Currency Exchange 1.0.0.0
Windows Phone users have at their disposal a wide variety of apps designed for such purposes, so the choice should be not too difficult.
Easy to use and with plenty of monetary systems in store, Currency Exchange is an app that can serve as a reliable tool for transforming any amount of money into a different currency, even without being constantly connected to the Internet.
Smooth looks and practical front-end
This application is made to bring you all the information you need in an easy to read fashion, as all the data is presented inside a simple front-end, with some crisp graphics for the flags representing the numerous currencies included in its database.
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 Exchange for the first time.
There is a constant hindrance that will follow you at all times when using this app and it comes from the advertisement banners that are shown in the lower part of the screen.
Slide to the desired currencies and convert the amounts on the fly
The app 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.
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.
More precisely, choosing the two currencies is done by swiping through the corresponding lists shown above and below the number input fields then tapping the ones you want to use.
By default, the application shows the USD as reference currency after closing and reopening the app, but if you keep it in the background, resuming it will display the last transformation you made.
A neat feature of this tool is the ability to show the exact date and time when the conversion was made and by pressing the "Refresh" button, the exchange rates will modify automatically and you will be able to use the latest data in your conversions. In case there is no Internet connectivity, Currency Exchange uses the last downloaded rates.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The app comes with a nice look to it, featuring some well designed graphics and a neatly organized layout, but is plagued by adverts. |
Function8
There are plenty of currencies included in the database of this utility (over 160 entries), but no extra details like the evolution of the exchange rates are offered. |
Security9
Fairly safe to use, this application only needs to access the phone identity, but this without an evident connection to its actual functionality. |
Battery4
Currency Exchange will take up a lot of power, so the battery usage remains at very high levels all the time it is running. |
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. |
Compatibility9
Since this tool is made to work with any device that runs Windows Phone 8 and higher, its reach is quite broad. |
