It is very nerdy but I absolutely love to have my fred data handy and ready to pull out for quick conversations about the economy. My biggest problem is how clunky, buggy and unreliable the app can be. For example, I tried to show my friend a CPI chart that I had made on the PC with CPI Less housing and Core CPI. But when I went to show the graph on the expanded horizontal view, it bugged out and did not show half of the data. I wish that this app got a good overhaul or at least regular bug fixes.
