Built my first iOS App – A converter app for units/currency/time

TYZILLA · 5h ago

Hello everyone! I am new to iOS apps and wanted to try something fun as a side project and build an app that makes my life easier. I had recently moved from the US to a different country and found myself using Google all the time to convert measurements. Then i'd have another tab to convert USD to the currency of the country i'm in and then if I wanted to check what time it was back in the US, I'd have to open the Clock app. It was annoying switching between all of these so I decided to create my own with all of these features. There are already some apps similar to mine on the market but I couldn't get used to the UI on them.

Its not as impressive as most of the other apps on this site but I hope some of you will find it useful, especially when traveling!

Would love to hear some feedback!
