Description

This app will allow you to select a currency from the list and then see conversions for all other available currencies.

You can click on all the results to see details, the country name...and FLAGS!

If you select "Error Testistan" from the list it will pass a bad country code for the API call to test the error handling.

It will also display the last time the rates were updated.
