Currency Converter Live 1.2.0.0
For anyone who wants to stay up to date with the latest exchange rates and perform quick conversions, a Windows Phone utility that may be of interest is Currency Converter Live.
Decent appearance and practical front-end
This utility offers a fairly nice GUI, with some smooth and carefully designed graphics inside. Most of the elements of the interface have all a nice look and you will be able to go through the list of supported currencies without any lags of glitches.
The animated banners that flash all sorts of advertisements inside the main screen of Currency Converter are a source of discontent, as they might catch the eye and steal the focus from the job at hand. These nuisances follow you in every section of the app, as they seem stuck to the lower side of the screen.
Select currencies and perform the conversions in no time
The utility offers a fairly good assortment of currencies for you to work with and you will be able to easily select those you are interested in working with.
Currency Converter Live is not the fastest tool when it comes to performing the actual transformation, as it takes a few moments to complete the job because it retrieves the live rates from the Web.
Inside this utility you will find a button that makes reverting the direction of the conversion a very simple, one tap job. This function is neatly placed right next to the "Convert" button, so it is very easy to spot and use.
Quick update of the exchange rates and default currency pair
The application allows you to select the preferred money exchange server from the "Settings" area where 3 choices are at your disposal. However, if you select "Google" as the main source, the conversions will not work due to an error, so you are basically stuck with the other two options.
A neat thing about this utility is the fact that you can define a default conversion pair and have it displayed automatically when launching Currency Converter Live.
Another addition you might find pretty useful is the "Rate Chart" module where you can view the value of a selected currency compared to each entry in the app's database.

Design / UI8
The interface of this utility is fairly plain, with some graphical elements that are more appealing and a good organization of the content, but also with lots of ads. |
Function7
Despite the decent feature set, there are just too few currencies included in this app's database and it doesn't perform the conversion as quickly as many similar tools. |

Access to some secure areas of the system is required, even if without any visible relation with the functionality of the application. |
Battery6
The power consumption for Currency Converter Live is well above moderate, with a high battery usage at all times. |
Price9
The app is worth trying and keeping, especially since it offers all its features without asking for a cent in return, despite the annoying ads. |
Compatibility10
Most Windows Phone devices are suited for users to install and try this application since it only needs version 7.5 or higher of the operating system to run properly. |
