Currency Rates Converter

Currency Rates Converter is a simple and straightforward application you can use to convert between a wide range of worldwide currencies without using a web browser to look up this information online.

It updates the exchange rates with the latest readings and gives you the possibility to convert multiple currencies at the same time. However, it doesn't have a built-in calculator, so if you want to make some additions, subtractions, multiplications or divisions involving money, you have to resort to an external app (such as the Windows Calculator).

This is a Metro app that can be only installed on machines with Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. It has a touch-supported interface that's ideally used on tablets, so you can convert exchange rates even when you're on the move.

While an Internet connection is required to get updates with the newest exchange rates, Currency Rates Converter works even when you're offline. It remembers your settings on exit and uses the last known currency values to perform conversions when you don't have Internet access. This way, you can minimize roaming charges when traveling abroad and have to constantly convert money units.

The source currency is set to the US Dollar. Although you cannot change it, it's possible to select as many currencies as you want to convert money to. They are organized in alphabetical order by country, and their tiles show info with the country name, flag, and currency acronym.

If you click on a currency, you can view trends in a graph. You can copy information to the clipboard, pin a currency to your Start Screen or Menu to always keep it in your sight, as well as take a screenshot and share the image using an external app.

It's unclear what source is used by Currency Rates Converter to retrieve currency rates from, but it was accurate in our tests. Thanks to its intuitive interface and practical options, this app can be handled with ease by anyone looking for a reliable currency converter.
