Amount App Features
Amount app for iPhone can be a bit confusing in the beginning as it works a bit different from usual conversion calculators. For example, it got a wide variety of categories (such as Angles, Area, Cooking, Currency, Energy, Length, Power, Pressure, Speed, Storage, Temperature, Time, Volume and Weight). The categories further breaks down into units that can be all converted to/from each other. If you want to convert a number, you either type it into the title screen or inside a category. Now, tap the unit you are converting from and all other units under the category will be converted automatically. In order to edit units in each category, shake the device or tap the name of the category at the top of the screen.

While your requirement might need only one unit, having some more on the page gives you a healthy reference of sorts every time you convert a number/unit. The currency calculator updates in real time that it’ll come handy to frequent travelers.
On the downside, the app does not permit much customization. You can’t move around the units, even if some of those are frequently used ones. But you can hide the ones that you never use, alongside changing some basic setting such as animations and sounds). Also, the app does not score much on its looks, thanks to the rather dull looking white color scheme it got. Amount application is compatible with iOS versions 5.0 or later.

It is pretty quick and easy to use for most parts. Lack of customization options might annoy few. We recommend it to anyone who routinely performs unit conversion calculations as part of their jobs.
