This is a problem I had with the application as well. I might look back 6 months later at an expense and see a completely different number, since it is showing me the amount converted from the dollar of the day, rather than the historical exchange rate from 6 months ago.
I have decided to work around this by only entering expenses in my local currency manually based on the receipt. A bit sad though since it basically makes the bank sync feature useless.
For my use case for instance, I live in Brazil, where the currency is in BRL, however, I do quite a bit of spending with my US credit card to accumulate points. When syncing my bank to the app, it's going to report everything in USD, which is fine, except I would like to see my budget in BRL since most everything I do is in that currency. Not to worry, the app converts everything when looking at the budget overview. Awesome! One thing though, every time I look back at my numbers for the previous month, they continually change each time I check. I thought I had only spent 400 BRL last month, but now instead it's showing I spent 410. Weird!
That's where I'm at currently. Naveen's comment seems to indicate its been fixed for individual records, which is already 50% of the way there. Now if we can have bank data reflecting the conversion of the day (or better yet, maybe grabbing the bank's own conversion data for the transaction) that would be great.
