Monopoly money next?
For some reason, the developers have decided to clutter this app with worthless crypto tokens as if it’s real money. Stick to legitimate currency please.
Easy to use
This is an easy app to use. I selected the county I need the conversion info… simple and efficient.
I’ve been using this app for a few years now.
Thank you for creating this app!

Stale, outdated app
Shocking that OANDA would put out an inferior product like this. Obviously, low priority for them.
The app should be revamped for iOS 14
GBP shouldn’t be spelled as United Kingdom Pound. Very difficult to look up
OK
It seems to work fine, but it’s not what I need. I want to compare the price while travelling (which includes the local VAT) with the price in my home currency (which typically does not).
For example, a shirt in Melbourne is priced at $100 AUD including the 10% Australian VAT. This is equivalent to $90.53 CAD at today’s rate. Since sales tax is generally not included in the posted price in Canada, someone from Toronto would have to divide this by 1.13 to get the price without 13% HST. Thus, a shirt priced at $100 AUD in Melbourne would be equivalent to a shirt priced at $80.12 CAD in Toronto.
Things get even more complicated when it comes to food. Depending on where you are, sales tax and tips may be applied to meals. To use the example above, a $100 AUD meal in Melbourne would cost $90.53 CAD in Toronto. Assuming a 20% tip applied post-tax, this gives a cost of $75.44 CAD including HST. Dividing again by 1.13, we see that a $100 AUD meal in Melbourne would have a “menu price” of $66.76 CAD in Toronto.
In summary, using today’s values, $10 AUD is worth $9 CAD at the bank, but something priced at $10 AUD is really more like $8 CAD in a shop or $6.70 in a restaurant.
This is the kind of math I’m actually trying to do in my head when comparing prices overseas. It shouldn’t be that hard to implement a conversion system. Just have boxes where you can enter the default sales tax and tipping rates for your home country to allow a proper comparison.

Please add historical dates and more decimals
This app is missing historical dates (to look up prior dates’ currency) and only shows 2 decimal points when it should show 4. This app is worthless to me without these items so will need to stick with oanda’s website for conversions. As so many financial institutions use oanda and utilize both of these items, I’m very surprised the app lacks.
Other than that, perfect for easy same day basic conversions if that is all you need.

No longer show current rates. Useless now.
Can’t get help
Can anyone tell me how to remove a currency from the “favorites list”?
It’s easy to add one but I don’t see how to remove it. Thanks

Peso much?
Converter says peso is 19:1 when it’s currently 24:1. Not real helpful.
Broken !
H’mmm, recent days the app is showing £ to € as 1.16 when the market is around 1.05 not sure what is wrong apart from the obvious!
