Proposals

I am using Unit Converter Ultimate in my smartphone and I would to see new features in the app. So I want to share my suggestions and here are my proposals.

Force conversions: there are several force units than can be used, namely Dyne (dyn), Newton (N), Kilogram force (kgf) and Pound force (lbf).

Viscosity conversions: there are several viscosity units that can be used, namely Poise (P), Centipoise (cP), kg/m.s and lb/ft.hr

Benefits

The recommended features will be of added value for users. Force units and Viscosity units that are often used, especially for students. Force conversions can help users to convert a force unit into several alternative force units as needed. Viscosity conversions can help users to convert a viscosity unit into several alternative viscosity units as needed. Force conversions and Viscosity conversions can facilitate users to convert force units and viscosity units when completing measurement tasks, practicum tasks and practice questions. The recommended features will be useful for users and will make the app more user-friendly.

I don’t think viscosity is an absolute necessity (of course it’s nice to have), but it’s really quite odd not to have force conversions, especially as we have mass, press and torque—everything connected to force, except force itself.

Thank you for reply tacsipacsi. I study in engineering and I think force conversions and viscosity conversions are important. Because force and viscosity are units that we often use during practicum, measuring the performance of factory equipment and testing various substances in the laboratory and mathematical calculations. I think force and viscosity are important, especially for students like me and all engineering students must use conversion units to facilitate them and all engineering students must be related to the measurement of force and viscosity.
