### 4/5 — Nice app

*2014-01-30*

Well designed, easy to use currency conversions

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2012-09-26, version 1.0.1*

Since the currency update, this app became much more useful. 

Really nice way to see the value of my money. Well done!

### 5/5 — This app is awesome!

*2012-09-26*

I'm going to be studying abroad in Italy in the spring, and when I came across this app, it was a must have. It's awesome being able to accurately track the value of the euro as it increases and decreases. This will definitely help me budget next semester. If you're hesitant on buying this, just go ahead and buy it. Totally worth it!

### 5/5 — With update, this is perfect!

*2012-09-25*

Offline support is a must-have when traveling. Added missing currencies like Korean Won.

### 5/5 — Promising App, Clever Idea

*2012-09-25, version 1.0.1*

Denominations Is a Promising App that is a very Clever Idea

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2012-09-25, version 1.0.1*

A very well executed app, and the latest update adds many more currencies, including many southeast Asian nations.

### 5/5 — Great for travel

*2012-09-25, version 1.0.1*

Clever little app - ideal for "eyeballing" prices and cash when travelling (rather than doing exact conversions for an online purchase). Colour cues are smart.

### 5/5 — Sharp little app

*2012-09-25, version 1.0.1*

Nice little app. As they say, it does what it says on the tin.

### 5/5 — Great idea !

*2012-09-04*

It needs more currencies but the developer said they would come ...

I'm going to India in a few months ,and of course due to roaming fees , I'll only update if/when I get WiFi , so I have set a reminder to enter Rupees before I leave home . The conversion will not be 100% exact but I will have a fairly good idea of what it is ;-))

I have tested and the app stays on the last page opened even if closed and reopened without WiFi or 3G .

Exactly what I needed !!!

### 4/5 — Decent idea, well executed

*2012-09-04, version 1.0*

Does exactly what it says; a larger list of currencies would be useful but perfect for me.

### 5/5 — Simple, Elegant, Brilliant

*2012-09-04, version 1.0*

First up - this doesn't do maths - if you want that go with the (free) XE app. This app is all about helping you wrap you head around converting currencies in a foreign land - and at that it does a brilliant job. By keeping the list of *denominations* (get it?) fixed in your home country (or, with a simple button press, your destination country, which works better for me) you LEARN to think in the country you're in's currency. It's brilliant. It's also beautiful and minimal - and everywhere you THINK there should be a button - there is.

Finally - ignore if you can the 1-star complainers. The app description clearly states that there are (currently) a limited set of supported currencies, all listed on the dev's site FAQ. (Yen and AUD are there so I'm set) and the dev is ACTIVELY supporting the app via Twitter - it a currency you want isn't here don't low rate, silly - just ASK HIM/HER.

### 3/5 — Needs more currencies to be really useful

*2012-09-03*

Nice simple clean UI. But the App really needs a better list of currencies to be truly useful. E.g. no South American countries are supported.

Unless the developer plans to increase the currency support I will be left thinking that I wasted $1.99

### 5/5 — Solid app.  Great implementation.

*2012-09-03*

I'm heading to Israel in a few days and this suits me to a 'T'. The interface is simple, which is exactly what I want 90% of the time.  Great app.  Hoping for more currencies, but they say it's coming. Great job!

### 1/5 — Constantly crashing

*2014-01-29, version 1.0.1*

Fix it!

### 1/5 — DOA

*2014-01-23, version 1.0.1*

sadly, such promise

### 1/5 — Nice UI, not enough currencies...

*2012-09-05, version 1.0*

Bought this app on advice of 9 to 5 Mac. No Russian, Ukraine or French Franc currencies & no way to add them. No offline mode. Avoid this app.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2012-09-03, version 1.0*

I bought this to help me in vietnam and not be ripped off hopefully. Turns out it has a very limited amount of currencies it can actually display. This app is only useful to those looking at big time countries. If its a small place you have in mind like fiji or rio, then forget this app.

### 2/5 — Falls short

*2012-09-04, version 1.0*

Needs support for more currencies. Offline data is also a necessity. Once that is in place it will be a good choice.

### 2/5 — No offline support

*2012-09-03*

Nice app, but no offline support.  If you are out of the country not knowing how much your bill just cost, the last thing you want to do is pay the *outrageous* data roaming fees to find out..

### 2/5 — Limited currency choice kills this app

*2012-09-03, version 1.0*

I know it's in the description. But seriously. Such a limited choice of currencies it's of no use.

### 3/5 — Nice, but still waiting for more currencies.

*2013-06-02*

Great job designing the app, but it's useless unless it has the currencies I need. Last update was September 2012 with a promise of more. I'd like to see the update sooner than later and then I can give it a 5 star rating. I'd also like to see a calculator added so I can know exactly what to pay, but I didn't take any stars off for that since the description in the store is accurate.

### 3/5 — Heading the path of abandonware

*2013-02-26*

There are numerous applications in the App Store that used to be 5-stars, but not anymore. Denominations seems to be one of those. While beautifully made and intuitive, it doesn't keep the initial promise of adding more currencies along the way. The last update happened in October, no new currencies (including the one I've asked for and has been promised that it will  be added) were added since then. The app seem to follow the hit-and-run model that is, regretfully, becoming more popular in App Store these days.

### 3/5 — Not there yet

*2012-09-08*

Should have checked available currencies. Not useful yet but will be once you can: Download a full range of currencies; Have the download date clearly visible within the program; Works offline.

### 5/5 — Best converter for real life!

*2019-02-13*

I just wish it supported more currencies - I am traveling in South America and I’m not getting much use out of this time. Too Eurocentric. But I love this app!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! Denominations currently supports BRL and ARS.

Please email support@denominationsapp.com with the names of other South American currencies you use frequently.

### 5/5 — So easy

*2018-01-26*

Great app , very simple no thinking and best of all no typing !!! So easy for the world travelers in all of us !

### 5/5 — Love this app. Thanks so much for updating to 64 bit

*2017-09-16*

This is a must have for traveling. I was worried it was going to stop working. So glad it's back!

### 5/5 — Great update

*2017-07-30*

Another great update to the most intuitive currency converter app on the market.

### 5/5 — More currencies would be nice

*2013-01-04, version 1.0.1*

Not complaining as I knew what currencies were supported when I brought the app but it would be great to have Vietnam supported. A simple calculator would be great to but that is probably put of scope of this app.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2012-11-19*

This replaces all the little pieces of paper I used to carry around. Very well done!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-09-29*

Elegant currency converter that does exactly what it says on the box. (And nothing else.)

### 5/5 — Simple, clean, useful.

*2012-09-27*

It does what it is supposed to. No complaints.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2012-09-26, version 1.0.1*

I'm currently traveling in Tokyo, next week Hong Kong. First time I don't have to do mental arithmetic every time I buy a coffee or a sandwich. Yay.

### 5/5 — Nice UI

*2012-09-26*

Accomplishes the task quickly n efficiently.
