The useful currency conversion app for those coming to (or in) Thailand that I reviewed early in February has just been updated and is now shown as version 1.1.

The update to Thai Baht Exchange has added some more useful attributes to the app. It now has support for Thai and Japanese, while -- especially valuable -- will work in an offline mode, using the last available downloaded rates. The information with the update also advises users that the logo for the Krung Thai Bank has been updated.

Along with a fix for a bug with the Hong Kong Dollar conversions, there have also been some minor improvements.
