π Thanks for your input. Money from ads and subscriptions goes towards developing the app and paying for servers.
Unfortunately, you can't disable ads now because Google Play has disabled monetization for all Russian developers due to sanctions.
Until March 2022, the app had the ability to disable ads for only $5 per year
.
βοΈ Send me email to be notified when the issue is resolved.
I don't like full screen ads either. But unfortunately, it's the only type of advertising that makes money.
The small banner at the bottom of the app doesn't make any money because advertisers aren't interested in this format.

The app gets the exchange rates from our server.
Our server, in turn, gets the data from 20 sources and calculates the middle market rate.
0.915, 0.917, 0.919, 0.919, 0.919, 0.921, 0.921
For example, if sources show these exchange rates for USD-EUR
, then the middle market rate will be 0.919
.

The app updates the exchange rates once per hour.
The application can work without internet using the latest downloaded data.
Yes, the app has an offline mode and fully works without internet. It is very convenient for traveling.
Wherein, when internet is available, the app updates the exchange rates once per hour.
The app has all the currencies of the world from this list, and also the top 20 cryptocurrencies according to CoinMarketCap rating.
I do not include cryptocurrencies that are connected to the US dollar, like USDT, USDC, BUSD, etc.
Currencies are sorted by how often you use them. The more you convert a currency, the higher it will be in the list.
You cannot change the order manually.
The widget shows the three currencies that you most often use in the converter in relation to the currency of your country selected in the iOS settings.
To change your country, open iOS Settings

At the moment, you can't select the currencies yourself, but I'm developing a standalone application called Exchange Rates Widget
with the ability to select currencies and customize the design..
π You can find out about the release of the application on this page or on my twitter @mezhevikin_alex.
You cannot add more than two currencies to the main screen.
I don't want to change the design of the app and break the habit of 7 million users.
However, I am working on a new app with a different design and with 5 currencies on the main screen.

Converter
. - Check expiry date.
If you do not see the Converter in the list or the subscription date has expired, then you have a payment problem.
In this case you should write to AppStore support. Developers do not have direct access to acquiring. Therefore, only Apple can solve this issue.
- Open
Settings

Cancel Subscription

You might need to scroll down to find the Cancel Subscription
button. If there is no Cancel button or you see an expiration message in red text, the subscription is already canceled.
I known that users don't like subscriptions, but unfortunately a one-time purchase is not suitable in this case, because my app has daily expenses.
- The app is used by 500,000 users every day, and I need a powerful server to handle all of the traffic.
- The app uses a distributed DNS network to ensure that exchange rates load quickly from anywhere in the world.
- The app aggregates exchange rates from 20 sources, some of which are paid.
Subscriptions and ads allow me to focus on developing an amazing product and not worry about how I will pay the bills tomorrow.
Starting from March 2022 AppStore does not accept payments from Russian banks.
But you can pay for purchases using the balance of MTS

To calculate 5% of 600
600 Γ 5% = 30
To add 5% to 600
600 + 5% = 630
To subtract 5% from 600
600 β 5% = 570
The percent [%]
button is available starting from version 3.0
.
The app has rounding with automatic precision. You don't need to set it manually. For example:
2 decimal places
1 BTC = 20790.02 USD
5 decimal places
1 JPY = 0.00778 USD
7 decimal places
1 USD = 0.0000481 BTC
I plan to add currency exchange rate charts to the app, but this requires significant modification to our server side.
So, the development of this feature may take some time.
