Unit Converter Android App
The unit converter app has a simple UI, that is designed for you. This app has the following
features:
- Has most important conversion tools that are used in daily life including length, weight
and temperature.
- Has different units, which let you convert metre into centimetre & foot & inch,
kilogram into gram & ounce & pound, and Celsius to Fahrenheit & Kelvin.
Here are the screenshots of the app that need to be designed based on that.
