The Converted is a new app for iPhone and iPad—a radical new way to convert. It will take a few minutes to become familiar but once you are it's second nature and you have become the converted.
The app is perfect for quick, at a glance conversions. Like when shopping abroad or to get a sense of what they mean when foreign units are used in films, books and recipes.
It started as a side project by Ideon founder Hans Petter Eikemo to explore novel new ways to convert. Hans Petter explains:
While I've found value converters to be 'good enough' there are always better ways to be found. After an initial idea I spent a few hours prototyping and realized I was on to something.
After some encouraging feedback and insightful input from colleagues and friends I figured it would be simple enough to make in a month and got going. Four months later we had an app.
When you use The Converted you don't only get the answer but perspective too, a sense of the units relate. It’s an app that actually make you less reliant on it the more you use it.
