ExchangeRates.mobi - Exchange Rates & Currency Converter for Mobile Phones

[Andres Kello]

Hi Folks,

I just finished ExchangeRates.mobi, a domain I bought from a member here a week ago.

This is another very useful and highly versatile site. It can convert between 173 currencies, including precious metals and obsolete currencies (e.g. old European currencies, pre-Euro).

"Exchange Rates" has 1 million exact searches per month on Google, so it's in demand, particularly from travelers, which is what drove me to build it, especially since I could not find a fast, free, and user-friendly exchange rate and currency converter site for mobiles (if you can't find it, build it!).

Like most of the mobile sites I develop, it has some neat URL tricks which make mobile access a lot faster since the forms can be skipped altogether:


Quick View: To quickly view the most common exchange rates for a particular currency, you can simply use its 3-letter code directly in the URL preceded by a slash like this:

http://ExchangeRates.mobi/USD


Quick FX Rate: To quickly view an exchange rate for a pair of currencies, you can simply pair their 3-letter codes up in the URL with a dash like this:

http://ExchangeRates.mobi/USD-EUR


Quick Convert: To quickly convert an amount between currencies, you can skip the form at the bottom and go straight to the converted amount via the URL by following the currency pairs with a slash and an amount like this:

http://ExchangeRates.mobi/USD-EUR/143.78


Customize: To customize ExchangeRates.mobi and view your selected exchange rates, you can pair them all up in the URL separated by slashes like this:

http://ExchangeRates.mobi/USD-EUR/EUR-GBP/BRL-CNY

You can then BOOKMARK that page for quick access to your custom list. No login or cookies required.


The drop-down menus are also pre-sorted with quick access to the 14 most traded currencies plus the 4 BRIC currencies.

I've designed the site without tables for maximum compatibility across all mobiles and it scores a 5/5 as usual.

Please browse through it (particularly on non-iPhone's) and let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Whoa, you missed this and I missed your question, so we're even!

The Exchange Rates are delayed by the standard 15 minutes, which is good enough for travelers (and even non-day traders).
