### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 17 Pro iOS 26

*2026-01-22, version 2.01*

App doesn’t work, can’t select anything, stuck on main screen

### 1/5 — stopped working

*2023-04-30*

it annoys me, I have to look for something else

### 2/5 — Fabulous app.   But sadly,  inaccurate data .

*2021-10-02, version 2.01*

The app is fabulous: my favourite of all the currency converters I’ve tried, in terms of look & feel, simplicity and usability.

However it is rendered useless by exchange rates which, when updated, just don’t match those of everything else out there doing the same job (I’m using GBP, EUR and USD).

If/when this is fixed, happy to upgrade to 5*****

### 3/5 — Nice app but poor support for weak currencies

*2020-03-25, version 2.01*

The app and widget are nice but conversions for currencies like VND and IDR are incorrect because of rounding errors.

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2017-08-05, version 2.01*

The widget has completely frozen for the past few weeks so I uninstalled it

### 1/5 — Não atualiza mais.

*2017-07-04, version 2.01*

Parou de atualizar os dados. Não serve pra nada.

### 5/5 — Currency today

*2017-04-07, version 2.01*

I'm over sixty... just! And this app is so easy and quick to use. We're travelling in the Far East with three currencies to manage and it's made life so easy!

### 2/5 — Widget

*2017-03-24, version 2.01*

What happened to my favorites in the widget on iPhone? It's not showing!!

### 2/5 — Needs tweaking ....

*2017-02-21*

A good app graphically but it keeps reverting to the default currencies rather than the ones I select.  Please correct this.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great Elegant

*2016-08-09, version 2.0*

Great elegant app! I would really love to see a push notification feature when currency reaches or exceeds a certain amount / daily!
