Easy, currently free, configurable

This (currently) free app has a simple calculator-style interface. The app's integrated settings allow you to turn off automatic updates of exchange rates, which is great if you want to cut down on your data usage while overseas. Key clicks are also configurable: this is a nice touch. Most apps use the system default (I have mine disabled); oddly, I liked this app more with clicks on than off. I wouldn't have paid $.99 to try this out, but having gotten it for free I'd gladly pay the $.99 now.

right approach

The creators asked for a review in exchange for getting this app for free. I already have the app "Currency" and the app "Units" - the latter is the $0.99 version. ACTCurrency is very straight forward. One selects two currencies (USD and Euro, for example). Entering 100 will give the value of 100 Euros in USD and 100 USD in Euros - just what I want while traveling. "Currency" translates one currency into a number of other currencies, which is interesting but less useful to me while traveling. The "Units" app can do the same task as ACTCurrency with essentially the same ease, as well as serve to do all sorts of other conversions. It has a "reverse" button to allow 100 Euros to USD to become 100 USD to Euros with a single button push. I like both apps but will only keep Units installed.

Why all the fuss?

This app works fine and does exactly what it claims to. Nice clean layout and it does support the GBP so I can't understand what all the fuss is about?
If the reviewers that gave this a negative rating can't even work their way through a simple menu to bring up their home currency then maybe they shouldn't be in charge of their own finances in the first place? lol
I grabbed this whilst its free and consider it to be a very useful application for when I'm on my travels.

Useful tool

I find this useful and easy to use. Two enhancement requests: 1. When starting fresh (not using prior number in isplay fir home currency) you should use 1.00 istead of 0.00. Why? 0 is useless... Don't need calculator to tell me how much 0 dollars is worth in another currency. If you start with 1, I can get into app, quickly see the exchange rate most important to me and then exit. You lose no features and nothing works differently than before (excluding for those users who could not multiply by zero :) 2. Would be nice to see one or two more currencies "main to secondary" on main display (using small font) SS

Very handy

I have had a very good experience with this converter. Simple and easy to use and the fact that conversions are performed both ways simultaneously is AWESOME. I think people have been unfairly harsh on this app with the reviews and star ratings. It is great and it is FREE. I think the people with complaints often don't have a good understanding of currency conversion in the first place. For example, someone said they couldn't find the British Pound. Did they happen to look at GBP which is clearly listed?!?!? Only issue I have had is sporadic updates of exchange rates. Sometimes does not go thru. While I would not use this program for major financial transactions, for a hand held, on the road, in a souvenir shop kind of converter, it does an outstanding job.

One of the best currency converters on iPhone/iPod to date

I've tried a few other converters available and this one beats them all for its (1) simplicity - no fuss design, huge buttons and numbers, (2) functionality - dual conversion, auto-update (you may not want to trust the exchange rate 100%), immediate response, and (3) price - free for now!! It would the perfect 5-star rating if it had more currencies and I would have given it a 3-star but it lets you customize currencies that are no included. Hopefully, there will be more currencies to come. So there you are, a 4-star Currency Exchange Applet.

This tool is very simple to use. Having just been to France I did not know the correct exchange rate unless looking on the Internet. I could enter Euros and get the correct British pound price of things without working it out on a calulator. Interface is basic but does the job.

Superb!

This is a great little app. Like the first review said, just make sure you go into setup then edit and enter your master currency, i.e. GBP if you are british, USD if you are american etc. After that simply select the currency you want to convert into.
