RateSea turns every price tag, menu and shop window into a number you actually understand. Point your camera at an amount and watch it convert in real time, or type a figure and read it back in the currency you think in. For travelers, online shoppers, freelancers billing abroad and anyone who keeps a second currency in their head. WHAT RATESEA DOES Scan prices with your camera (Pro) Pull the screen down from the top, or shake your phone, and a camera slides out of the Dynamic Island or the notch. Aim it at a price tag, a menu or a receipt and the converted amount appears underneath, live, while you move. Pinch to zoom in on small print. It reads the number the way the local shop wrote it, so 1.299,90 and 1,299.90 are both understood correctly. Convert instantly Two currencies, two flags, one number. Tap a flag to change either side. The result updates as you type, with optional haptic feedback. 156 currencies, refreshed through the day Reference exchange rates with a clear timestamp, so you know how fresh they are. Atlas: the world's money on a globe (Pro) Spin an interactive globe and tap any country to drop its currency into the converter. Both amounts on the Atlas card are editable, so you can work in either direction. Or just search by country name or currency code. Favorites you can reach in a second Swipe right on any rate to favorite it. Press and hold an empty area of the main screen to see your amount in every favorite currency at once. On devices without a notch, your favorites scroll across the top like a ticker. Made to feel at home on iPhone The interface is drawn to match your exact device: the real corner radius of your screen, the real size of your notch or Dynamic Island. Optional Liquid Glass appearance. Light and dark. Available in 52 languages, including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
