Community Voice & Feedback
The information is helpful
I loved this app until recently, it just won’t open any more. Please fix it?
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
Outstanding
Thanks!
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.
I used to like it unfortunately it doesn’t work anymore
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
Been using it since 2009, and it has been great
