Hey guys! I love the Convertbot and Weightbot! Currently I’m studying the SDK, and one think I really don’t get is: How did you come over the low level problem of delayed touchesMoved: events in the scroll wheel? Actually, after touchesBegan:, there is a 0.3 seconds delay until the first touchesMoved: fires. I was wondering the whole day now how you made your scroll wheel so responsive ;) maybe you can share your solution or secret here. That would be kewl!!

Grains & parsecs in the weight & length categories respectively would be great. Some kind of dealing with moles, atomic mass & so on would be nice as well, though I’m not sure how you’d implement it as multiple categories are involved.

Would it also be possible to add a ‘minutes + seconds’ category to the time converter please?

How about adding a conversion for numeral systems (binary to hexadecimal, etc.) including fractions?

I downloaded version 1.0.1. And yes, the currencies are now updated. Thanks!

As for missing categories/units: I’d like to see Time Zone conversion added to the list.

@Jim – For some reason Youtube screws up the playback of HD video. It’s like they change the frame rate and it makes the video jerky.

@René – The update function works for currencies in 1.0 unless your set region causes the bug. 1.0.1 does fix the bug.
