Just Garbage
The app is non functional, viewing graphs you would think would be the main benefit, but it’s very broken experience. This is just web slop or react native shoved in an app.
What happened?
Graph Images are cropped, making it impossible to use for months. Never used to be like this.
Very excited… but graph images are cropped
Very excited to use this app. Had no idea that Fred put this together. However, the graph images are being cropped so only the top half is visable. This affects the image no matter, so when saving a photo it only saves the top half of the graph. Once this is resolved, I look forward to changing my rating to five stars.

App is Utter Garbage, Data is Incredible Though!
The entirety of this app is carried by the data they provide, and rightfully so. However, if you are going to make an app at least have some developers on the team with UI experience. This is truly an eyesore to open and the website is so much better.
With that being said, and I know this is a real reach here, but it would be awesome if you could include widgets of at least our favorite's. Would be awesome to not even have to open the app and just see the real time market data.

App runs like it's 2005
Can't login with apple account, can't remove favorites, charts miniscule and unreadable, to name a few of the multitude of problems with this app
Love FRED. Prefer the web version.
I use the app on an iphone, which may be the problem. Graphs are small. Expanding graph axises go off page with (seemingly) no way to resize to fit to view. Web FRED works better on my phone. A lot better.
I’d like to give it more than 3 stars but bugs make it unusable
FRED itself is great but the iPhone app is unusable given the graphs are like off the screen every time and can’t even be viewed properly for whatever reason
Also think I’ve had issues with logging in and saving data or comparisons.
If they fix it I’d be happy to edit my review to 4 or 5 stars.

Broken
Very good app until it just stopped working around Dec/Jan. The chart is cut off at the bottom.
Needs work
Doesn’t let you scroll through the graph, meaning you will only see maybe half the charts even if you turn your phone horizontally. If you do turn your phone horizontally, all you will be able to see is half a graph and not be able to change settings or parameters. When you select years, it will automatically give you projections instead of actual, meaning if you select “1 year” it will give you a projection of 2033-2034 instead of actual 2023-2024. Gonna keep the app because I would like to see it become more robust, but right now, this ain’t it chief. Better to go through the browser than the app.

Dated but handy
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.

Enhancements
Would be nice to see all of the Edit Graph features from the web version.
The X axis often isn’t visible in the app.

Bad Request
Every time I want to register for an account I get a “Bad Request: Account Verification Failed”. It happens when I try to make a sign in through Apple account or when I try using a regular email.
Partially featured
1. Full screen view of saved graphs often glitches and does not show full screen
2. Can only save and share as a low quality JPEG. Cannot export in multiple formats (PDF, Excel, ...)
3. Cannot view saved dashboards
5. Cannot use graphing editor tool

Poor search functionality
Using the search bar to look up data series is essentially non functional rendering the entire user experience moot
A “Hidden Gem” Fantastic App
Appreciated for giving us such amazing app, download it means holding the macro in your own hand.
Can't save location or toggle notifications
I've tried uninstalling and re-adding on my iphone, ipad, and macbook, and location and notifications are still not working. Good info and content but it doesn't help me if I can't use the bulk of the features. I see an update hasn't been released in over 6 months so wondering if a big one is coming soon?

Crashes, flips aspects randomly
This is a very poor app. It is difficult to find data (among waves of lists), the app has crashed every time (seriously 100% of the time) that I’ve tried to use it, and it flips between landscape and portrait mode on its own and seemingly without reason. I deleted it after a few attempts. No point playing with this app. It’s the worst app I’ve ever encountered.

The search bar doesn’t work
The search bar doesn’t narrow down the list of things you’re looking for. When I want to look for “home price,” it’ll read the “h” and start listing suggestions starting with h, but it doesn’t do anything with the rest of the search term. I just need the series names to call data into MATLAB, but the website is 10x better. Y’all need to fire whoever is developing the app and hire someone serious.

Important tool to Fact Check
In this economic climate I’m surprised this app hasn’t exploded in popularIty.
For example; The app allows me to quickly check long term employment trends to form an opinion.
