I have an app that I am adding 19 additional fully localized languages to - including playstore listing, etc. I am going to use this as a way to see if actual localization works in building a customer base. Do any of you localize and if so, how has it gone?
Anyone know what they use to test on? I have tried 12 devices and all have no issues.
Reckon is a unit converter I built for Android mainly because I moved to Japan and was struggling with a lot of conversions. I got carried away and now it covers 33+ categories - Length, Weight, Volume, Temperature, Time, Cooking, Data, Speed, Area, Pressure, and more are free with no account required. Engineering, Scientific, and Currency categories unlock with a one-time $2.99 Pro purchase.
I build with no ads, no subscriptions and no accounts required. All conversions run locally nothing is sent anywhere.
A few things I focused on getting right:
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kurokistudio.reckon
Goal: Showcase & Launch
Thanks for looking! Happy to answer questions about what's in scope for the next version. :)
Okay. I am not an alcoholic yet. Lol. That said, aside from One Cup Ozeki, what is the best sake out there that doesn't burn like forest fire?
I built this because every unit converter I tried either needed an account, ran ads, or phoned home constantly. Reckon does none of that. Everything works offline by default. The only time it ever hits the network is the live currency category, and only when you manually trigger a refresh or enable it for the first time.
​
New launch, actively updating, and feedback is genuinely what I'm after here.
​
**Free:**
Length, Weight, Volume, Temperature, Time, Cooking, Energy Cost, and Date Tools (age from DOB, days between dates, date offset). No catch, no upsell nag.
​
**Pro - $2.99 one-time (no subscription):**
26+ additional categories including Area, Speed, Pressure, Fuel Economy, Data Storage, Torque, Sound, Radiation, and Clothing/Shoe Size (US/UK/EU/JP). Live Currency with a three-provider failover chain. Conversion history (last 50), up to 20 favorites, and an optional scientific keypad (sin, cos, tan, log, ln, √, π, full expressions).
​
Also supports Japanese traditional units (shaku, tsubo, kan, monme, etc.) built in throughout. I live in Japan and every converter I found either skipped these entirely or bolted them on as an afterthought.

Reviews are genuinely appreciated, and I'll keep iterating based on what you find. Happy to answer anything about what's under the hood.

We also support Japanese traditional units (shaku, tsubo, kan, monme, etc.) that are built in throughout if that's relevant to anyone here - I live there, so this was also a feature I needed that others skip...
I would LOVE any feedback from anyone that uses it, reviews are appreciated, and we will keep updating as you feel kind enough to use it.
