do have one feature request though; I would like to be able to copy and paste values. My old app let you long press or 3D Touch the input or output and copy and paste values. If you add this feature I will change my rating to 5 stars because I truly believe this functionality would make it the best conversion app on the App Store.
