Economic Data for Your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch

There is a vast universe of economic numbers out there. Right now this information is disorganized all over the internet and most of us do not have time to hunt down what we are looking for. Because of this, ordinary citizens, like you and me, are missing out on vital economic indicators relating to our jobs, our homes, our businesses, and our government.

Playlists of Economic Data:
To handle this overwhelming universe of data, EconApp introduces the concept of economic-data playlists. A playlist simply groups together some economic data that are similar to each other, to help inform you about a particular aspect of the economy. You can view data inside a playlist like a slideshow of tables or charts. To get you started, EconApp comes with several playlists aimed at a particular audience:
- Concerned Americans and Taxpayers: this playlist contains data on consumer debt, government debt, and government budget deficits
- Headline Economic Numbers: this playlist contains the major economic numbers that typically get reported on by the mainstream news media.
- The Job Market: this playlist contains data on unemployment claims, the unemployment rate, and discouraged workers.
- Homeowners and Homebuyers: this playlist contains home price index changes, new home sales, and mortgage rates.


Everybody's needs are different, so EconApp lets you make your own playlists. This solves your problem of searching for the same data series again and again every month. Furthermore, with a playlist, the next time you need a data update, the application knows exactly what you want to download. This is great if, for example, you want to download all your playlists' data at home (via WiFi), and then view the data offline (without a network connection) while on the road.

Searching for Economic Data:
If you already know what data you want, or just want to browse around, EconApp lets you easily search for economic data. The EconApp tool has classified the universe of economic indicators for you in several ways:
- Organized by Source
- Organized by Industry
- Organized by Indicator
- Organized by Geographic Location

You simply drill down a hierarchy to get to the data series you are looking for. You can also search for a data series by typing in a fragment of the name. EconApp lets you view economic data for the U.S. and other major countries around the world.
