One idiotic error.

The app works pretty well. I’m not seeing the things being complained about in other reviews. For whatever it’s worth, I have an iPhone 6+. However, years after my first complaint, the app still has one basic error in elementary-school science.

The US does not and never did use the Imperial System. The Imperial System was developed in 1824, long after the independence of the United States, and it is not the same as the US Customary System, which is what the US uses. Both systems are based on the old English units that evolved in the middle ages from the units of the Roman Empire, but many US and Imperial units have different values, some substantially different, and they aren’t even always related to each other in the same way. A US Liquid Pint, for example, has 16 US Fluid Ounces, but an Imperial Pint (the Imperial System doesn’t have two different pints depending on whether it’s strawberries or cream that you’re measuring) has 20 Imperial Fluid Ounces.

This is stuff that you should have been taught along with percentages, and should have learned over again the first time you looked at the “Handbook of Chemistry and Physics”. (And if you’re unacquainted with the latter, how can meteorology seriously claim to be a science?)
