Currency Converter 1.2.0.1
For those who appreciate good looks and originality for the apps they use, Ampah Johnson's Currency Converter utility could turn out to be a keeper.
Appealing interface with a nice layout
This utility offers a neatly designed GUI, with smooth and carefully designed graphics from end to end. The elements of the interface have all a neat look and you will be able to go through the list of supported currencies without any lags of glitches.
Another contributor to the pleasant feel of the application is the ease of use, which you will surely notice once you install and launch Currency Converter for the first time. A minor hindrance comes from the occasional prompt that appears out of the blue and asks you to rate and review the app.
Pick the currencies and use them in an original manner
One thing that is specific to this tool is the way in which you will have to make the currency selection to define the main monetary systems that appear on the main screen and also when choosing two of them to carry out the transformation.
The application uses country flags as main indicators for the currency and you can mark up to 9 of them to be displayed in the conversion area. Adding the elements of the currency calculation is done by dragging each of the two flags onto to their corresponding boxes.
Input the amount of money and reverse the conversion with one tap when needed
Even the keypad used for typing in the value to be processed by Currency Converter is nicely polished and using it is a breeze.
Nonetheless, there is a drawback to be noted here, as this app will not be able to perform the conversion as you type, like many other tools do, so you will have to press the "Conversion" button to get the results in a couple of instants.
Should you need to switch the places of the two currencies used for the operation, there is a button for this action and it resides right between the number input boxes in the upper part of the screen.

Bottom Line
Design / UI10
The cool appearance of this utility, with its fine graphics and easy to use layout of the functions and commands earn it all the points from the visual perspective. |
Function7
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. |
Security9
Currency Converter doesn't go anywhere near the sensitive areas of the system, but it needs access to the local multimedia libraries for some reason. |
Battery5
The application will take up a lot of power, so the battery usage remains at very high levels all the time it is running. |
Price8
For those who are content with having a really good looking GUI at the expense of a lesser number of currencies to work with, this tool is definitely worth a try. |
Compatibility9
Well prepared to function on a wide variety of handsets, Currency Converter only needs a Windows Phone 7.5 or higher device. |
