ZimRate Calculator

Check a rate in a second, or work one out properly. Zimrate does both.

AT A GLANCE
Open the app and you land on your rates as floating bubbles — each one sized
against the others, showing the country, the flag and the current rate. When a
rate moves, the bubble changes colour and shows an arrow, so you can see what
has shifted without reading a single number. Tap any bubble to open it in the
calculator.

CONVERT ANYTHING
Type an amount against any currency and every other rate updates around it. A
built-in calculator sits in each field for when the sum is not a round number.

RATES YOU CAN CHECK
Rates are gathered from multiple published sources rather than a single one, and
you choose how they are combined — the median by default, or the mean, highest,
lowest or most common. Every rate links back to the source it came from, so you
can see where a number originated.

Covers the currencies people here actually deal in, including:
• USD — United States Dollar
• ZWG — Zimbabwe Gold
• ZAR — South African Rand
• BWP — Botswana Pula
• ZMW — Zambian Kwacha
• GBP, EUR, CNY, JPY, AUD, NZD, NGN, TZS and more

YOUR OWN RATES
Got a rate the app does not carry, or one you were quoted directly? Add it
yourself with your own name and value. It behaves like any other rate — you can
favourite it, use it in calculations, and send it to your widgets and watch. You
can also override any rate by hand when you want to work from a figure you have
been given rather than a published one.

MAKE IT YOURS
Favourite the currencies you follow so they lead the list and fill your glance
screen. Hide the ones you never use, and drag the rest into whatever order suits
you. Full dark mode support.

ON YOUR WATCH
A Wear OS app, a tile you can swipe to from the watch face, and complications you
can place directly on it. Your favourites sync across from the phone
automatically, with the same movement arrows.

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Two widgets — one for a single currency, one for several at once — both following
your system's light or dark theme.

WORKS OFFLINE
Rates are stored on your device, so the last set you fetched stays readable with
no signal. The app can also refresh quietly in the background on a schedule you
set, or you can turn that off entirely.

ELEVEN LANGUAGES
English, Shona, Ndebele, Afrikaans, Swahili, Arabic, Chinese, French, German,
Portuguese and Spanish. On Android 13 and later you can set the app's language
on its own, without changing your whole phone.

A NOTE ON REFRESHING
Fetching fresh rates uses coins. You earn these free inside the app, including
just for opening it each day, or you can top up if you would rather not wait.
Reading rates you have already fetched — including the glance screen, widgets and
your watch — never costs anything.
