Basic easy to use straight-forward app to convert between Calories and Kilojoules. Very useful utility app to add to your mobile. I "freely use it" all the time as needed; there are adverts but its rare and usually non-intrusive. Great app that does what it says.

Been using this app for ages. The only one I've found that has both cal to kj and kj to cal. Then one day, bam! We're adding a paid subscription level, and we're making you wait before you can access the calculator so we can try and make you pay for the app. Get real. You are a very simple numerical conversion app. Nobody is spending money on your app. I uninstalled and I'm just using Google from now on.

I'm altering my review. I like the fact that it's ACTUALLY able to measure in kilojoules, unlike other apps that're so biased and use calories...........the only problem is that.........you need to pay to see the necessary amount of time needed to do certain exercises in order to lose your gained weight 😐

Hi Rukudzo, sorry to hear you felt mislead here. A lot of work goes into developing software and there's only so much we can offer for free while developers still make some income and provide for their families. We'll take this on board and try to market things in a way that makes it clearer that some functionality is paid. Thanks for the feedback.
