Currency Converter 1.3.0.0
This need prompted developers to create many applications dedicated to such purposes and Windows Phone users can install onto their handsets utilities like Currency Converter.
Uncomplicated front-end, designed for ease of use
This app has a very simple and easy to work with interface, that focuses on practicality rather than visual appeal. Nonetheless, the images displayed inside the GUI are of a very good quality and the graphics are quite polished, even if they seem too somber.
Moving around the application and going through the long list of currencies is done without a single glitch or delay. The only visible nuisances are the continuously changing adverts that are shown in every area of the app.
Perform multiple conversions for currencies and precious metals at once
Currency Converter is able to provide the latest exchange rates for all the items it keeps in its impressive database and all you have to do is add the ones you are interested in to the home screen of the utility.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The plain looks of this application work against it and only the smooth navigation and the good looking images shown inside the main screen earn it all the points. The ads are quite bothersome and show up in ever corner. |
Function9
This utility comes with a very good assortment of currencies and other commodities to watch prices for. The smart search is also an important asset, as is the ability to show the conversion time and refresh the rates with one tap. |
Security7
Currency Converter seems to be a bit intrusive as it wants to peek inside the phone dialer and also requires access to the owner and phone identities. |
Battery8
The battery usage seems to be on the moderate side as the amount of power needed to fetch the latest currency rates is noticeable. |
Price9
Despite the pesky advertisement banners shown inside the app, the value of this tool is significant and most users will benefit from having it installed. |
Compatibility8
Designed to operate properly under Windows Phone 8 and above, the app only need s a standard screen resolution of 480 by 800 pixels to run well. |
