MileSplit Launches Mobile App: Conversion Calculator

Do you find yourself calculating what a time in the 1500 would convert to at 1600 meters? Have you ever been to a meet where the field events have been marked in meters and you shook your head confused? You don't have to worry about that anymore. MileSplit has taken it's great converter calculator resource and made into an application for your mobile device.


Description from the Android Market


Ideal tool for track & field coaches and athletes. Convert marks/times/pace.
 
This is a nice, easy tool for any fan, coach, or athlete of cross country running, road racing, or track & field. For field events it will help you translate feet/inches to meters (and vice versa). And for the runners it takes your time and lets you know what it is equivalent to in similar distances and also has some pace calculations built in as well.
 
MileSplit is a trusted name in the industry and this app was actually based on the conversion calculator tool on our web site that has been one of the most popular and linked to calculators on the internet.
 
We use factor-based conversions, rather than just standard number adders, which makes it more accurate over a wider range of distances and paces. Our conversions for distance events also take into account the fatigue factor.
 
It’s actually just kind of fun to play with also. The app is intuitive in that it guesses what you want. And also everything updates live meaning you can get the info faster, play around more, and don’t have to hit a button every time you want to convert.
 
Changing numbers is easy and flexible with no need for the keyboard. Just swipe up or down on any number, tap the top or bottom of a number to go up/down one, or touch and hold the top or bottom of the number to increment/decrement in larger jumps.
 
Running conversions can also be copied to the clipboard with just a click on the conversions table. And don't forget to scroll down the conversions table, there are often more available than initially visible in the view.
 
Hope you enjoy it and let us know what else you'd like to see.
