it’s the web app. Probably should’ve checked and see if it was displayed in the iOS app or not.

when I switch in the web version the units to less metric, it does the conversion just fine. When setting it back to metric it again work just fine. What happens in your browser?

I haven’t messed with it. Probably was just a temporary glitch.
