Convertizo 2 - App Review



Converting units (whatever they are currency or something else), can be a bit of a chore.

This App makes it easy and you don't need to remember constants.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
The home screen contains 14 icons, as well as change theme cog. You can choose from the following sections:

Angle
Area
Currency
Data
Energy
Flow
Length
Power
Pressure
Speed
Temperature
Time
Volume
Weight

Tap any of these and you are taken to the calculation screen for your chosen conversion.

They are all similar in that the top left allows you to choose the 'from' category and the next line the 'to' category. Use the large keys on the calculator to enter the 'from' units and see the conversion appear instantly. There is a key to quickly have the calculation ion the opposite direction, keeping the selected number as the source.

Cost
The App costs $3.

Indispensability
This is a very useful App, rather than one you are likely to use every day.

Dependability
The App works as expected. The only proviso is that (only for currency calculations), you need an internet connection to update exchange rates.

Security
This is a standalone App with no hidden vices.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Very useful tool.
