    Jon,

    maybe you could check out the app "Share-a-Bill". The app is old and lacks many of Splitwise's advanced functionality, but has this very neat and simple currency conversion functionality.

    I would like to suggest to extend the currency functionality not only by being able to enter our own exchange rates -as already suggested by others- but to change the whole conversion process from a one way on demand process to an instant conversion process preserving the original amount and currency. The multiple currencies used within a group should be configurable not only by currency type but also by exchange rate. One of the currencies needs to be the main/home currency. Following this concept each entered item is denominated in its currency and if not entered in the main/home currency, instantly converted. Both values are then stored, preserving original value and currency and make the process repeatable in case the exchange rate needs to be adjusted.

    I agree. This would also change the oneway on demand process to a repeatable conversion process, as the original values are preserved.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I can see how this would be useful, but in general, we’re not planning to add additional currency conversion features to the app at this time. The feedback we’ve received on our current set of conversion features suggests that there may not be a fair solution to the currency conversion problem that is generally acceptable. Until we can come up with a good design to get around this issue, we’ll continue to mostly keep currencies separate. Sorry I don’t have a better solution for you!

    I can definitely see how this would be useful for certain types of groups, especially travel. For now, you can always temporarily change your default currency from your account settings page (though I realize that’s not the best solution). Apologies for the trouble!
