What a fantasic apps ! Both are incredible easy to handle. One suggestion: the sound on convertbot is very soft and not adjustable. It may be a little louder if you ask me.

Cant wait for the next app!

if you choose a correct international format converter works perfectly so it’s somehow something related to comma.

The problem is not only the comma or the point. The currency converter won’t work either. 5 euros aren’t 5 pounds
Regards and txs for the effort

meh… tons of typos, my english is really poor.
in the first suggestion, I mean “wheel”, not “will” and I forgot to write “(*)” before last paragraph.

well done! :]
I’ve known your company from weightbot I’ve saw on a colleague’s iphone. it was really cool even if I didn’t need that application (I’m not lazy but already do that on Wii Fit, when I’m not lazy of course). ;P
I liked it so much I felt I had to support your great work so I bought Convertbot. I was a bit scared from the comments on italian AppStore about wrong currency conversion but I guessed it was because maybe they didn’t have an active internet connection for updates. I was a bit shocked to realized nothing worked. then, coming to your website I read you don’t support jailbroken devices and I scared that was the reason, since mine is(*).
now this post made me happy again and as previous commenters I really appreciate your honesty (as well as I enjoy the blog part of website where you explain how and why your application are created).

maybe this is not the right place for a pair of suggestions but I’ve not the patience to write another post elsewhere so please forgive me.

it would be nice (even if not necessary) to have a bit of intertia in the will, like in default iphone lists (or a gun’s drum, just to give the idea). I don’t know how much useful it would be but I’m sure it will be cool and I’d play a lot with it. ;]

and I’d also apreciate an option to make units selections a bit faster. you select a “from” or “to” button, choose unit and then press directly on other one. as it’s now you get an error because you didn’t press “ok”. I know it’s about the “game like experience” so like “wrong button” but after a while it becomes a bit irritating because sometimes you just need to do a conversion as quick as possible. so, not to remove the fun experience, it would be nice to have an option about that so users can choose the way they prefer.

looking forward for the update and thanks.

have a nice day,
Andrea

I’m a good JB guy, no cracked app or so, I just need it because I’ve a business SIM and I need to use a prefix in front of phone numbers to differentiate work and personal calls for billings. since iPhone sadly doesn’t do that, or I double hundreds of numbers or I modify the iPhone formatting function to consider the prefix as an area code. and only JB allows me to do so. maybe i’m very OT but I wanted to show not all jailbreakers are bad. of course a great percentage of users use it to steal software and this is sad and wrong. :[

Now it makes sense!
Ok, Let’s wait for the new version then. I’m from Brazil and been using weightbot for a long time now. That’s why I bought convertbot without thinking twice.
And thanks for the honesty!

Regards,

Edmundo

First of all, thanks for this cool app! I saw it and immediately bought it ;-)

But there’s one thing you could make better. I do not say you have to do it but it would be cool and i don’t think it’s a lot of work; What’s about a possiblity to enter new convertations, for example “dm” in the lenght section.

So – what’s about a little update?

I was wondering why this app wasn’t working properly here (Germany). Thanks for the Info and keep up the cool work!
