Hi!

I find the different currencies very useful. My only problem is, my credit card is in one currency, but I also use it in another country so when I use it, I need to calculate the exchange rate and input the amount in the home currency, and make a note of the actual amount in the currency used. I noticed that in Breakdowns, the currency gets converted to my main currency. May I ask where I can find the exchange rates you use for the app, so I can better input my amounts?

Thank you!

I see your point. This is something that may be improved upon in the future, will write down your request.

You can see the list of currencies and their exchange rates by going to Savings > Preferences on the menu.

I am also traveling right now, so I am using my US credit card in a foreign country from time to time. What I do is I write down the actual amount in foreign currency in the note area, and let the amount just be estimate until it is matched with my bank's record.

Great, found it! This is really a nifty app! Are the exchange rates static or pegged? Just so I know what to expect.

Yes, that is also what I am doing right now. Now that I know what the exchange rate you have put in is, I can put in a closer estimate.

Great. Exchange rate is updated with each version of Savings. A version of Savings is coming out this month, it is in beta now: http://savingsapp.com/blog/11.

How do I manually change the exchange rate of a currency? Or perhaps how do I add a currency or when will Honduras' Lempira become available??

Ok, I will add the Lempira currency to the next release. For now, can you find a substitute currency that is close to it in exchange rate? 

The reason there has been no update lately is because I have been working exclusively on iCloud sync, and the code is currently not in a releasable state. I can spend time to make the old build work, to add in new currency list this, but with limited time I have, I rather just focus working on sync and get that released first.
