## Review summary

Users consistently praise the app as useful, accurate, and easy to use for calculating weights across many metals and materials, making it a trusted tool for engineering tasks.

- Accurate results.
- Easy to use and user-friendly.
- Trusted and long-used tool for weight calculations.

### Cons

- Intrusive or excessive ads disrupt usability.
- Requests for transparency: lack of published weight calculation formulas or standards; users want formulas/standards shown.
