Currency rates do not update on Windows #300

Open janneroyibo opened 1 month ago

janneroyibo commented 1 month ago

Would it be possible to link the currency converter to an online source such that currency conversion rates are updated regularly ? (last update date presently is from 1/13/2023)

ferraridamiano commented 1 month ago

The currency rates are updated the first time of the day you open the app. What is exactly the issue?

Hi Damiano,

If I use app to convert 1 Euro to US Dollar, it tells me exchange rate is 1.0814 (as below) @.***

However if I search online in browser , I get an exchange rate of 1.1083 ( see below)

@.*** This is important for me as I get paid in USD but need to know its Euro equivalent as I am living in a country whose currency is pegged to Euro.

Thanks nad kind regards, John PS I do really like this app and am just trying to let you improve it !!

I confirm that this bug exist on Windows. There has to be some sort on limitation on Windows accessing the ECB website that I am not aware of. I mark this as a bug on my side. I have to do some reasearch about it
