It 1) Compares over 40 bureaux to find you the cheapest currency and 2) Has a unique personalised currency calculator once you’re away to show your exact rate each day (and which card/cash to use to cut the cost).
We've just put it in the Google Play store for Android phones (iPhone version is coming, but it takes longer to approve).
It's fully working, but brand new, so we'd love your feedback - what do you think, anything missing, do you understand it?
Please feedback here

I think it has promise Amy. I played with it for a while and it was a bit glitchy, but got a good result in the end, so worth sticking with.
I was looking up a currency that I will be looking to use. Not a mainstream currency (dollar or euro for example), but equally not particularly rare. First search got stuck in a loop for 20 minutes, so went back, started over, results up pretty quick.
The results weren't all what I asked for. I asked for local collection and the number one result was for collection from the airport. Also, my local bureau de change, that I normally use, did not feature in the list. This is a minor inconvenience though as I can easily check the list given against that.
The second function, working out which is cheaper: spending on a card or using money, was a very useful function. I've never looked at that level of detail before, purely because I haven't had the calculations at my fingertips. The amounts involved are not big, nevertheless it is very handy.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Amy, can you look at this thread too?

The concept is fine but if it does not cover all bureau's how do you know you have the cheapest deal?
I use Change-Link in Victoria and their rate is better than any on this App so I am not confident it will do much for me.

I quite like this app, but have got an error on my Halifax clarity card when trying to calculate for Mauritius rupees where it says "your card cannot be used". Is this trying to say that card cannot be used in Mauritius?0

Quite like the app but it does offer me companies that are just not available in my area. Despite it asking for my postcode it offers airport pickup by Moneycorp at airport but my local airports (Manchester & Liverpool) do not have Moneycorp branches. It also says ASDA and Debenhams gives good rates but my local ASDA and Debenhams (Blackpool) do not have travel money facilities.0

Well that's pants!
Apparently there are no bureaux where I can collect €2000 within 10 miles of London.
Selecting 'deliver' the 'loading results' thing just keeps going round in circles.
The only option that is working is 'collect from airport'.
I'll be uninstalling that then!Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -

I just spent 10 minutes going through that thread and am at a loss as to what it's got to do with an app.
Someone has serious grind issuesThe common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.0
