Elk Currency Converter for Negative User Reviews
✓ I hate giving these kinds of reviewsBut it has never properly on my iWatch 3 since day 1. I have tried everything to get it to update the currency to the present day but it won’t and no matter what I try the watch version is stuck on converting Euros to USD even after I have selected another country. It has potential. Once the kinks are worked out and it works I will definitely give it 5 stars..Version: 1.2.3
✓ StrangeElk is almost perfect except that bizarrely it does not let you input your own precise total (€608.87) for expenses claims. Why not?.Version: 1.3
✓ Could be betterOn my iPhone and Apple Watch, it only goes to 1,000 units. Limited use when you go to Vietnam, Indonesia or Japan among many countries.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Really not use friendly at allNot good.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Not even worth a starIt's just a list of conversions. And you have to pay to unlock any other currency conversions. Just use Google guys, unless you're willing to spend $5 for a small list..Version: 1.0
✓ Too confusing!Not user friendly. Converter works for US dollars only! I wanted an app that could convert euros, pounds, etc..Version: 1.4.1
✓ BrokenIn theory sounds like great app but in reality it doesn't work on iwatch as other reviewer says the digits are not shown on display and can't be changed by crown, must be a bug. Please fix.Version: 1.0
✓ Watch app crashing & can't contactThe watch app is crashing left and right for me. If I don't interact with the app or if I interact with it too fast or if I try to enter settings the watch app crashes. I wanted to submit a bug report or at least get in contact with the developer but I didn't find any way to do so. I subscriber to the app so that I can convert to and from my currency but the apple watchapp is stuck on EUR USD. If the apple watch app would be usable this app would deserve 5 stars but right now I just simply can't use the app so I give it 1 star..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Make a widgetPlease make a widget that shows 10 conversions units that you can choose from for iPhone . It could be 2 columns or 4 columns to save vertical space . Easy to pick which 2 currencies to select for the widgets Thanks.Version: 1.2.3
✓ It doesn’t work..If one wants to throw money away... here’s a solution!.Version: 1.3
✓ WTFI just want to enter an amount and find out what the exchange rate is. Just keep it simple!!!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Not quite usefulIt’s quite mean to have just a few currencies for free while I can get many free currency exchange rate for free..Version: 1.3
✓ Awful and useless.Worst ever. Completely stupid app..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Nice designWhy charge for this? Seriously?.Version: 1.5.5
✓ I'll Pass!It took me all about 10 seconds to figure out that this app is that for me. 😡.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Lack of detail an issue for meA great design and works well on an Apple Watch but the iPhone app is unable to convert at a detailed enough level for me. For example, you can't immediately convert a figure like 317 or 4550 as the increments aren't at a low enough level - although strangely the Watch app allows this but I don't always wear my watch. If you need this level of accuracy and don't own an Apple Watch perhaps this isn't the app for you..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Not FreeAs others have said, it’s not free. The moment you select another country currency, they want money. Don’t waste your time and simply check rates online for free just as quick and simple..Version: 1.3
✓ Don’t bother.I tried using Thai bhat but it’s not free. Too many other options out there that are free. I’ll go back to them after I delete this one..Version: 1.4
✓ Elegant and simpleVery elegant application with a simple interface. I’m using it all the time during my trip overseas. The Apple Watch app is really convenient. The only issue I’ve encountered recently is that the watch app tends to reset the entered value to 10 often. This is quite annoying and should be an easy fix. Just don’t reset the previously entered value please. Update: the app on that Apple Watch continues to be buggy. It crashes constantly and always resets my prior values entered. I’m starting to regret buying this app..Version: 1.4.1
✓ CheatersMexican Peso used to be one of the free currencies. Now I have to pay for it. What the hell!?!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ MisleadingRip off.Version: 1.3
✓ Good idea, little janky UXSwiping sometimes doesn’t work if you don’t swipe for long enough (even though the phone will vibrate). Also, it’s too hard to swap currencies (need to click on a currency to bring up a menu, and if you click in between the currencies, nothing happens). Swapping shouldn’t take two clicks..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Would like to see more options.Would really like to see conversions higher than $20. I need an app like this for work but am mostly dealing with much higher numbers than this..Version: 1.4
✓ Surprised it asked for paymentIt’s a well-designed, very useful app. I played around with it a little after I downloaded it and really enjoyed it. However, the free version has very limited foreign currencies. You have to pay to use most world currencies. I have other apps that give me the same data for free. I deleted it immediately..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Total shamHave to pay to change currencies. Why bother when I can just google it..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Better than nothingShould be simple to use but won’t multiply or decrease by swiping left or right as per the instructions. Very frustrating..Version: 1.4
✓ Good idea but rates do not automatically updateInterface is easy to use but you have to manually update the currency exchange rates.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Apple Watch app is goodNot being able to do exact conversions in th phone app is poor.Version: 1.5.4
✓ Not freeWhy would I spend money on this when you can just look this up on browser for free.Version: 1.4.1
✓ UselessThis app only converts US$ to Aus $ and there is warning of this before installing. Bad luck if you are travelling to other places..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Good if..I can only choose up to 9 digits how to I go higher than that.Version: 1.3
✓ Poorly designed and poorly supportedDo not believe all the “rave” reviews and after my experience with the app and the support (none existing), I question the legitimacy of the so called “awards.” The UI was poorly designed, the UX was also lacking. Features are almost none other than pick your currency and go with it. The 14 days free trial was just a click-bait to get you into paying them now but charge later scam. Some reviewers mentioned this might even be a subscription based service!!!!! What’s more frustrating, was the support which is none. I sent them an email requesting clarification on the purchase (I don’t want subscribe to a currency converter), there was zero responses. I’m concerned they may even forwarded my email address to spammers. All in all, poor product, poor support, and questionable recognitions..Version: 1.5.5
✓ A problem on watch app?This app has a clean simple layout and looks a good potential watch app. However you have rotatate the crown to change a digit on the watch, but this does not seem to work, no digits appear in the little boxes.. maybe a bug? For now it effectively just sows you the current exchange rate. The phone app however seems to do all it is supposed to and may be useful on my next trip..Version: 1.0
✓ Freebie was great, high price thoughThis is a great looking app and easy to use if you’re a traveller but I think it’s price for full functionality is a tad high. If it were half price it’d be well worth it. I think under £2 is more reasonable - although I’m sure the developers will disagree :) There are a couple of good free ones to use in the meantime with good reviews..Version: 1.5.5
✓ Not free at allThe only thing is that it’s not free at all. You can’t choose any other currency without paying for the app or “trying” 14 days trial. :(.Version: 1.3
✓ I paid for thisWhy do I need a subscription for the app I paid for?.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Problem with the Watch AppI really like the idea of this app and it looks straight forward and easy to use, but the watch app's gestures don't seem to be working correctly. When you swipe with only one bar for currency it is hard to add another and takes several swipes for it to register. If this gets fixed I will definitely upgrade..Version: 1.0
✓ Great ...but sometimes confusingGreat for most countries but for some with large denominations (e.g. Indonesia) the display is very confusing..Version: 1.4.1
✓ OverratedIt converts currency but you cannot really use it for much until you pay. Relatively poor value. Other currency converters are readily available for free. Moreover full conversation apps convert a lot more (weights, distance, measurements, temperature etc) for similar cost. It may be useful if it did not need the Internet - but it does need to go on-line to check rates anyway. Save your money..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Not good🤨Cannot connect to a different currency.Version: 1.4
✓ Not freeI tried using it with Mexican Pesos but it would not let me if I didn’t pay for the app....Version: 1.4
✓ Too expensive for what it isA bit too expensive for what it is really..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Apple WatchDoes not allow all currency’s on watch even though I have paid for if (works on iPhone ).Version: 1.4
✓ XBT BTC please!Can you please add bitcoin to your app, then this app is an easy 5✨ as people will use this each day, well done..Version: 1.4
✓ .Needs bitcoin and other popular digital currencies..Version: 1.4.1
✓ DeletingIt doesn’t serve my purpose. It gives you only US to Canadian funds unless you pay for a subscription. I’m not about to pay for it unless I know it works..Version: 1.4.1
✓ ElkIl ne calcul rien !.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Awesome app one huge problemWhy can’t you just select which two currencies you want and just type a value to convert. Tables are pretty worthless if I need to know an exact amount. Other things that should be included is a chart of what is going on and maybe news tied into it as well . What a waste of 4.00.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Real cool for a secI was looking for a conversion app and sure this one puts it really simply so there’s not so much stuff everywhere and all that ya know, but then you see the widget option and you’re like woah this is awesome, but then you need to “unlock” the widget, like really? you need to pay just to see the rates in the widget area??.Version: 1.3
✓ Everything is locked👎🏿.Version: 1.2.3
✓ So useless, it deserves a failure awardThis app has absolutely sacrificed usability and functionality for minimal design, and yet is still shocking difficult to use. Weirdly easy to set custom conversion rates, but very hard to revert them back to the live currency rate. As far as I can tell, no way to set a specific value and have the app convert for you, just a static list of small dollar conversions. Skip at all costs, pretty at first, absolutely useless for frequent travelers. Apparently designed by someone who never actually converts money. You’d be better off scratching multiplication tables in the sand..Version: 1.4
✓ Neglected QA on watchI believe in supporting independent developers and I like Elk so decided to upgrade but I’m not entirely happy that even though I have the upgraded version running on my phone, the Apple watch app won’t let me use alternative currencies. It prompts me to “start a trial on my phone” and as far as I can find has no way to mirror a paid for status on my watch..Version: 1.3
✓ Elk sucksWhe n I attempted to switch currencies around it twice informed me that my free trial expired minutes after using it. Ugggggh.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Good layout but fails to update figuresAs above.Version: 1.4.1
✓ AsdfDefault free version is usd to aud, the rest are paid only.Version: 1.0
✓ WeirdIn VND I should change your currency wording I’m I start of 1,000 10,000 100k Then 1,000k In VN 1,000k means 1,000vnd U should have just written 1M.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Apple Watch app brokenBought the full version, works fine on iPhone X but Apple Watch everything says it’s locked anyway. Tried a few reinstalls but it looks like it’s just busted..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Not free. False advertisingNot free. Don’t advertise it as a free app..Version: 1.2.3
✓ TerribleRidiculous design that seems to tricky to figure out god knows how it works! How much is $80 in quids?? Anyone! Anyone!.Version: 1.0
✓ Nice design yet confusing unitsGreat app when it comes to quick checking. However, what is the reasoning behind using 1000K instead of 1M? To me it looks awful!.Version: 1.4
✓ Looks pretty, but not quite practicalLooks pretty, but not quite practical. You can’t type the amount you want to convert.Version: 1.4.1
✓ DisappointedIf I’d have to pay 5 dollars for some simple conversion rates then I’d rather google it on the internet. What a rip off.Version: 1.3
✓ C’est 20$ CAD Max. C’est décevantC’est décevant.Version: 1.4
✓ CripplewareSounds good but unless you are visiting the US, Japan, Europe or Switzerland its useless.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Not fully freeYou have to pay to change the currency by paying a subscription..Version: 1.3
✓ A couple of issuesVery cool app and the concept is easy. so why two stars? Because it lacks figures under 10 pesos and from 1 million to 10 million it lists it as K’s. So one million is not 1M, but 1,000K. 2 million is 2,000K and so on. Until you get to 10 million which finally shows as 10M. I personally would drop the K. For example, instead of 100k I would list it as 100,000. it goes up to 99,000, it’s not too much to just add one more digit, up to a million then use the M for the millions. I have shown the app to several people and they all got confused. out of 11 people 4 eventually figured it out, but took then a few minutes, and the test I had to explain it to then and they hated it. Even though I figured it out, I won’t don’t use the app often because of these issues. Due to my job I deal a lot with large figures, in the hundred of thousands and millions of pesos, so this is a deal breaker for me and I have to use the EX app but most often a good old calculator. Recently with my Apple Watch I ask SIRI to convert x amount of Mexican pesos to US dollars and she does it..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Price is out of controlIt may be beautiful, but requiring a subscription, A SUBSCRIPTION!! to access any currency outside of the USD, is a rip-off! Don’t waste your time downloading this piece of trash..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Forced to buy againHow many times do I have to purchase this app! No option to restore purchase..Version: 1.5.5
✓ ElkGreat app but could do with having 3 currencies as Vietnam tends to switch VND, USD and then home currency. Short trial period not even 30 days. Even though we purchased this app it didn’t work with family sharing or purchase role over on to iwatch..Version: 1.4
✓ My opinionIt’s fantastic is this app available for other Platforms as well ?.Version: 1.3
✓ Since iOS 11 no more currency updatesAnd since it no longer does currency updates it makes it pretty useless. Fix please..Version: 1.2.2
