The "Herb Converter" app that has slipped into iPhone land seems to be a tool made in stoner heaven. But tokers are being uncharacteristically kevetchy about it, Gawker notes. The app offers easy conversions from ounces to grams, and price calculations for ounce fractions. But the tokers want so much more, like price differentials for different kinds of dope and names of available marijuana. Some even expect the app to weigh their dope for them. Still, some find the new helper copasetic. "Being a flower child of the '60s I found it easy to use," enthuses one. Don't bogart that app.
