Kinda useless for free

Downloaded this app purely so I could see different income levels as I travel throughout my city. But I have to pay TEN dollars a month. 10!! If it was like 2 bucks for a cheaper version with only a handful of user chosen stats I would understand and maybe even be willing to buy sometimes. But 10 dollars for an app I won’t use every day for then a few minutes each time I do seems too much. I like the idea tho and would come back if pricing was realistic.

Overpriced

This app is actually really well-made.

The 3 stars is for the unrealistic price, I’d be happy to watch an add to add a premium filter, but not pay $10/month.

Most features/layers are free, but we don't plan to cheapen the experience with ads right now. An annual tier at a discount is pending approval from Apple so will be live soon, and we're continuing to add in more features that a subscription gets you. Appreciate the feedback

Nice idea and design

I had a similar vision when was working with Census data for my projects using Tableau software. I praise the developers for implementing this into reality.

Thanks - glad you find it useful

Revert back

This was an awesome app a few months ago. It was easy to update the layers and move the map. The new format is TERRIBLE, it is laggy and impossible to see what available optional layers are. Even scrolling through them takes ages and it is completely unusable. Please revert back to the old UI!!!

Response from developer

It was overhauled to have a framework that moves beyond just the niche of census info - I agree it's worse right now in some ways if you focus solely on browsing census. That said, census subcategories will come back in, and the sorting algorithm will get very strong over time as more people use the app, as will search. You can also switch to the list view for faster scrolling. Also, some really interesting census layers were added, like ancestry, and are all updated to the latest census year, so census is still getting lots of love. The map, like other apps, will be dramatically slower the first time you load an area, because it doesn't use local cache. Be sure to send future suggestions along using the contact page too

Tremendously Useful

Don’t know why this app isn’t more popular, one of the best apps I have seen
