How to use Conversion Buddy

A quick guide to the five main areas of the app.

1

Home: choose your starting point

Select a region profile such as UK mixed, USA or Metric, then browse memorable examples for weather, height, driving, cooking, fuel, baggage, rooms and drinks.

My Data: save values you use repeatedly

Save a conversion, give it a useful name, choose a group, add optional notes and pin important items to the top. Examples include baggage allowances, tyre pressures, personal measurements and room sizes.

5

Explore: understand the differences

Open short explanations and stories about feet and inches, UK and US pints, fuel economy, old measures and other surprising measurement facts.

Help and Settings

Use the compact buttons at the top of the main screens to open the quick guide, common questions, privacy information and app settings.

Region profiles

The selected profile affects the app’s preferred starting units. UK mixed combines miles, mph, stone, UK pints and Celsius; USA uses miles, mph, pounds, US gallons and Fahrenheit; Metric uses kilometres, kilograms, litres and Celsius.

Practical rounding

Some displayed examples are deliberately rounded to useful everyday values. Use approximately or the ≈ symbol as a reminder that the result may not be an exact equality.

Everyday guidance

Check official, medical, safety-critical, legal or product-specific information where accuracy matters. Tyre-pressure conversions do not recommend a pressure for a particular vehicle, and cooking guides cannot account for every appliance.
