Don’t bother with this , worst part is you pay for it and cant get money back . App is junk and wouldn’t be worth it if it were free . Can’t get ahold of anyone for refund so stuck with junk. Bad business model

I love data and being able to view data. I would give 5-stars if the App didn’t crash on my iPad. It works on iPhone.

In addition to the comment about more recent data bring needed, I miss how there was much more historical data in early editions of this app. Would like the option to go back in time to the earliest data points no matter how old they are.

Have enjoyed this app over many years, and I’m grateful there’s still some support.

Reason I bought was because of how much data it had available. Could use an update into 2020

Extremely useful and fast data source for a broad and relatively deep range of economic data. Love it.

This is a helpful App, allowing someone to keep up with broad economics trends by just using to 1 App.

I have been using this app for 7 years now and look at it nearly everyday.

Nice app, but can be a little misleading for some statistics if viewed by party in control of presidency. Need a view to show which party held the House of Representatives ... a more reliable causal relationship for certain economic statistics.

Just missing a chart on margin debt of equities.

Lots of interesting data not easily available elsewhere.
