I found one free option via Googling for app recommendations - use the built-in Yahoo Stocks app.

Hit the settings button (the "i"), then hit "+" to add a new stock, and use the following format to add an exchange rate rather than an actual stock:

<Three letter currency code 1><Three letter currency code 2>=X [but without the <>]

e.g. "USDGBP=X" gives how many £ you get for a $, while "GBPUSD=X" gives how many $ you get for a £.


I did actually end up buying Measures though after Damien's recommendation & the recommendation of someone on another forum.

I thought if I was going to pay for an app to do currency conversions, I may as well pay for one that converts everything. Bit overkill perhaps as you say Damien, but some of the other functions do look useful.
