Review Summary
User reviews for 'Automatic Currency Converter' praise its automatic price conversion and ability to show both original and converted prices. However, many users report consistent issues with currency recognition, especially for formats where symbols appear after amounts (like Euros). The extension has a limited currency list and lacks customization features such as domain-specific activation and adjusting exchange rates to include card fees. Some users also note incomplete conversion coverage on certain websites. Despite these drawbacks, it remains one of the more effective and user-friendly currency converters available in the Chrome Web Store.
Pros
- Automatically converts all prices on a website without needing to click or copy each one.
- Allows viewing of both original and converted prices simultaneously.
- Feature rich and more effective than many similar extensions available in the store.
- Simple and easy to use with helpful automatic conversions.
- Good for quickly seeing currency conversions while browsing online shopping sites.
Cons
- Fails to recognize currencies correctly when the currency symbol is after the amount, such as Euros (e.g., 5,18 €).
- Limited currency list, missing some currencies like UAH, and no option to add custom currencies.
- Lacks option to select which websites/domains the extension is active on, causing unwanted conversions.
- Inconsistent conversion on some websites or price formats; not all prices get converted properly.
- No option to add a custom percentage to the exchange rate to account for credit card or conversion fees.
