Black Box 1.5.0.1
Those who need to keep at hand all the exchange rates they are interested in, while also being able to make some calculations on the spot will surely appreciate a utility like Black Box.
Plain front-end, easy to work with
This application provides a very simple interface, which makes it a breeze to access the currency conversion and the calculator functions, thanks to a well thought-out layout. The graphics have nothing out of the ordinary, but they are fairly decent and easy to read.
When moving from one section of the app to another or going through the long list of currencies, the navigation is fluent and free of any flaws.
Instant conversions for over 100 currencies
Black Box is equipped to handle a lot of transformations for various monetary systems from all across the world. The diversity of items included in the database can even bring you some currencies that are long gone from use, as they have been replaced over the years. Some examples are the Deutsche Mark, French Franc and Italian Lira, to name just a few of them.
Once both member of a currency conversion pair have been established, you can input the value and see the result displayed as you type in the numbers. Switching the "To" and "From" currencies can be done with a single tap.
In order to deactivate the currencies you will not be using, simply visit the "Settings" area and deselect them from the list you can find in there.
Perform simple computations on the go
A neat extra feature of Black Box is the built-in calculator that will make it possible for you to carry out some basic calculations, as it features the usual addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations.
All the numbers you input are automatically converted as currencies, so this makes it even more useful as it is suited for instant financial calculations as well.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
There are no special elements of design that would make the interface appealing, but the graphics are still fairly well drawn and clear, while the smooth navigation also earns a few points here. |
Function9
A very solid database of currencies that are still in circulation or have been withdrawn recommends this app and the calculator component adds more value to the package. |
Security10
There are no secure areas of the system that this app needs to look into, so having it installed is fairly safe bet altogether. |
Battery9
This utility is very friendly with the system resources as it needs a small amount of power to function, so the battery usage remains at very low levels. |
Price10
The fact that it offers all its features freely and without the usual hassle of having to put up with adverts makes this app an excellent choice for nay user. |
Compatibility9
Most Windows Phone users out there can enjoy this tool onto their handsets as it only requires that version 7.5 or higher of the operating system is installed. |
