xCurrency Smart Currency Converter for Android

There hasn’t been any less in the amount of currency converter and calculator apps on the Google Play Store. All of their core functionality is to provide users with the ability to convert the currency over the air just at their fingertips. However, keeping functionality aside, the user interface is what makes these apps unique from each other, after all, in the end, the user experience is what matters the most. Speaking of user experience and interface, most if not all of the currency converters out there have pretty good user interfaces. But, what sets xCurrency apart, the app I would like to review today, is that it features Google’s Material design inspired user interface.

xCurrency features a minimal and simple to use user interface, fetches currency exchange data from Yahoo! Finance, provide its users with real-time exchange rate updates and more.
