Customer Reviews
Great App
This has become my favorite unit converter - along with Convert I can now convert almost anything to anything! Love seeing the description of each unit and also the fact you can see all results at once. Would like to see more unit types, also the ability to add my own units would be the icing on the cake - future release perhaps?? Good work.
Endless information
This app has the creative combination of usefull information and fun facts that will inspire everyone to think alittle. I use it everyday at work, it is the fastest way to translate numbers. I use it alot at home to teach my kids about the realistic and small world around us . After I found a minor bug, I emailed 5ft monkey and they responded right away. I enjoy all the updates and fun facts.... Thanks 5th Monkey for a "wicked" App. YOU ROCK
Very helpful app!
As someone that has difficulty visualizing one ton, this app is great! It converts measurements (length, weight, etc.) into real, tangible things. For example, one ton is equal to about four lions. It is very easy to use, very clear and to the point. I love it!
