Converter Plus [paid]

...the ability to create new templates is so helpful. An obscure need to convert recipes written in “sticks of butter” into lb-oz or grams only took a little bit of brain sweat to create a new template. Now when my recipe database scales up (or down) a recipe for me and concludes I need 54 tablespoons (or .1667 cups) of butter, I have a chance to interpret it properly while cooking. (Eventually, I switch it into grams, like a civilized human being!) Other volume conversions work beautifully for this: tablespoons into cups, Temperature conversions (freezer, fridge, room temperature, oven, broiler) are harder to do on the fly than you might imagine. Weight conversions are also nicely workable with lb-oz or decimal lbs. I haven’t tried any other converter app, so I can’t compare it. But I have bought this for iOS and OSX and had no need to look further.

I paid for this app and have been using it casually for awhile now. I went to download more templates and the apps aid I didn’t have permission. I have before so I went to the App Store and tried to link to the developer’s webpage but it no longer exists. If the developer has just changed web domains then he needs to update the app and store link. If he’s abandoned the app then what a shame for all of us users. I would hope someone would pick it up. Otherwise this is a great app that deserves continued TLC. 4 for app. -1 for developer lack of support.

I have been using this app for a few years, and besides some very industry-specific measurement units, I have yet to find a conversion that I feel is missing. I also really appreciate that you can select a set of frequently used conversions. I generally like the organization of the app as well.

I have been using this app for many years, in a variety of situations, and always found it to be accurate and have whatever I needed. I started with this app when it first came out, and have never bothered to try another.

I've tried several converter apps over the years and this is by far the best, the easiest to use, and at the same time the most comprehensive. A simple tool done right. Put Converter+ right by your Calculator app and you'll have it handy whenever you need it.
