Unit converters can come in handy in many situations. Whether traveling abroad and needing to convert currencies or temperatures, trying out a new recipe that uses measurements you are not familiar with, or completing math assignments for school, unit converters can be of great assistance.
Here are seven free and incredibly versatile unit converters available for Android mobile devices that can come in handy in a variety of circumstances.
#1. Unit Converter
Unit Converter is definitely one of the most expansive converters that you will be able to download for free. It has well over 50 different categories of conversion units, and even though you’ll probably never have to use more than half of them, it’s interesting to know that they exist. Get quick conversions for the units that you need and learn about new unit categories like luminance and conductance with this very thorough app.

#2. Simple Converter
As the name of the application obviously suggests, this is a unit converter that thrives on its simplicity. There are not that many conversion options, but the most commonly used ones like length, temperature and weight are there. To use the converter, simply tap the category you want and then tap the unit that you are interested in. It’s very easy to use and extremely fast and compact.

#3. Convert This!
Here’s another app that is short on graphics but big on efficiency and features. Convert This! Includes 13 different conversion categories and provides instant conversions. One of the best things about this app is that it supports negative and decimal values as well, which most of the simpler, free unit converters do not.

#4. EZKonvert
Just like simple converter, the name says a lot about this app. The user interface is very easy to use, which is how it gets its name. Simply find your category, enter your number, pick the conversion factor and press “Convert” to get your answer. It is important to note that you cannot just go from one unit to another and vice versa in one move. For example, if you want go from centimeters to feet and then feet to centimeters you will need to find them as separate conversion factors. This is a bit of a detractor, but it is still far from hard to grasp.

#5. Unit Converter Ultimate
The best thing about this converter is the sleek and simple design that it boasts. It is very easy to use and it’s very easy on the eyes as well. Unit Converter Ultimate is also quite versatile and offers tons of conversions options, including length and weight, speed, cooking volume, pressure, time, digital storage, fuel consumption and temperature, among others. If you are looking for something that is very simple and quick-acting, this is one of the best ones to try out.

#6. ConvertMe
The paid version of ConvertMe is one of the most popular paid unit converters, but the free beta version is very good as well. It has more unit categories than almost every other free app with 65. This includes over 1500 units that can be converted through the free version of the app. It is yet another application that is great for learning about new units and measurements, considering that it includes a whole list of not only obscure units, but also ancient ones that are no longer in regular use.

#7. ConvertDroid
ConvertDroid is similar in terms of features when compared to the more advanced free apps like Unit Converter, but it has a slightly more involved user interface with two columns of categories instead of one. There are also some features that ConvertDroid has that most free ones don’t, like mixed unit conversion capabilities and several categories dedicated to shopping and finding the right sizes for shirts, hats, rings, shoes and other articles of clothing.
