Currency Converter 1.6.0.0
Easy to use and with plenty of monetary systems in store, this app can serve as a reliable tool for transforming any amount of money into a different currency, even without beingconstantly connected to the Internet.
Nice and simple layout for quick operation
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 two taps you will be ready to perform any transformation.
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 will follow you in every section of the app, as they seem stuck to the lower side of the screen.
Choose currencies, swap them and us the converter offline
The conversions this app carries out are done without any delay, so it takes only a few moments to view how much of your money are worth the currencies from different countries. The exchange rates are refreshed hourly, so the application is able to keep you up to date with all the values you are interested in.
Inside this utility you will find a button that makes reverting the direction of the conversion a very simple, one tap job. It is the fast "Switch" function that is neatly placed right in-between the two currency fields, so it is very easy to spot and use.
A nice feature of Currency Converter is the ability to function in offline mode as well, saving you some battery power, so if you tap the menu hosted in the lower part of the screen, this option will appear. Reactivating the online mode is done in an identical manner.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
This app looks well and offers a seamless experience, the only letdown from the visual perspective is the presence of the annoying ads. |
Function9
The currency rate updates are frequent and it would be great if the app would show the evolution of these values or at least those from the previous day. |
Security5
It is rather unusual for a utility that has the functional profile of Currency Converter to require access to so many system areas, so it should be used with care. |
Battery9
The power consumption for this application is mostly low, as it only needs some extra battery juice when performing the currency rate updates. |
Price9
Currency Converter is a worthy app that anyone can benefit from, especially since it offers all its features without asking for a cent in return. |
Compatibility9
Since this tool is made to work with any device that runs Windows Phone 7.5 and higher, its reach is quite broad. |
