Pros and cons of Economist World in Figures app for iPhone and iPad

Economist World in Figures app good for

Its a Good App, i like it a lot, but it would be great if the data would be more actual.
Very useful. Key success factor is actuality of figures. Now that these have been updated, I use it everyday.
I was expecting to be disappointed. Very good App. I have book too and it compares with it with additional features. Would be nice to have house prices and history. I am surprised with how good the app is. Navigation is excellent. Thanks.
Good app would like to see more graphing options and features. Helps when quick preparation for a discussion is needed.
The best thing I have on my iPhone, and iPad! Some statistics are not up-to-date, but still very, very, very good!
Very complete app in term of data and accesibilty (eg. You can share info by @); user friendly and the trivia (random info which pop up) is entertainment. Eventually better than OCSE app.

Some bad moments

I am sad to have paid for this as figures are from 2008 and greece still have a rather good deficit to GDP.... Useless
World in Figures 2011 shows figures from 2008. Misleading! Not worthy of the Economist.
Figures are outdated. No data vizualization to visually compare the results.
Data are old (2009), which makes it almost useless in a world that is changing so fast
A bit simple, especially the country data. You can produce charts for different countries and indicators and forward them by email. But its not possible to open the email link. Thats why only 2 stars.
Very disappointing. The subjects chosen seem random and are very incomplete (wheres house prices?). Not up to The Economists standards. A waste of $0.99. - back to google and Wikipedia, everyone.
