This app is missing historical dates (to look up prior dates’ currency) and only shows 2 decimal points when it should show 4. This app is worthless to me without these items so will need to stick with oanda’s website for conversions. As so many financial institutions use oanda and utilize both of these items, I’m very surprised the app lacks. Other than that, perfect for easy same day basic conversions if that is all you need.
Works pretty well. Very simple easy to use app. However, it’s missing one big very easy to add feature. The app only shows conversions to two decimal places. For most currencies this is close enough. However, if you are using it to convert very expensive currencies such as bitcoin rounding off 0.00xxx could be a difference of $100+ and makes the app unusable. This would be a very minor tweak and would be greatly appreciated.
For some reason, the developers have decided to clutter this app with worthless crypto tokens as if it’s real money. Stick to legitimate currency please.
We review exchange rates on a quarterly basis so that our customers have a somewhat stable price. I love the simple interface and ease of use! My only wish is that you had the ability to change the date to see what it was historically, however, I can get that info from their website if/when I need it.
This is an easy app to use. I selected the county I need the conversion info… simple and efficient. I’ve been using this app for a few years now. Thank you for creating this app!
Simple to use, gives the ability to adjust rates between interbank rates, atm rates, and more. Easy to switch between currencies. Not sure what more anyone could want!
The Canadian dollar fell to less than 70 US cents. You are showing at as 75 US cents even on the following day. If it is not regularly updated it is useless unless you are looking for a historical document. I am not looking for history here.
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!
Been using this for years during travel to Europe. Now going to UK and realized this app does not include GBP (British Pound) as a currency you can convert to/from.
Perfect! (with one small addition/request/suggestion)
Easily navigates buy/sell, swapping of to/from, and multiple currencies. Nice simple, clean interface and up-to-date conversion rates. Thanks! I have one feature suggestion however: Most often I'm sitting at a restaurant with a check to pay and want the amount to be charged to my credit card after conversion/commission. By default you show the destination currency's 'buy' valuation on the home screen. I need to easily see the 'sell' figure. Would you add a 'Buy/Sell' button on the home screen (in addition to 'Swap') to choose whether to show the Buy or Sell sell value in the destination currency field? That'd be fantastic.
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.
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.
This app let's you choose a conversion rate depending on if you pay with cash or credit card. It lists all currencies but what I really like is that it saves up to six recently used currencies which is a great shortcut when you need to go back. Definitely one of the top apps for international travelers.
App is good - easy to use and free. I had no trouble funding the British Pound (another reviewer could not locate - perhaps there has been a software upgrade). Other reviewers mention inaccurate rates, but this software clearly shows the date and time the exchange rate was updated, and has a selection of interbank rates to choose from so I can set it to the same rank my bank uses.
The gold standard,global cash winner Yugoslavia (former) DINARA of 1960 onwards and then merged and in world circulation with the merged and adopted 1990 to 1996 bigger banknotes by Serbia,Slovenia ,Montegenero and Croatia is not updated to the current 2012 IMF 's exchange rate of USD $ 2.5 + taxes / per each 1 y dinar (YUN) or 1 YUN = USD $ 2.5 + Taxes, of the world famous Narodna banknotes with Belgrade ( Beograd ) markings money unit working and accepted capital money at par and face value without any redenomination (illegal) of the y dinara cash currencies bankbills ,an International debit banknote and credit cards for travel and leisure in more than 175 nations worldwide,gives the Oanda currency converter app very low feedback scores from its users.
It does show buy and sell points as well as automatically add percentages for transactions, but only shows two decimal places. It just isn't accurate enough for large transactions. Also only shows two currencies which isn't great for travelers or anyone who deals with more than one type of currency especially as changing currencies is quite a task with a cumbersome interface.
The ATM and Credit Card and other rates needs to be fixed where it shows only one option selling or buying on the first page. it should show the sells at price and buys at price on the first page for at least the top entry
I don't use this everyday but I haven't had any problems with crashes. I use it on an iPhone 4 and an iPad. Simple and straight forward, great app! Oh, and it does have the GBP. So, to the person that said it didn't and gave it one star, please update or delete your review!
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!
I love this app. Easy to use and current to the market. I just wish they'd add a "switch" button that would allow the two currencies around in case you want to toggle the two around to see the baseline change.
I use this app on a daily basis...and so I figured I would give it some love. It is easy to use and works without an Internet connection. The only thing that would make it more useful would be if you could choose the date of ROE or perhaps the provider (AMEX, FT etc...)
Great for traveling. Simple to use and fast. Does not require an Internet connection. Just make sure you get the latest rates before you travel overseas.
My husband and I have the same version iPhone and use the same updated version of this app, yet we often get different conversion rates on the same currency. I still use the app regularly for a ballpark conversion, but I do question it's accuracy.
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!
This would be a useful app if it ever worked. I tried using it before a vacation and could never get it to open. It would always just say "loading rates" and then close. I tried deleting it and re-downloading and same problems. I finally downloaded a different currency exchange app for our trip which worked great both here and abroad. Save your time and don't download
I travel a lot and I've tried most currency conversion apps out there. This one is definitely one of the best. It's very convenient to access fast to the latest currencies used.
Good app, I like it but should update to be just as the website itself and provide low average and high exchange rate for the month 60 and 90 day. It would make this app just perfect.
Great - Quick rate calculator. The web site states that you can add your own rate however the pull down menu only displays 0% - 5% with no allowance for commissions. Can you consider adding for IPad / Iphone on future releases.
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 ;)
Convert exchange rates for over 180 currencies and 4 metals. Type conversion amounts using a custom big-button keypad.

They are daily filtered rates based on information supplied by leading market data contributors.

SEE BUY AND SELL RATE DETAILS See conversion rates immediately, or ask for details where you can see buy and sell rates for both currencies. When you convert currency, you sell one currency to buy another. Your financial institution charges you a different rate if you are selling a currency (the bid rate) or buying a currency (the ask rate).
