Week dedicated to simple and useful applications daily use, or rather precisely this application we think can be useful even during a voyage! Yes why Species it is a simple, free application, Open source, free to quickly calculate the exchange rate of any currency.
We liked the application and decided to make a small dedicated article about it, also because it practically does not require any permission other than that of the internet connection. Among other things, this last permission is not even mandatory and only serves to update the quotes in real time from the site Float Rates.
Especially, I also exchange currencies offline
For a holiday abroad, for example, if you think you won't be able to use the internet connection, it may be useful to download the assessments of the various exchange rates in advance and rely on them to have an idea, albeit imperfect, of the currency exchange rate.
Use Species therefore it can be a good alternative on some occasions to real-time control on some sites. There aren't many settings, but the application has a developer who follows it quite well and generally bugs are fixed. You can allow automatic currency updates only via Wi-Fi or only via roaming. Manual updating is obviously also possible by simply pressing the "update" button.
There is also a handy widget to keep an eye on the value of a particular currency. Other settings are mainly aesthetic such as using the dark theme, or are niche such as the ability to enter multiple decimal places (from one to five).
The application is present exclusively on Android and can only be found on F-Droid (or via GitHub releases).
