App Profile: Currency Converter ‧

This has been the best currency converter app I have used. The app is simple yet beautiful, and the conversion is quick. In the basic version of the app, you can select five currencies to show on the home screen at once. If you upgrade for $2.99, you can track unlimited currencies and use the calculator pad. All in all, a pleasant no-hassle experience.

This app was the way-to-go in currency converter. Shared it with friends and family, colleagues and people that needed a fast currency conversion. Last update changed a lot of things. Only one thing was good: See the rate of your local currency faster. The bad? • Trying to get conversions between currencies that are not your local needs a lot of steps (before was 2 taps) • Paywalls for everything that before was free: -Cannot have more than 5 favourite currencies unless paid (before $2,99; any currency) -Cannot add another “local” currency unless paid (Not an option before, not needed) Unfortunate to lose another excellent app to the usual “subscription” plan that a lot of awful apps use. One-time payment also is extremelly expensive. I understand you need to obtain profits, but even if $5 a year sounds cheap, you get almost nothing for that “pro” badge. Thanks for the last 6 years using this app.

Update: The developer replied and they will offer the previous look and feel as an option. Glad to hear this. I’ve upgraded my score to 4 stars and will make it 5 when the feature is actually released. I’ll be subbing for a month to see how it goes. Thanks for the response! This used to be one of my favourite looking apps. Now it has abandoned it’s original and minimal design for a generic one that makes it look just like every other currency app out there. They tore everything down, the pleasant colour scheme, the beautiful font and the unique UI. I would like to have the old look at least as an option. Would happily subscribe just for that. For now, I’ll be moving on to another app.
