What the app does

How to check a price abroad in three steps

  1. Pick your two currencies

    For example, the local currency and the one you think in at home.

  2. Scan or type the price

    Tap the camera and point it at the price tag, or type the amount on the keypad.

  3. Read the converted amount

    The result uses today’s rate, or your own rate if you set one for a more exact answer.

Who it is for

The app is built for people on a one- or two-week trip who pay in a foreign currency several times a day: menus, taxis, markets and shop tags. It also helps when you check prices or receipts after the trip, or shop online in another currency.

Frequently asked questions

Is Currency Converter & Scanner free?

Yes, it is free to download and includes free conversions and a few free camera scans. An optional in-app upgrade unlocks unlimited scanning and conversions.

Does the app work offline?

Partly. The app keeps the most recent exchange rate it loaded and any custom rate you set, so you can keep converting without a connection. Fresh rates need the internet.

How does the camera price scanner work?

Point the camera at a price. The app recognizes the number on your iPhone using Apple’s Vision text recognition and converts it into your chosen currency. It does not save the photos.

Where do the exchange rates come from?

Rates come from ExchangeRate-API. Our server checks for new rates four times a day and the app downloads them when it is online. You can override any rate with your own.

Can I use the rate my bank or exchange booth gives me?

Yes. Set a custom exchange rate and the converter and scanner use it instead of the market rate, which shows what you will really pay.

Is there a home screen widget?

Yes. Widgets show your 3 or 6 most used currencies converted into your primary currency. Before your first conversion they show popular currencies against the US dollar.
