Ich hatte mich so sehr über die schlechte Bedienbarkeit von Währungsrechner–Apps geärgert, dass ich eine eigene App Travel Currencies für das mittlerweile leider eingestellte Windows-Phone schrieb. Ich erwäge, diese App auf Android, IOS und im Web wieder aufleben zu lassen.

Aktuell gibt es dazu von mir ein Excel-Arbeitsblatt Travel Currencies Währungsrechner (Excel) welches einige Features meiner Windows-Phone App nachbildet.

Alle meine Excel Tools

Alternative Apps

Mittlerweile gibt es z.B. die gut bedienbare CoinCalc App für Android, insbesondere deren zugehöriges Multi-Widget. Damit sieht man mehrere Währungen gleichzeitig und kann ohne Umständlichkeiten bei jeder Währung direkt einen Betrag eingeben, der sofort in alle anderen Währungen umgerechnet wird.
