Something wrong with the server. No technical support. Subscription is worthless. Otherwise I like how the app functions. But not worth paying for. ### 4/5 — Review *2023-09-23, version 4.3* I really enjoy this app! I am a chef and this helps me so much while at work and home! However, in the last few months the app won’t work correctly. I have to open and shut the app over and over again in order for it to work. ### 2/5 — Old exchange rates *2023-04-08, version 4.3* I’ve used this converter for many years, but it seems like it hasn’t been updated recently because I keep getting an error pop-up that says “converters rates are old and the server is undergoing maintenance or overloaded”. ### 4/5 — Really good *2021-02-22, version 4.3* Love it ### 3/5 — No longer works with recent iPad 14.3 iOS *2020-12-30, version 4.3* This is a great tool. Simple, straightforward and effective. Unfortunately it has quit working on my iPad since I updated to iOS 14.3. Still works on my new iPhone 12 with the same iOS though. ### 5/5 — This is the best one *2020-11-14, version 4.3* If you’re trying to decide between your options, this is the best one! Clean, no ads, easy to use. I have to convert inches and temperature to imperial standard many times a day - probably my most used app. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-07-28, version 4.3* Easy to use free app what more could u want ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-03-11, version 4.3* I ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Currency out of date *2025-12-17, version 4.3* The currency function won’t update to current rates ### 1/5 — No longer supported *2024-07-04, version 4.3* It’s seems I have been paying for the last few years for the Exchange Rate conversion within this App and there servers have been down for 566 days or more. Very disappointed with this! Before this I used the App frequently and found it great which is why I paid yearly for the exchange rate updates service ### 1/5 — Broken *2023-08-31, version 4.3* It was an excellent tool but now it is no longer updating to the latest currency configuration rates I would like it fixed ### 1/5 — No updates *2023-08-30, version 4.3* Has not updates exchange rate for 9 months ### 1/5 — CURRENCY CONVERSION doesn't work *2023-08-28, version 4.3* There is a purchase option for the currency conversion. If you buy it, you just get a message that the data is 2182 days old and that the server is busy (permanently). AVOID THE PAY OPTION. ### 1/5 — Sells subscription to broken service *2023-07-12, version 4.3* If you try to convert currencies it sells you an annual subscription to a service bayou then discover that the days on the service is 363 days old, and the support web page is broken too. ### 1/5 — Subscription currency converter no longer updating *2023-02-19, version 4.3* I’ve used this app for several years and have been paying annually for the currency converter. Recently the app no longer updates the exchange rates. It’s been 34 days without an update. ### 1/5 — Difficult to use *2023-01-14, version 4.3* Hard to get the numbers to change. The back arrow/delete doesn’t always delte the number when you want to do a new calculation ### 1/5 — App abandoned *2022-07-25, version 4.3* malfunctioning constantly, unusable ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-12-07, version 4.3* I have a paid subscription and now the app won’t open or work with the new Apple updates ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Converter *2026-02-06, version 4.3* The most excellent software ### 5/5 — Barry *2024-04-17, version 4.3* Simple and easy to use and always at hand. ### 5/5 — Great / Simple *2024-01-27, version 4.3* Clean , simple no nonsense. Just wish you could stay on one screen to scroll through conversion options while viewing results on the fly. For example: since there is so much space (read uncluttered- I like) it would be nice to spin through say Inch/Foot/Yard etc. while staying on results screen. If it had this it would be a perfect app. ### 5/5 — Converter *2023-12-02, version 4.3* One of the best converters I seen by far 😁 ### 5/5 — It works, all I ever need for conversion *2022-11-25, version 4.3* Functional, fast easy ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-07-25, version 4.3* I love this app I’ve been using it for years!! ### 5/5 — Where are my currency updates??? *2021-10-23, version 4.3* I love this converter — it’s easy to use, versatile — does it all, including currency conversion with daily updates, on a subscription basis, which is only fair. I bought this affordable subscription as it helps with my daily business, but for 23 days now there have been ZERO updates! Has Brent quit or dropped dead? Earth to Brent! Hello?!? Do you need something more from me? ### 5/5 — Indisputably Helpful *2021-09-26, version 4.3* I have relied on this app constantly as we adjust to our move from the US (Imperial system) to Canada (Metric system). ### 5/5 — How many cubic inches in 1/3 cup? *2021-02-26, version 4.3* There’s nothing you can’t ask it! ### 5/5 — Upgrade to ios 14.2 has broken this wonderful app, it fails to load on my xr. *2020-11-27, version 4.3* Ios 14.2 has broken this wonderful app on my xr. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
