Easy Currency Converter
Travelers shopping abroad may often find themselves staring at a price tag, unable to turn foreign currencies into recognizable numbers. The Easy Currency Converter app solves this problem, offering exchange rates for more than 180 currencies with both online, live exchange rates and offline mode options. The application also offers conversion rates for 4 metals and Bitcoin, in addition to the ability to convert multiple currencies at once. Users can also view graphs of fluctuations within the currency exchange rate, and they can set up personalized currency lists.
Grabr
Shopping abroad inevitably leads to the struggle of fitting new purchases into an already overstuffed suitcase or else dragging extra luggage along for the duration of the trip. Luckily for travelers, the app Grabr allows purchasers to connect with travelers willing to deliver the goods at a later date. Using the app, users can post their item and travelers can make bids to pick up the item. After choosing the best offer, Android users can chat with the traveler, set up a secure payment to be released upon delivery, and choose a public meeting place to receive the item. Purchasers will receive regular delivery updates while saving themselves the high fees typically associated with overseas delivery.
