Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface of this utility is fairly plain, with a few graphical elements that are more appealing and a good organization of the content, but the ever-present ads steal the focus and make it lose some points here. |
Function9
There are plenty of currencies included in the database of this app (over 150 entries) and it offers a simple means of comparing prices, making conversions and analyzing historical charts with the evolution of the selected currencies. |
Security7
Access to some secure areas of the system is required, even if without any visible relation with the app's functionality. |
Battery6
Due to the frequent updates of the currency rates, the utility consumes quite a lot of energy, so the battery usage is high most of the time. |
Price9
The diversity of currencies it covers and the useful graphs make this application a valuable one, despite the bothersome ads it has inside. |
Compatibility9
Currency Exchanger is ready to run on most Windows Phone devices out there as it only needs version 7.5 or above of the OS to work. |
