User Reviews: Currency Converter

  • Love it

    Simple and quick to use. It needs to be both of these if you are standing in a line somewhere figuring out what items cost. I love that it saves my most frequently used currencies. Voila!
  • Won't work offline or in weak signal areas !!!

    If you're in an area without a perfect signal, like in a store where you actually need the app to work, it will open and search for a while then close. It needs to have either wifi or a data connection to open. Extremely annoying!! Now I use CURRENCY, from CURRENCY APP LLC with the green icon, that works perfectly even while it's looking for updates AND IT'S FREE too. It also fast and displays many currencies at the same time. Try it and you'll love it.
  • Accurate, but not convenient

    Price is right, but it would be helpful if the money amounts had commas for easier reading. A built in calculator could also make it much more convenient to use.
  • How often does it REALLY Update?

    Can't complain too much about any free app but I did find the very first time I used it there was a big error in dollar to euro. $1.20 according to Bloomburg / $1.30 Just Updated according to this app. If you have to have up to the minute accuracy it would appear that you need to look elsewhere. If not it is an easy to use app - especially for the price!
  • I mad3 $

    I went to Ireland bought tons of crap at cheap prices and sold them when I got back to America. I made $536!!!!! Haha my parents paid for the plain tickets ;)
  • Very good but could be better

    I think it is great but I wish you could like shake the iPod and it would update the currency worth so you don't have to exit out everytime. Just a suggestion though. Keep up the good work!
  • Simple, easy and a must have

    With this app you can travel without pain or worry about currency conversion.
  • Has buy and sell rates

    This is one of the few free currency apps that have both "buy" and "sell" rates (when you want to exchange from USD to another currency, and when you want to exchange back - the rates are slightly different).

    The downside is that you see only one foreign currency at a time, so if you are traveling through several countries, you have to update each time you reach a new country. There is a "recently used" screen but that requires additional steps and is limited to 5 currencies. It would be nice if they have 5-10 currencies all displayed on one screen at one time and ready to be called up for more details as needed.
  • Good FOREX tool

    Good FOREX tool, excellent user interface. Unfortunately the option to get a historic exchange rate (i.e. 17 days ago) - which is possible in the WEB version has not yet been implemented in the iPhone app.
