XE Currency Converter goes native for BlackBerry 10

If currency conversion rates are something you need to keep track of then there is no reason to look any further.

By Bla1ze on 16 Mar 2013 10:16 pm

For those of you out there who like to keep an eye on the current currency conversion rates, XE has now released their native app, XE Currency Converter for BlackBerry 10. It's simple app but despite that it's one that is used by millions of people each day, so to have it on BlackBerry 10 and have it done right is a good thing.

Supporting over 180 different currencies and offering the ability to monitor up to 10 at a time in addition to viewing historical charts and adjusting refresh rates, if currency conversion rates are something you need to keep track of then there is no reason to look any further.

The app is available right now in BlackBerry World, you can grab it by hitting the link below.

i wish i had this from the beginning. how does that work when an app goes from Android to Native. is it a separate app or was there an update that updated the Android port to Native App?

Exactly, this is what I wanna know as well! Anyone have an answer?

Edit: Apparently, this was a new app, not an upgrade (from the comments below). I wonder if that's how it has to be, or whether that was the choice of XE to distinguish the native app...

The ported one appeared on AppWorld sometimes ago was not officially from XE, it was stolen and illegally ported by someone else, RIM removed it from AppWorld few weeks later.

Just downloaded, very happy with it

This was a new App. Had the Android port before and this was a new download, not an update. Works great!

Curse you all with your red z10s... I refuse to be jealous....

I solved my jealousy by getting a red transform shell from ShopCrackberry.com works like a charm!

*Love* the red transform shell! It actually gives the z10 a whole different and super cool look!

Nice, as a biz owner I like XE Currency, rate is up to date.

XE Currency for BB10 is a good free one but it does NOT support historical charts, and limit to 10 currencies only.

Try this native BB10 currency app: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/21198370/
- Live exchange rates
- Historical charts
- Offline mode
- Built-in calculator
- One touch to change base currency

Only supports 148 VS the 180 this free one is featured has. $0.99 ain't bad. Once I get my Q10, that'll be another one I might grab.

pshemek Mar 17, 2013 at 6:17 am

Yeah, it's been available for few days now. I missed this app. Now I only need Soundhound or Shazam and a better shift work calendar and I'll be all happy. I don't remember to use any other apps that are not already available in BB World. Never used instagram or skype either.
