One thing I love about my iPhone is how there are so many educational apps on the appstore, so I decided to review a program called Units. Units is a unit converter that acts like a calculator. It has a number pad like a calculator, but it has 4 buttons along the top: mode, from, to, and setting. There are even three user-swappable buttons on the side for your favorite conversions. The picture below explains what I’m saying.
Units Interface (looks like a calculator)
The interface is really simple and looks fantastic, but it takes about 5 minutes to get used to. It feels like an aluminum Casio calculator, nice brushed aluminum and nice plastic keys. One thing that the company should add though is a landscape (sideways) mode, giving you more user-swappable buttons, currencies, and extra features directly on the screen.
Overall, Units is a pretty awesome app. Costing only 99 cents, Units is a must have for students. Period.
