Convert is a unit converter and calculator designed with simplicity, usability, and beauty in mind…
In a nutshell, we created Convert because we just weren’t satisfied with any other unit converter in the App Store. Once you try Convert, you’ll see how much thought and effort went into making it so intuitive and efficient to use.
FEATURES: ✓ Simple, elegant user interface ✓ Built-in calculator… no need to switch to the Calculator app ✓ Unit calculations ✓ A simple way to set your favorite units ✓ Currency conversion values updated live ✓ Copy & paste (for OS 3.0 users and above) ✓ Innovative “Disclosure Picker” for revealing unit names makes selection easier ✓ Revolutionary “Magic Lens” displays only relevant info, reducing clutter
UNIT TYPES INCLUDED: ✓ angle ✓ area ✓ computer (bits, bytes, gigabytes, etc) ✓ currency ✓ energy ✓ force ✓ length ✓ power ✓ pressure ✓ speed ✓ temperature ✓ time ✓ typography (points, picas, pixels, etc) ✓ volume ✓ weight
Convert enables you to easily perform complicated unit calculations…
Having a dinner party and need to triple a recipe? Let’s say your recipe calls for 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of sugar. Using Convert, you can quickly find out that tripling it is a half cup and save yourself a lot of scooping! tap tap tap

Great interface The interface on this app is quite simply gorgeous. It's intuitive, it's clean, and it really makes the conversions easy. The app does, however, seem to be missing just a few key units of measure that seems like they should be there...why no milliliters or centiliters in the volumes? Other than that, and a slight display bug that immediately disappeared on relaunch (I had zeroes floating over the text in the middle column), this is definitely an excellent and extremely helpful app, and one that I'm sure can only get even better.

Beautiful and incredibly useful I previously used Units to help me with my conversions, but this app has taken over both Units and the default Calculator. The interface is amazing and very intuitive, on top of having every conversion I could possibly need.One thing I would love to see in a future version is what the current currency conversion rate is.Keep up the great work, tap③!

Wonderful to use! I absolutely love the user interface of Convert. It's easy to use and perfect for my heavy science-based classes (Physics, Chem, etc).

Not made for/by scientists As I suspected, in the converter there are many units that cannot be "converted" to one another. The app tries to convert kg to N, which of course is impossible since Newton = kg*m / s^2. Kg is mass and N is force.
Also in the "weight" section, the app "converts" lb to kg. This conversion, though, is impossible. Lb is weight and kg is mass. They can't be simply converted to one another.
Similar problems exist in the power and energy sections.
This app is pretty and nice to use if you know which conversions are physically possible.

Great App, Amazing interface The last conversion app I used was ConvertBot, which was beautiful, but was a little clunky to use at times. This app is just as amazing looking, but does not sacrifice any usability. Great app, I would highly recommend. Plus, you can probably find the .99 cents in a couch cushion somewhere right?

Great app, nice UI Need quick, up to date currency conversion? This is the app for that. Need help with your science or math homework conversions? This is the app for that. Need to satisfy your curiosity for picas in a pixel? I do.
Lot of units packed into this great app. At 0.99 you can't beat it really. Stable, clean UI. Thanks taptaptap :)

Elegant workhorse Not only is this app nicely designed but it is very useful too. I have tried a few converter apps but they did not seem thought out. Great app that I will show all of my buddies.

Excellent! This app is slick! The interface is simple, intuitive, and easy to use. It's plain to see that taptaptap has put a *ton* of work into this. I have two complaints. 1. When scrolling from one category to another, I don't need the category picker to reveal itself and take up the entire screen. It should only do that if I tap on the currently selected category. 2. When switching to a new category, the units pickers seem to take a bit too long to load. Other than those to issues, I'd say this is easily the best unit converter I've used for iPhone.

Very Good It would be nice if there was a button to push and flip-flop the conversion. Also a button to view what the conversion is. Other than that great app!

Not for scientific applications I bought this with the intention of using it to convert units in the lab, but unfortunately the units only go down to grams. It is a very elegant app and I hope that in future updates it will include micrograms, nanograms, Molar units, and other small scale units.

UI makes or breaks an iPhone app. I've hated the UI for every single unit converter I've tried. All the rest are ugly, awkward, or require far too many taps just to do a single conversion.
Convert is the delicious exception! Tap tap tap has shown that apps that perform even tasks as simple as unit conversion benefit enormously from careful consideration of their user interface. There is no better unit converter for iPhone than Convert.
And $0.99 is a crazy fair price to pay!

Best conversion app There was a lot of hype over the interface of ConvertBot, but I found it a pain to use. This app is much cleaner, very well planned, and easy to use. Integration of the calculator was a great idea.
Firs release did not have milliliters (mL). Now they've added it. Upping my rating to 5-star, and deleting ConvertBot and Units once and for all.
But please, update the Icon!

Great Application! Just like MacHeist, TapTapTap (same guys) know what they're doing and take their time to perfect it. If you have been keeping up with their site, you would have noticed Convert being there for a while tagged with "more info soon." And it's finally released! It's simple UI and many categories to choose from make this application for anyone.

Intuitive and Elegant This will save me a few trips to Safari to do conversions via Google Search. The program is very elegantly designed to flow with the iPhone UI but is not without its unique flare. Great application, does exactly what it says it does in a fluid way.

One of the best apps I have! Very useful functionality combined with great interface. I tried (and used for a while) some other apps - "Units", "A to Z Conversions", and "Convert" beats them without any doubt.Few suggestions (all minor):- Having some logo or spinning wheel shown during loading time will make first impression even better- I miss "back" button to delete last entered digit (if I mistype one digit in a long number, have to clear everything and start again). Maybe "=" can be downsized to the same size as other buttons - then there will be space for delete- Currency rates refresh status stays green only a few seconds after refresh. Gives an impression it's not up to date. IMHO it can be safely kept green for say 30 seconds after refresh- Some help/info screen would help. It took me few minutes to figure out how to calculate example mentioned in app description from app store (2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons = 0.5 cup). And if it was not mentioned there, I would probably not even know that such calculations are possible.Overall it is one of the best apps I have now!

Huge and Handy Application I am so bad at converting miles into kilometers or gallons into liters. This app does this and SO much more for the John Q laypersons out there. This is my first review and I'm not an easy customer, I was just blown away by this very helpful tool, something I WILL use regularly. This is what great apps are all about!

good app missing the very basic feet AND inches conversion. Otherwise the interface is quite nice and the range of units and currencies included is broad. I hope they expand the currencies.
