Euro Converter

Just like cultures, currency heavily varies all around the world. Exchange rates constantly get updated according to stock markets, and you might need to know the value of a specific currency based on your own. In this regard, Euro Converter wants to help you out with emphasis on European countries and currencies.

Advantages of a portable app

First of all, the application is good to go as soon as download is done, because there’s no setup involved to take any of your time or effort. As such, you can carry it around on a thumb drive in case you use different computers and you need to be updated with exchange rates. Moreover, registry entries remain intact during the operation, so stability is not affected.
The application’s core set of features is wrapped around a classic window frame, but fitted with different custom visual elements to make it stand out from the crowd. However, its particular design does more harm than actually help you instantly obtain results, taking you through different steps before actually performing conversion.

Leaves much to be desired

There’s a main menu which lets you select the desired operation. This can mean currency to Euro, Euro to currency, or different types of currencies. Each option takes you to a dedicated menu, and there’s a dedicated menu which lets you easily switch between operations.
A different layout is put at your disposal, depending on the operation type. Drop-down menus help you select currencies of interest, while value is manually written down. Unfortunately, the application comes with a rather poor range of currencies, not even able to cover all European countries, or connect to the Internet to check exchange rates and update units.

To end with

In conclusion, Euro Converter is heavily underprepared to handle even this simple currency conversion task. It tries to impress through a custom visual styles, but aesthetics are not the main feature here, and since the core function leaves much to be desired, you’re easily tempted to look for alternatives.
