1. XE Currency Converter and Exchange Rate Calculator
One of the most popular currency conversion apps out there is XE Currency Converter. Its updated design makes the app a lot more appealing, and it’s also possible to send cash, but you will need to register for that. In the Compare tab you can even compare your provider’s price to the mid-market rate.
By tapping on the bell at the top-right, you can get alerts if your preferred currency falls or goes over a certain amount. (You only need to create an account to use it.) Tap on the Charts tab, and see how well (or not) your currency has done even as far as the past ten years. If you want to share that info, just use the share button right above the charts (in the Share tab).

2. Easy Currency Converter
When you travel, one of the last things you want to deal with is roaming fees. Easy Currency Converter has an offline mode that will keep those fees at bay.

For example, you can have the app update every one, two, five, fifteen, or thirty minutes, or just once a day.
Get the latest currency news thanks to its feed, only have the app update over WiFi, and use the app in various languages such as English, Spanish, German, Italian, etc. You can also choose between a blue and silver theme to add your own personal touch. Save your most-used currencies in Favorites. That way they are easier to find the next time you need to use them.

All Currency Converter can be a time-saver. For example, let’s say that you’re adding up how much each friend owes you.

You can use the calculator with two currencies or four at the same time.
The app also comes with a useful tip calculator exchange rate. That way you’ll always know if you’re tipping too much or too little. Other valuable features include shake to clear, theme color, and you can also decide if you always want to know how much a dollar is in various currencies as a notification.

World Currency Exchange Rates may not have the best design, but thanks to the bigger text it’s easier to read. This app also has charts that can show how well a currency has done as far back as three years. By tapping on the flag, you can change the currency. The app is currently available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. Hopefully, more languages will follow soon.
