iPhone Economy app now the #1 paid app in the Finance category
July 30, 2009Terrific news tonight (Thursday, 7/30), our iPhone Economy app is now the #1 paid app in the “Finance” category. This is a remarkable achivement for the app and I’d like to thank all users who’ve tried out the app and helped make this a popular app.
The iPhone Economy app was released on July 4 and it got to the 4th place (in “Finance” ) within a week after release. We have received a number of emails from users and most of them said they loved the app. Many (though not all) feature requests/suggestions from our users will be implemented in our 1.1 release. The 1.1 version is due to be released in the first half of August.
http://CascadeSoft.net/Economy.aspx has more details on the app and the app can be downloaded from the app store.
Incidentally, the iPhone Economy app is the 4th app from Cascade Software Corporation.
It is also the second #1 app from Cascade Software Corporation. Last year, our first app (the iPhone Election app) was – at one time – the #1 paid app in the “News” category.

User Review: Government Spending app
May 1, 2009While talking about TV coverage of the app, I had mentioned that writing the iPhone “Government Spending” app was a lot of fun.
I also enjoyed reading the first review on iTunes. Here is what the reviewer said about the app.
‘Wow is this an eye-opener! No opinions here, just the facts. Straight information from the government’s own databases on who’s been getting federal contracts, and for what since 2000. You can look it up by department, by state or even by item – which makes for some very interesting browsing.
Try looking up ‘land mines’, for instance, and you’ll see a sharp escalation in 2008. What’s the story behind that ??
And that, in a nutshell, is what you get from this very handy app: the straight story on what the government has been buying with your tax dollars. This is one reference app that will actually raise more questions than it answers – as well it should. Kudos to the developers for a nice job in putting this information into a format that’s easy (and fun) to explore.’
