  • Really needs an update

    Data, graphing and info are all great but this app needs some enhancements to be usable for an investor. Chiefly, it needs to include a way to sort on upcoming indcators. It's not enough to know something is published monthly. I need to know what's being published this month (even better, this week) and when. I purchased this application over a year ago and I still don't use it for this reason. I wish the coders would add this enhancement, then I would use it nearly every day.
  • Excellent informative application !!!

    I just upgraded to v2.0. Very good enhancements including landscape mode charts.

    Great app to keep track of a variety of economic indicators. Easy to use and very fast loading.
  • Great App!!, Great Information!!

    I could not believe how quick and easy this application was when I started using it. The information is fast and timely. This is really a great application. Looking forward to seeing apps like this for the rest of the G-20 countries.
  • App not written by a user of economic data

    While the idea for this app is good, I was very disappointed. It seems that the developers had no input from an economist or business person familiar with how economic variables are reported and used. For example, showing GDP in levels is not as useful as showing quarter-over-quarter or year-over-year growth. It would be nice if you could specify various types of growth rates for the chart. Also, GDP for the second quarter states that it grew 0.2% over the first quarter. True, but that is not the conventional way GDP is reported. It should be q/q annualized growth. Hopefully the developers will address these shortcomings in future versions. I would recommend waiting. As it is currently written it is of limited use.
  • Outstanding App!

    This app is worth buying. I think it's great how I can check a variety of important economic indicators all in one app. Please add some more indicators in future updates, such as Consumer Spending, Consumer Confidence,...etc. Thanks!
  • Home Price/Value

    I would like to see the adverage yearly home price/value adjusted for inflation. I think this is a better indacator for the housing market. I would also like to see local and state information added.
  • just what I had been searching for

    Very nice app that provides a convenient access to economic data. Definitely worth the price. I hope they continue to add improvements, such as more data perhaps worldwide data. Graphs could be tweaked a bit. No real complaints though.
  • Real Time

    I use an iPod Touch. Need to jump on Wi Fi when I can. Am looking for real time apps, that can update information and let me read that information when loose Wi Fi connection. You can only read the information when you are online. When offline, it give you an error message. New York Times app does an outstanding job in this regard.
  • Great App for Monitoring the Economy

    The raw data in this app is better than listening to the talking heads on TV. The app has a bunch of great data that updates with the economy. Highly recommended. Five stars.
  • good start

    User-friendly and great idea, but lacks depth. The data on the app is surprisingly weak considering the vast amount that is available consistently released. For example, there are only three data points in this app for the housing sector. This not helpful. What about multi-family or even "all housing" stats, price indices, regional data, etc. This is all published at the same time as the three stats listed and is just as easy to access. That said, app is well designed and easy to navigate. Only other complaint is the lack of a scale on the y-axis of graphs.
