Hi there.
I'm looking for a nice tool (app) to convert imperial units to metric and vice versa.
I really hope it also includes converting between Fahrenheit and Celsius and Celsius to Fahrenheit.
Imperial units, lbs, feet, inches etc makes no sense to me and temperatures in Fahrenheit makes me go mad :-)
Hahahaha!
Such an app would be very handy while communicating with people that don't understand the metric system.
The app needs to be VoiceOver friendly of course.

SIRI
Ok, SIRI seems to do the job quite well.
However, I hate to talk to my phone and not appropriate everywhere.
Again SIRI
Units conversion, simple math, and calendar math are three things I consistently turn to SIRI for, and SIRI is consistently excellent in all three areas. I agree talking to SIRI isn't ideal in all situations. You can always turn on type to SIRI, but then you really want a Bluetooth keyboard, unless you can use that onscreen thing.
A Google search can work
I never thought of an app for that... I know several conversion ratios, and use them all the time--with a calculator for speed and accuracy. From time to time, I use a Google search for an odd conversion. The Fahrenheit conversion, though , is a little complicated, and I usually Google convert that.
I have the issue from the other direction to some degree. US measurements have a natural feel to me. Like I have a feel for how long a mile is, but not so much a kilometer, and by extension, distance per second. When it gets down to smaller measurements, like centimeters and inches, I've used both all my life, and I have a feel for that. There I go writing too much, again.
Unit converter.
Here is the one I have used for years. It is accessible and converts many units and they can be added, arranged and removed as required.
