About Juvo

Hi, I’m Alexey. I make Juvo, a currency converter and price scanner for iPhone.

I moved to Thailand, so I pay in a currency that isn’t mine every day. Juvo is the app I use for it: I point the camera at a price tag and see what it costs in my own currency. That is also why the examples on this site are in Thai baht.

What Juvo does

• Converts the price on a tag or a receipt through the camera, on the phone.
• Switches the converter to the local currency when you arrive in a new country.
• Keeps the latest exchange rates on the phone, so the converter works offline.
• Shows what a card payment in your home currency (dynamic currency conversion) and ATM fees cost you.
• Suggests a typical tip for 64 countries and splits the bill.

Juvo has no accounts and no ads. Before version 2.0 the app was called Currency Converter & Scanner. See what’s new in Juvo 2.0.

Where the numbers come from

Exchange rates. The app downloads rates from the Juvo server and shows when they were last updated. They are reference rates: your bank or exchange provider sets the amount you actually pay.

Tips. The tipping pages use the same figures as the tip calculator in the app. Each page shows the date the figures were last reviewed.

Guides. The travel money guides link to the sources for their numbers and rules: card networks, regulators and consumer organizations.

Juvo is on the App Store, and so is my developer page.
