Want unit conversion, favorites on one screen

[vpelton]

I want a unit conversion app that will show all my favorite conversions on one screen. For example, I want 1) km to mile and 2) kg to pound conversions to show on one screen. A few allow me to save My Favorites, and all the Favorite buttons show on one screen ... you have to tap the button to see the conversion, which shows just one per screen.

Many apps show many units for a category on one screen (e.g, for length, shows km, miles, inches, etc. on one screen), but that's not what I wanted.

I just downloaded 10 conversion apps, & none have what I want. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

ConnectPad has a Favorite Categories feature, and also a Favorite Units feature. It might work for you.

Couldn't find "ConnectPad" in Google Play. Do you have an alternate name or name of the developer?

Oops, sorry for the typo. It's ConvertPad. Dev is mathpad@mathpad.com.

The only ConvertPad that shows in Google Play is by "Sunny Moon". Is that it? If so, I've tried that & it only lists conversions in a certain category on a screen. Not what I was looking for.

I also did a search on "mathpad" but it showed the same app.

hi vpelton,

I have recently updated my app "Flexible Unit Conversion Tool" to include the functionality you are looking for in the form of a quick conversions screen.

Let me know how it works for you:

That looks great. I'll be sure to give it a try.

Thank you, that seems very very useful.

The initial problems I encountered with the app is that there are two "mi" length units, one of which is "[statute] mile" and the other is "mil" (thousandths of an inch); mil should probably be stated as "mil".

No "nautical mile" unit was found; the "nm" is apparently nanometer.

Thanks, the way the program adds the unit symbols to the library is not perfect, so sometimes letters get cut off. I adjusted it until it worked on my device (if you look at the screenshots, both "mil" and "mi" are there), so I guess your screen is a different resolution. I did notice that on my phone, under the time category, instead of "min" for minutes, I get "mi" -- the n is cut off. I will see if I can fix this for good.

nautical miles is NM - If you didn't see it, maybe it got cut off on your screen too! If you prefer the symbol "M", or "nmi", you can change it in the settings. You can also try changing the library font size to see if that helps things fit better.
