Great concept but…

This is a phenomenal app concept. It can be used in so many ways to help so many different people. But at this point, the app shouldn’t be free. You can’t do anything without getting a premium subscription. Big inconvenience and I think this company is missing out on some great opportunities because of this.

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.

You can now see income brackets for free, and an annual subscription at a significant discount just went live. Most layers are still free, but some require an upgrade because we don't want to run ads. A lot of benefits come with the subscription

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!!!

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

Cool

If you like maps this is for you.

I really enjoyed the app and was straightforward to use. It has all of the data from the census bureau.

Fixed. Was probably due to a weak internet connection, so now there's feedback signaling that

Great app for many reasons!

This app visualizes US census data very well. There are literally hundreds of different filters and metrics you can apply and the entire United States is able to be seen down to the county. You can easily get lost learning in this app for hours. I will say that the app has no ads. It does offer a small micro transaction to unlock some of the features, however it is completely worth it. This app appears to be a startup of some sorts, and if you can support these developers I would.

Appreciate it! Correction though - you can drill down much more than county level though, especially in populated areas like New York County where the county is sliced into 1292 sub-geographies (census block groups being the base unit). Less true in the midwest and less populated areas though.
