### 2/5 — No news updates

*2026-02-17, version 6.3.0*

The app is getting frozen with daily news updates. That has been going on for probably more than 6 months. I believe that is unacceptable in 2026.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t update

*2025-02-06, version 6.3.0*

App hasn’t updated in three weeks

### 4/5 — Great app but needs a small enhancement

*2021-12-19, version 5.0.4*

FreightWaves has established itself as industry’s go-to for news, updates, analysis, and pertinent data. Articles are straight to the point and expand on certain nuances where necessary. The application is a great addition to FW informational products. All articles available on the site are also available in the app. My only criticism is that none of the charts are available in the app version of the articles. Mention may be made to it by text but all a reader encounters is a blank space. This is not an issue of iOS version of iPhone model as I have tested this across several, from iPhone 6 to 13 pro. I encourage the development team to figure out a way to incorporate charts in the app version.

### 1/5 — Removed app don’t use

*2020-11-05, version 5.0.4*

I can’t put my finger on it but the articles seem to promote a political agenda rather than factual news no doubt influenced by unknown influences and reasons I would seek more direct sources for reliable information.

### 5/5 — Great app - works flawlessly

*2019-11-16, version 5.0.4*

Great alternative to their website - FW content is generally my first stop of the workday and this makes it easy to read while drinking coffee
