Choose Your Currency

Choose Your Currency is a simple application which gives you the possibility to convert currencies in a user-friendly application, specially made for users who prefer straightforward tools with large buttons that are hard to miss.

It has a Metro interface, suitable for desktops, laptops and tablets running Windows 10, 8 and 8.1.

The tool is trusted by Microsoft, so it can be downloaded and installed from the Windows Store with little effort. You can run Choose Your Currency from your Start Screen or Menu.

Since the application has to obtain the newest currencies to provide you with accurate conversions, it needs a working Internet connection. It get linked to a web service that retrieves the exchange rates from the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank.

The main app window has a dark background and white text, making it ideal for working at night time. On the other hand, it doesn't have a light theme available.

To perform a conversion, all you have to do is specify the input and output currency, enter the amount, and click the Convert button. The result is almost instantly displayed below.

As far as currencies are concerned, the program offers support for the United States Dollar (USD), European Union Euro (EUR), Argentine Peso (ARS), Australian Dollar (AUD), Bangladeshi Taka (BDT), France Pacifique (XPF), Zimbabwe Dollar ZWL), and others.

Only the acronyms are listed in the selection menus, and the descriptions are revealed after picking a currency. Unfortunately, the app doesn't implement a button for swapping the input and output currencies, nor for copying or saving all displayed information to file.

However, thanks to the Windows built-in options, you can capture everything as an image and send it to another one of your installed Modern UI apps that supports these features.

All things considered, Choose Your Currency proves to be a fast and straightforward calculator for converting currencies. However, it cannot calculate in multiple currencies at once.
