Ecb Currency Converter 1.3.0.0
Relying exclusively on the rates provided by the European Central Bank, this application covers a number of currencies and offers not only a blazing fast conversion engine, but also some neat charts for each currency so you can view its evolution over several months.
Smooth GUI, with a well-thought structure
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 nice looking front-end, with a cool background and some crisp graphics for the flags representing the numerous currencies included in its database.
Going through the various sections of the utility or browsing the list of currencies to pick the ones to be added to the main screen is seamless, without any lags or faults. The data is displayed in a clear manner, very easy to read, no matter the module you are visiting.
The animated banners that flash all sorts of advertisements inside the main screen of ECB Currency Converter are a source of discontent, as they might catch the eye and steal the focus from the job at hand.
Choose the currencies to preform instant conversions
This utility works in a really simple manner, enabling you to pick only the symbols you are interested in using for a conversion. The list of supported currencies is not too impressing, as it has a bit over 30 items in store.
As soon as you decide which are the currencies you will use, inside the main screen you can see them listed and waiting for you to input the desired amount for any of them to have it converted automatically into the other currencies.
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.
View historical rates for supported currencies
ECB Currency Converter is able to provide the evolution of the exchange rates in a graphical form, so you can analyze the fluctuations over the last months for every currency listed inside the utility.
Using the common zoom and pan touch gestures you can move inside the graphs and by pressing for a couple of seconds on the thin line you can reveal the sales distribution amount for the respective day.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
This utility looks well and offers a very pleasant experience, despite the ad banners, so it scores very well from the visual perspective. |
Function7
There are just too few currencies included in this app's database and this makes it lose a lot, even if has a neat extra option to view historical rates. |
Security6
It is rather unusual for a tool that has the functional profile of ECB Currency Converter to require access to so many system areas, so it should be used with care. |
Battery6
Due to the updates of the currency rates, the application consumes quite a lot of energy, so the battery usage is high most of the time. |
Price9
Free of costs, but not of annoyances, this tool provides a good means of performing currency conversions on the spot. |
Compatibility10
Since this tool is made to work with any device that runs Windows Phone 7.5 and higher, its reach is quite broad. |
