More flexible input units (Android).

gigapus

As a newcomer to cronometer, I am struck most by the little things that make the app I use now easy to get along with (although it is not without issues, or I would not be looking at alternatives!). I already posted about fraction support, which is on the web interface, so I hope it makes to the app soon.

The other "biggie" is turning out to be the limited range in input units I am offered. For example, one item I was looking at last night had a serving size of 2 tsp/10g/10kcal. I could enter an arbitrary number of "servings", or g or oz, which is great, clearly in converts between mass units. But for volumetric measures I was stuck with tsp. Since the recipe I was using wanted 125ml, I had to mentally convert. OK, not the hardest thing in the world, but surely not hard for the app to figure out for me either! Since kcal/ml can be derived from the serving size, entering an arbitrary number of ml, tbsp, cups, etc., should also be as easy as having oz alongside g.

Please!

Hi gigapus,

I'll put it forward to the team this sounds like a great solution.

Cheers,
