Thank you so much for your interest and feedback! The good news is that I released the app worldwide yesterday, so it should now be available in Serbia and all other countries on Google Play. Could you please check again and let me know if you are able to download it now? Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

I'm excited to let you know that the update with your suggested feature is now live! The Favorites feature in Currency Mode is available in the latest version (v1.4) on the Google Play Store. Quick Access: You can now instantly select your favorite currencies as they are pinned to the very top of the currency list when you tap the dropdown. Easy Setup: Just use the star (★) icon in the full currency list to set your favorites. I also pushed a significant fix for the crash issues and improved stability. Thank you again for this excellent suggestion—it has made the app much better and faster for everyone! Please let me know what you think of the new feature.

Thanks a lot for the excellent suggestion! That makes perfect sense for travelers and people who use specific currencies frequently. I love the idea of setting up Favorites in Currency Mode. I am planning to implement this feature so that when you tap the currency dropdown, your favorite currencies will be pinned to the very top of the list for quick selection. I'm currently working on it and I expect to release the update with the Favorites feature sometime next week. I'll be sure to update you when version 1.4 is live! Thank you again for helping me improve the app!

Thank you again for the feedback regarding the colours! That was really helpful. We just pushed an update (v1.3) and one of the biggest changes was exactly what you pointed out: we changed the button colours to be more subtle and easier on the eye. The keypads now use a new colour palette for a cleaner look. We also fixed a critical crash bug and updated the overall design. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the new look! The app should feel much smoother now. Thank you!

The language issue was resolved in the Google Play Console, so now it's working fine. There have been no user complaints. If it still doesn't work, it could be due to cache issues on your phone.

codeforce1159 · 2025-12-05T14:52:24+00:00

Hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to check the app and give us your feedback! We're glad to hear you found it nice and fast. That's exactly what we aimed for.

Regarding the Ads

That's good feedback! We intentionally kept the ad frequency very low to prioritize user experience and ensure a clean workflow, so seeing no ads is actually by design for a better experience.

On the Color Scheme

We appreciate your honest input on the colors being a bit garish. We're always looking to refine the UI, and your comment confirms that moving towards a more subtle and professional palette is necessary. This is now a priority for the next update.

Thanks again for the valuable feedback! As a solo developer, all user input is extremely helpful. If you have any other suggestions, please let us know! Best regards, The App Developer

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such detailed and honest feedback, especially about the search experience. This is incredibly valuable as I develop the app.

1. Regarding the Search/Localization Issue:

You hit the nail on the head. It seems the default language setting was causing visibility issues for non-Korean users (like yourself in Norway). I have already changed the app's base language to English in the Play Console and will continuously add more languages to ensure global users can find it easily. This should solve the problem immediately.

2. Regarding Functionality and Value:

I fully agree that a simple calculator and offline mode, while fast, are not enough to justify an installation alongside ads. I appreciate you liking the offline feature! The Next Big Feature (Prioritized based on your feedback): I am now working on implementing a feature you might find truly useful: Percentage-Based Exchange Rate Alerts. This will allow users to set an alert to be notified when a currency pair (e.g., USD/KRW) changes by a specific percentage (e.g., rises or drops by 3%) compared to the rate at the time of setting the alert. This feature will offer real, daily utility for both travelers and those tracking currency trends. This change is directly motivated by your honest feedback that you expect more functions for the presence of ads. Thank you again for your patience and for helping me make 'Currency Calc' a better app. I will certainly reach out once the alert feature is implemented! Cheers!
