LG G3... App never initializes. Apparently there is an off screen message that needs attention. Sometimes you can see it in upper left corner. Dialog box that the user can't access completely.

Z70%
by Z####:

When I first got the app it ran and loaded properly and the info/data were useful. Now it won't even get past the initializing phase. Delete! update soon are risk losing the audience.... it's a samsuang glaxy 5 btw...

Same issue as everyone else, the app never finishes initializing. Sounds like a great concept, but it isn't usable.

There is a problem with this app. Downloaded to a Note 4 but it won't initialize. I will review again when the problem is fixed.

D70%

Grab an up-to-date snapshot or detailed look into all of the critical components America's economy...only downside to this app is its loading time and memory usage.

D70%
by D####:

Very simple to use. A good choice for the first data set to make available in a phone app. Hope the Census Bureau continues to enhance it and keep it 'phone-simple'.

D70%
by D####:

This app is exactly what I was looking for to help stay informed about the economy.

D70%
by D####:

It seems you already know this but could you please increase the speed of loading data when the app is opened? Waiting for almost a minute for data to load is sort of unacceptable.

W70%
by W####:

Excellent app conveniently providing key indicators.

K70%
by K####:

Not easy to navigate and find what your looking for quickly. I'm looking for statistics for a specific state and have yet to figure out how to do that. Please improve this app!

J70%
by J####:

I was honestly hoping for more overall stats, so in arguments and debates i can pull numbers right off my phone to sport me lol. Can't have it all, but fantastic. Please add more: divorce rates,per capita..

I70%
by I####:

The summary numbers are nice to browse through. But... it's really frustrating to see an app that doesn't follow *any* of the Android user interface guidelines get five-star ratings. I'm sure the U.S. Census bureau wanted to save development money, which yes ultimately is tax dollars, so they just ported their iPhone app using a cross-platform toolkit. But even so, couldn't they at least have put the settings and menu on the ActionBar? Or used UI fragments so there wouldn't be a need for separate phone and tablet apps? The whole point of the Android UI design is that one app can fit all devices. I even had to install the "phone" version on my Nexus 7, which is clearly a tablet. That's pretty inexcusable. This is a 1.0, and I'd happily rate higher if they'd actually give Android a bit more love here in the next few updates.

K70%
by K####:

The app itself is fabulous especially for small business owners, as it gives a no nonsense glimpse into the very confusing climate we now live in. Helps to have !

U70%
by U####:

After looking at so many economic stats every week it is easy to lose perspective of the big picture. Nice to be able to pull them together. Wish there was something to get other sources too

V70%
by V####:

Great app for us data geeks. Very easy to use!

D70%
by D####:

Very interesting. I love that they went Android first. This is good use of my tax dollars. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my MyTouch4G running experimental CM9, but I'm sure I'm a fringe case.

D70%
by D####:

Where is the consumer price index? Other than that glaring exception, pretty good.

D70%
by D####:

A little sluggish on a Galaxy S II LTE (Skyrocket), but this app rocks. The gov't at work!

D70%
by D####:

Andbslows the otherwise great app down

Led me to some valuable data.
