FRED Economic Data

Appreciated for giving us such amazing app, download it means holding the macro in your own hand.

In this economic climate I’m surprised this app hasn’t exploded in popularIty. For example; The app allows me to quickly check long term employment trends to form an opinion.

An app that everyone needs

1. Full screen view of saved graphs often glitches and does not show full screen 2. Can only save and share as a low quality JPEG. Cannot export in multiple formats (PDF, Excel, ...) 3. Cannot view saved dashboards 5. Cannot use graphing editor tool

Using the search bar to look up data series is essentially non functional rendering the entire user experience moot

This is a very poor app. It is difficult to find data (among waves of lists), the app has crashed every time (seriously 100% of the time) that I’ve tried to use it, and it flips between landscape and portrait mode on its own and seemingly without reason. I deleted it after a few attempts. No point playing with this app. It’s the worst app I’ve ever encountered.

The search bar doesn’t narrow down the list of things you’re looking for. When I want to look for “home price,” it’ll read the “h” and start listing suggestions starting with h, but it doesn’t do anything with the rest of the search term. I just need the series names to call data into MATLAB, but the website is 10x better. Y’all need to fire whoever is developing the app and hire someone serious.

Brilliant vest of technology

Doesn’t update doesn’t work

Text is too small and inconsistently sized, chart captions are impossible to read on the home screen, and there’s a lot of wasted screen space in my iPhone 13 Pro with the bottom third of the screen being completely empty. I feel unhappy, overwhelmed, and lost trying to get information out of this app. It feels like it was designed on a computer then shrunk down to a mobile phone screen. The user interface is out of date and does not adapt to larger screens. It’s time to completely rethink your strategy for this app.
