How To: International Exchange Rates in iOS Stocks App

I like to keep an eye on the exchange rate for the US Dollar against the British Pound Sterling GBP and the Euro, and have been using the Stocks app built into iOS. I don't have any stocks, so I only use the application for tracking exchange rates and it performs well for my needs.




Over the last few weeks I have shared this functionality with a few friends who also want to keep track of exchange rates and realized that setting these up in the Stocks app is not at all obvious, some would say impossible unless you know the process. Thankfully, once you know the process, it's a piece of cake.

Here are the steps

  1. Open the Stocks app
  2. Tap the ( i ) icon in the bottom right hand corner
  3. Tap the +  icon in the top left corner
  4. Enter the currency rate described as AAABBB=X in the search box (e.g: GBPUSD=X )
  5. Tap the item in the list
  6. Click the "Done" button in the top right corner

  13. Thanks for writing this clear guideline!Exchange rate is such a mystery for me, but this app looks quite useful and what is even more important for me - user-friendly :) I've always thought that only banks and probably some other credit unions are likely to provide the best exchange rate and charge the lowest fees. Wasn't I right?
