Description

Convertbot is a unit conversion robot. Convert currency, length, mass, time and much more in an exciting new way! Converting numbers will never again be a mundane task. In addition to its innovative interface, our robot is smart enough to convert to and from mixed units. Are you 5 foot 9 inches tall? Other converters require you to convert that to 5.75 ft in your head before being able to enter it. Convertbot allows mixed units like Foot + Inches, Pounds + Ounces, and more! Download the unit converter from the makers of the award-winning Weightbot today!

Missing the obvious (2 stars)
Ok, so what would someone in basic construction need? How about a volume conversion of cubic inches to cubic feet and cubic yards. Isn't it obvious?

Interface is too clever for its own good (2 stars)
This app's interface looks like something out of a Star Trek movie (and I mean that as a compliment), but it's just too clever for its own good. In real-world use, it just ends up being cumbersome to have so many taps and turns just to convert from one unit to another.

As a practical example, consider the screenshot above with the various length-related units like "mm", "cm", and "in". As you might ima

Can't convert to in/ozs in the "Work" category! (2 stars)
A major oversight considering how often there is a need to convert from N-M or in/lbs to in/ozs when working with torque wrenches. And yes, I can do the conversion in my head, but this application should be capable of doing it. I e-mailed the author of this application concerning this oversight long ago, but there was no response and no update. How hard can it be? 2 stars until fixed 🙁
