Units is a simple, yet elegantly designed unit converter that looks and works a lot like a calculator. You punch in digits and Units does the conversion on the fly. Its streamlined interface has been designed for day to day use with a primary focus on speed. Speed in changing categories and units, speed in calculating the conversions. And new in version 2, simply type the first few letters of each unit (e.g Pou to Ou for Pounds to Ounces) and Units provides you with the most relevant options.

Units remembers the last used conversion settings for each category. Combinations that you use often can be saved as Shortcuts for quick access later.

Currency exchange rates are updated once a day from our server, but you can also do a manual fetch when you want to.

Pros and cons of Units - Unit Converter for your iPhone app for iPhone and iPad

Units - Unit Converter for your iPhone app good for

When an update is this good it deserves a new review. The little tweaks and enhancements are all great (fine use of the extra screen space for 4" users, pull down list, etc.), but the crown goes to the seamlessly integrated calculator. Incredibly useful; now that its there, its so obvious! The % calculations are great for sales and discounts, especially when they are in a foreign currency. I could go on, but its better you try it yourself :)
Good app, with many units. only in english but great. From and to in reverse way, why ?
Exactly what I need for travel, though had to deduct one start: could not find a way to input a negative temperatur to convert. Low degrees fahrenheit e.g. will correctly convert into a negative celsius temp, but I cannot start out with a negative number. Update: At the time I bought it, Negative temperatures could not be entered, due to the lack of a minus sign. I received a reply from support, that this should be taken care of with the next update. It has been taken care of. Thus I could add the remaining point.
Nicely done so far. Not sure about the "look" but the usability is good IMO. Suggestions for additional modes: pressure, force, acceleration and torque - all with common US, Imperial and ISO units; fuel consumption (miles per gallon (US and imperial) and Litres per 100 km) and a bonus point for a concentration that also allow input of solute molecular mass ! - That should suffice for v.1.1 (:
... Along with things suggested by others, the need for a unit like $ per gallon to € (euro) per liter is desperately needed, to complete the circle of miles/gal. and liter/100 km. Maybe mode of unit prices or similar.
Im using it for a long time. Never had any problems but it helped me so much. Thank you!

Some bad moments

too bad, no french polynesian franc...waste some money...uhh how much in my currency ? I will never know with units !
Used to be unique with its one tap favorites/from/to buttons. The new interface takes that away and adds a stupid calculator instead. Dont update to 2.0 if you liked Units for its interface specifically!
I bought this then discovered the free convertor which is more mac like and easier to use
I bought this app because it was out early. I wish I had waited for other paid converters, even at 99 cents. The UI is not very friendly or intuitive.
Which makes this worthless to me. Lots of other derived units missing. Uninstalling immediately.
The application worked for a couple of weeks. Now crashes each time I try to open it. No support from them. Do not buy. Get convertbot instead.
