Mobile App: Home tab currency symbol doesn't immediately reflect new primary currency
planned
Clara from Lunch Money
On mobile, totals on the Home tab (Net Income, Est. Net Worth, etc.) display the currency symbol, based on the original primary currency set for the account.
If the primary currency is changed on the web app, once you close and reopen the app, the values will be converted to the new primary currency, but the currency symbols remain the same as the original primary currency. If you switch budget account and then switch back, the currency symbol then reflects correctly. So closing and reopening the app doesn't fix it, but switching budget accounts does.

Mobile App: Currency Issues

There is a gross inconsistency in the use of currency symbols and conversions in the mobile app. When a user account uses multiple currencies, they appear to display correctly in the transactions page of the app, but on the home page, things are all over the place, mostly defaulting to $ even if the default currency is set as something else. I believe it may just be a currency symbol issue, and that the conversions are in fact taking place, but I'm not entirely sure.

In my situation, the currency was set to Euro as the default for both the app and the web interface, but everything was still using the USD symbol. However, I discovered what should have been an obvious solution. I tried everything IN the app, such as changing the currency, closing the app, swtiching tabs, etc.
What fixed it was to simply logout AFTER setting the default currency in the web interface and app to Euro, and then log back in.

Confirming that this is not a one off issue. I have it as well, despite my primary currency being set to euro. The issue appears to only be with the app home page.
