Currency review

We review Currency, a converter app for the iPhone

Published on Oct 12, 2009

Holidays are exciting. The build up, the packing, the airport and the change of scenery all add to and enhance the experience.

But it’s always a bit of an anti climax to get the credit card statement through the post a few weeks after you’ve come back and your tan has faded.

It’s often hard to keep track of just how much you’re spending and how much of a bargain something is when you’re in a different country and the price tags are completely foreign to you.

Currency App app provides up-to-date exchange rates to help keep your spending in check.

It’s packed with data for more than 90 currencies and 100 countries, meaning unless you’re traveling somewhere really obscure, it’ll be of use.

Currency could be equally as useful to business people who have to travel a lot as part of their jobs – especially if they’re charged with keeping a close eye on their expenses.

Whether you’re a high flying business executive who finds it hard to know what country you’re in let alone the exchange rate or you’re on your annual family holiday in Spain, Currency will become a trusted part of your travel entourage.
