What it does
Display up-to-date exchange rates from one base currency into the currencies you care about. Choose the base, pick the currencies to list against it, and select a light or dark theme; new rates are published once a day and arrive on their own. It is a natural fit for hotel receptions, travel desks and offices that deal with other countries, where visitors want the day's rates at a glance.
Every app in the catalogue is part of the plan. There is no app store, no per-app charge and nothing held back for a higher tier.
How to show exchange rates on a TV screen
Pick a base currency and up to twelve others, and the screen shows what one unit of the base buys in each, updated every day. Handy at hotel receptions, travel agencies and offices that deal with other countries.

Good to know
New rates every day
Rates are published once a day. The app checks every hour, and the screen shows the date the rates are for.
Keeps its last rates offline
If the network drops, the screen keeps showing the last rates it received and catches up when the connection returns.
Long lists split in two
More than six rates are shown in two columns on a landscape screen. A portrait screen keeps one column.
Questions about this app
No. The app shows one daily rate per currency, not buy and sell prices. Treat it as a guide, not a quote.
42, including the main world currencies and those of the Nordics and the Balkans, such as the Danish krone, Serbian dinar and Macedonian denar. Currencies outside the list cannot be added.
One base per app. Add the app once for each base and put both in the same playlist.
