Currency Calculator 1.1.0.0
Windows Phone users have at their disposal a wide variety of apps that were designed for such purposes, so the decision should be not too difficult to take.
Currency Calculator aims to provide users with a really easy to use way of making the transition from one monetary system into another for any sum of money.
Uncomplicated GUI and efficient layout
The clean interface of this application provides quick access to all the functions from inside a friendly looking front-end that features some relatively common but well designed graphics.
The navigation inside the list of currencies is seamless, so with only a couple of taps you will be ready to perform any transformation and also check out the current exchange rates in the same time.
The converted values are displayed clearly, while the currency rates appear in a different and smaller font, so as to avoid interfering with the numbers for the converted amounts.
Instant currency calculations
Currency Calculator offers a very good assortment of currencies for you to work with and you will be able to easily choose those you are interested in using for your conversions.
A notable downside is that some obsolete currencies are still listed inside the app and you will not be able to carry out correct conversions for the monetary systems from the respective countries.
Apart form having so many currencies in store (around 150 entries), the utility includes commodities like gold or silver as well. Switching the conversion source and output currencies can be done by pressing the dedicated button from the main menu.
Save favorites and configure the app on the fly
A neat feature of this application is the ability to save currency pairs, so you can access the most often used conversions from the "Favorites" area. Any of these saved pairs can also be pinned to the Start screen, so you can open them directly, with a single tap.
Refreshing the exchange rates can be done manually, with one tap on the dedicated button or by activating the automatic update that can take place hourly or daily. You have the possibility to activate the update notifications and also pick the desired number of decimals that ranges from 2 to 4.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The appearance of this application is decent, but lacks visually appealing elements of design, so it loses some points here. |
Function8
With plenty of currencies in its database, Currency Calculator needs to refresh the list and remove the outdated ones. |

Fairly safe to use, this app only needs to access the music library without an evident connection to its actual functionality. |
Battery6
The power consumption for this utility is beyond normal values for such tools, with a very high battery usage at all times. |
Price10
Despite a few minor drawbacks, this tool is well deserving a try as it offers everything free of any costs. |
Compatibility10
Well prepared to function on a wide variety of handsets, Currency Calculator only needs a Windows Phone 7.5 or higher device. |
