Great idea, shame about the execution. Who ever thought sweeping to enter an amount to change was a good idea should be sent away. Give us a good old keyboard to enter the amount. The costing essentials is also a good idea but only if you are using the provided currencies. You cannot change to the actual currency you are in, even if it is supported by the converter.

Potentially quite useful; BUT... Surely a conversion app which simply has to do basic multiplication and round the answer to two decimal places should be able to give accurate results every time! But no, not this one (or should that be one point zero six?). Quick and easy to use, if only it could be relied upon to tell the truth.

Wonderful idea with the quick scroll option for small sums but every time I try to get a conversion figure the result is different even though I have fixed the conversion rate. This makes the app totally useless at its job.

The swipe action on the quick exchange converter is unusable. Change it so we can just type the number rather than spending an age trying to get the correct number required.

After tapping and swiping I still can't convert a currency

Initially I thought this was brilliant - I really like the scrolling method of dialing in a price to convert. However, there's some funky aggregated calculations going on as if I select a price to convert (say €100), then dial away and dial back to that amount, the converted price is different (!!) Also needs with ability to type in number as for currencies with large rates scrolling takes ages just to increment a pound or two (try Chilean Pesos). This app could be so much better.
