We’ve all been there; you ask someone for directions and when they tell you how far you’ve got to go in kilometres, you’re left scratching your head trying to work out far that is in miles. Well, with the great Converter Touch app for Symbian smartphones, you need never look so confused again.

This tiny 522KB app can be downloaded in seconds and provides an easy way to convert a vast range of units just as quickly. When you launch the app, the main interface looks great and is simple to navigate. A list of units at the top of the screen is displayed using a clear set of icons and you can use your finger to swipe horizontally and scroll though all the available options.

Once you’ve selected a unit, you can then choose which type of measurement you want to convert, by tapping the screen of your Nokia Symbian phone to access a drop-down list. With your units confirmed, you can then type in the numerical value you want to convert, using the large onscreen keypad, and see the converted values update as you type, for an instant conversion.

If you make a mistake as you type, you can either tap the Clear button to delete a number at a time, or you can hold the button down to clear the contents entirely. And with a huge range of units to choose from, it’s never been so easy to convert miles to kilometres, kilos to pounds or even bars to PSI, making Converter Touch an indispensable app for your Nokia smartphone.

Converter Touch can be downloaded free directly from your Nokia phone or you can find it online at the Nokia Store.
