I'd like to second that. I really would love to see this implemented as a native app. Not to criticize the Converter app by vladimirk, but this one beats it in its simplicity and efficacy. Just consider the simple conversion of Fahrenheit into Celsius:

Converter:

1. Tap "Measurement"
2. Tap "Temperature"
3. Tap "From"
4. Tap "Fahrenheit"
5. Tap "To"
6. Tap "Celsius"
7. Enter value

Result: Temperature in Celsius

iConvert:

1. Tap "Temperature"
2. Tap "Fahrenheit"
3. Enter value

Result: Temperature in Celsius and all other units as well

Someone please use this concept and make a better convert app.

This is like a dream application for me -- it is exactly what i have always wanted. Thank you so much !

Don't you watch films? Pressing loads of things really, really fast, makes you look really, really cool!

Iconvert is the best. I made an app so that an icon appears on the springboard and links to it through safari.

I'd like to see it made into a native app and the developer even says on the page that you can download it and do as you with with it.....

I went a bit further and put it on my iPhone. I access it through Apache.

vladimirk, thanks for your time!
I just installed and tested your application (rev 0.14). It looks really good. I will suggest to change the fisrt page (when you open the program) it should go to the measurements page every time you open the application.
keep the good work!

edit: rev update (sorry about it)!

I agree that iConvert is simple and efficient (and currently more functional than Converter.app). In fact, I guess I wouldn't even try to write Converter.app if I would know that iConvert exists...
But, I don't agree that it is always better to see all the results in one table (iConvert case)... I don't always care about all the units: usually I just want to convert between two of them (inch to cm or liter to gallon), and it is more user friendly to show only relevant units...
I've made some changes to reduce the number of redundant clicks:
1. Tap "Measurement" - last measurement is preserved, so you don't have to choose it again...
2. Tap "Temperature" - look above...
3. Tap "From" - No need to click, the screen opens automatically when new measurement is chosen
4. Tap "Fahrenheit" - the last chosen unit is preserved
5. Tap "To" No need to click, the screen opens automatically when new measurement is chosen
6. Tap "Celsius" - the last chosen unit is preserved
7. Enter value

I hope those changes will ease your pain...

As for showing all the units - if I'll have more spare time (and motivation) I'll create it as a second option for using Converter.

Hmm I hope we're talking about the same application, cuz the latest release of mine was 0.14c...

Thanks for your comment, I will probably make it optional (through settings) in the future releases.

you were right, my mistake! I already edited the post.
Also, what if by mistake I select the pressure option instead of the power? right now i will need to enter from & to units before been able to select the power option. (power & pressure just an example)
could there be an option of going back (or something similar)?
thanks!

Thank you very much for this app Vladimir!

It looks really nice, and is very user friendly!

Yes, I've already received complaints about that... Will fix (add back button) in the next release

vladimirk, thanks!
I'm using latest rev. It is working really good!
