Ratings and reviews

Just started using, but exactly what was needed. Simple, quick, able to set favorites. Works offline.

Excellent open source app which doesn't track you and is ad-free.

Excellent basic app for currency conversion while travelling. Does what it needs to without trying to sell you forex products or unnecessary pro features. Also the only currency converter I found that seems to actually use current Material UI design rather than some ancient outdated interface.

What’s new

- The main display now shows the current conversion rate in the bottom right corner.
- Fix an issue where currency symbols were wrong, when using data from Norges Bank.
- New supported language: Danish 🇩🇰
- Various improved translations. Thanks to all volunteers!
- Various little improvements to keep the app reliable.
