Converter

Different measurement units developed around the world for the same dimensions, and these kept on going throughout the years. Conversion can take time and effort, unless you rely on some specialized applications. For instance, Converter is a little tool with which you can change values between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Perks of a portable app

First of all, it’s a good idea to check whether or not there’s Java Runtime Environment already installed on your computer to ensure functionality. Second, the program itself saves you a great deal of time and effort, because it doesn’t take you through a setup process to provide all features, thus enabling you to use it on the go.With little emphasis put on aesthetics, you spend little time getting acquainted with all it has to offer. There’s an input field where you manually need to write down the source value, and the result is displayed at the press of a button. It relies on a regular Java interface, which is pretty clean.

Leaves much to be desired

As mentioned, input is only manually done, with no option to open a file with multiple values. What’s more, the application is only capable of processing a one-way conversion, namely from Celsius to Fahrenheit, which has a considerable impact on overall practicality. Furthermore, you can’t even copy the provided result, but this is only a number and isn’t really difficult to manually write where needed.The application mostly comes in handy as a small part of a larger collection of converters or other applications for calculus and research. If it’s what you’re looking for, a neat trick is to assign a hotkey command to it’s shortcut so you can launch it regardless of your Explorer location.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Converter is heavily underprepared, even the core purpose is to convert temperature values. You can only convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, and so practicality has a lot to suffer.
