Convertible, Popular iOS Unit Converter Turns One with Major Release - Published on 04/19/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Efecto Pty Ltd today announces Convertible: Unit Converter 1.6, a major update to their popular utility for iOS. Convertible is a powerful, easy to use unit converter for converting many standard and non-standard units of measure and currency. Coinciding with its one year anniversary in the App Store, version 1.6 adds some unique new features to an app that has already caught the attention of many for its original approach to the well worn and often unglamorous task of unit conversion.

Brisbane, Australia - Douglas Buchanan, creator of Convertible and the name behind Brisbane-based Efecto Pty Ltd today is pleased to announce a major update to Convertible: Unit Converter for iOS. Coinciding with its one year anniversary in the App Store, Convertible: Unit Converter version 1.6 adds some unique new features to an application that has caught the attention of many for its original approach to the often unglamorous task of unit conversion.

The most significant new addition is the ability to view and edit a large number of units as "compound units". This allows users to break units into more friendly measures such as twelve feet, six and three quarters of an inch, instead of abstract values such as 12.5625 feet. "The challenge faced with implementing this feature was in maintaining the clean interface that has won so many admirers. I think we've managed to achieve this without sacrificing anything in the process. When a unit has compound values displayed, there is more information on the screen but it's presented in a way that keeps clutter to a minimum and is easy to understand," said Buchanan.

Another new feature is the ability to enter and view some units as fractions. Currently available for inches and ounces, further units will be included in future releases. On this feature, Buchanan acknowledges it's a challenge to get it right: "The fraction edit feature is still in its infancy, in its current form it's there to test the water and see how users respond. During testing we noticed there were many different ideas on how fraction editing should be implemented. It's a difficult feature to get just right and the risk is you end up over-complicating it. The way we've implemented it is very simple, I think people will appreciate what we've done."

There are several other new features including the addition of pressure and power conversions as well as numerous bug fixes and improvements to keep loyal users of the application happy. With close to quarter of a million active users, Convertible has become a popular choice for those wanting more from utility applications than just a plain-looking interface.

Major changes in version 1.6
* Display and edit compound values for many units
* New Conversion Type: Pressure
* New Conversion Type: Power
* Favorites are now grouped together at the start of the unit list
* Increased decimal precision on very small numbers
* Significantly improved currency update speed
* Display and edit fractional values for compound inches and ounces
* New style number pad now matches selected theme
* New theme, Hong Kong
* Bug fixed in temperature calculations
* Conversions returning very small values no longer return zero

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 4.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Convertible 1.6 is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category.

With over 50% of downloads coming from teens, Ask Grandma and the other talking character apps from Big Future Media have had a complete overhaul of the look and functionality of the app series based off of user feedback with this update.

Phoenix, Arizona - Big Future Media has updated its Ask Grandma app, which passed 50K downloads since its launch 3 months ago. This update includes the complete overhaul of the look and functionality of the apps. "We are excited to see such a positive growth trend since launching 3 months ago.

As we continue to climb in the charts, we honor that those using our apps will be who makes them great. Sometimes you get so immersed in an app that you forget what it is to look at it with fresh eyes. And we wanted to make sure we rolled out the new features they wanted with a fun new character," said Chris Cotty, another founder of Big Future Media.

All characters have 25 pre-loaded answers each. Ask Grandma is one of 5 universal iOS character apps Big Future Media has released so far.

Big Future Media, based in sunny Phoenix, Arizona, is an app development company of self-proclaimed app experts that came together under the desire to do one very important, even transcendent, thing - entertain the crap out of people. And there's a lot of room to do more and do better in that arena. Right now it's character apps and games, but with time and the encapsulation of a Hollywood movie script, maybe we can make the world a better place too. Copyright (C) 2013 Big Future Media.
