Pros and cons of Convert - Unit Converter (PBF) app for iPhone and iPad

Convert - Unit Converter (PBF) app good for

Great app for traveling. Really handy in Europe but you need to add Argentine Peso pronto.
What a wonderful, amazing, beautifully designed app! Wonderful for on the go instantaneous conversions! A few more would be nice (more tech ones) but other than that amazing! 5 stars for sure!
Well worth the money. I really like the simple context driven user interface which makes selecting your conversion from and to dead simple. A must have for any iPhone/iTouch owner.
Simple interface is very smooth, no crashes or glitches experienced. Varying font size with the number of decimal places entered is a nice touch. A wide range of conversions is available but please add Rankine to the temperature conversions.
Well seems as if all the bugs were fixed . Data conversion is there, Euro works great etc. Extremely simple to use and looks great. Perfect app.
Finally, finally, they have done something about inaccuracies in currency conversion. I have only looked at U.S. dollars and Indonesian Rupiah, but finally they fixed the problem. Currency conversion seems to be working just fine now. I would give this application 5 stars if I was sure that the developer would fix problems with the app rather than blaming the purchaser. When I reported a problem before the new update, I was basically told that it must be something I was doing wrong. Turned out not be be the case since they fixed one of the problems I complained about in the new update. Moral of the story? Try to respond to consumer needs rather than trying to avoid blame for problems the app has. You will sell a lot more product if you do, and you will get much better reviews.

Some bad moments

Without a DOUBT.... the best performing conversion app in the "App Store"! As a Realtor, I havent found any apps which are truly worth using, nor have been compatible. This app comes in very handy for all of my LAND CONVERSIONS! Also is the best looking conversion app I have used so far. Many thanks to the Creators!
Because there isnt a minus key, it is impossible to convert negative temperatures. A big waste of $4.99.
Regretted my purchase within 2 min. Wish I could get my $s back. Very limited conversions available!
Waited over a year for an update to have the "beep" sound turned off. At least an option for that. Moved on to another convertor.
there is nothing in this app that I cant get in a free app, sooooooooo bummed I payed for it, thought it might have something better in it, waist of $5!
Good basic converter. However Retina Support unusually means full screen on iPad. However this App only shows as an iPhone app on iPad with black borders around the display. Decent App otherwise on iPhone.
