Currency 2.0.9.0

Get the latest currency rates and make any calculations or conversions on the spot
When traveling abroad there are a few things that most users will always look to have close at hand and a trusty currency converter will surely make the list. Windows Phone users have at their disposal a wide variety of apps designed for such purposes, so the choice should be not too difficult.

For anyone who wants to stay up to date with the latest exchange rates and also keep close a basic calculator, Currency is a Windows Phone utility that may be of interest, especially since it packs a neat extra feature, most useful for those who visit foreign countries.

Well designed front-end, with a clean look

As soon as you open it, the application greets you with a friendly interface that features some polished graphics and a neat organization of the content. The cool background and smooth visuals are consistent throughout the app, providing a pleasant experience every time.

The currencies are neatly ordered in the home screen, where the exchange rates are shown for the selected symbols. Going through the currency list when adding a new entry on the list or modifying an existing one is fluent and free of glitches.

Convert currencies and perform simple computations on the fly

The utility offers a fairly good assortment of currencies for you to work with and you will be able to easily put all those you are interested in right inside the main screen to have them at hand.

A bit unusual is the procedure of making the actual transformations, as it needs you to go to the "Calculator" module and type in the numbers then return to the home screen to check out the rates.

To modify the two currencies in the above mentioned module you have to make the selection from the personalized list and set the entries as "from" currency by tapping on each of them to reveal this option.

Travel chart for viewing the foreign currency equivalents for several fixed amounts

A neat feature of this application is the ability to display in a separate screen a table where many predetermined sums of money in the two currencies you selected previously are displayed. This way, if you need to pay, for example, the taxi fare, this chart will make things easier for you.
