User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's simplicity, useful widget, lack of ads, and fast performance for tracking currency rates. However, multiple reviewers report app crashes, especially when enabling notifications, and frequent issues with notifications or alarms not working or being silent. There are also usability issues with currency selection and missing important currencies. Users desire more customization options and improved alert functionality for a better experience.

Pros

Simple, clear, and user-friendly design with necessary information present
Includes a widget for quick currency rate checking without opening the app
No ads and minimal clutter enhancing user experience
Works fast and provides accurate currency rates generally
Good for tracking specific currency pairs over time with history graphs

Cons

Frequent crashes, especially when notifications are enabled or for certain currency pairs
Notification/alert system is unreliable or silent, alarms often do not work or are inaudible
Limited currency options; some important currencies like PKR or Ukrainian HRV are missing
User interface for selecting currencies is fiddly; lacks search or dropdown features
Lacking customization options such as adjustable decimal places and multiple alerts/widgets

Recent reviews

Crashes when notifications are enabled, and keeps crashing every time it's opened afterwards. The widget works before notifications are enabled, for manual checking of the rate.
