This past week I've been very busy testing and reviewing 27 iPhone/ iPod Touch "Unit Conversion" apps. Click here to see the best I found.
Since I bought my iPod Touch, I've been downloading every free one I could find, and a couple that were $0.99 but looked worth it. By Thanksgiving I had over two dozen installed, but very little idea how good most of them were. So, I made a grid chart of desired features, including accuracy and number of categories, and evaluated all the conversion apps I had.
I just posted my big overview grid as a blog entry. I also posted a grid listing what categories each app includes. I strongly suggest that you download my grids to your computer and open them with your Adobe PDF Reader if you want to view them. You'll have more control over the zooming and scrolling that way.
Another (bigger) project would be to compile a list of what units each app has in each category. I'm not currently inclined to undertake such a project!
Over the past week I've been posting detailed reviews of all of them to Apple's App Store. As of a day or two ago, all of them have been published. Here is a link to my reviews:
