2. Graphs to track economic indicators across many different time ranges (e.g. 1 year, 3 years, ...,40 years etc.)
3. Graphs that track the values of economic indicators across Democratic and Republican presidencies and across Recession periods over the past several decades.
4. All indicators updated soon after the govt numbers are published. (Most indicators updated monthly, others quarterly, annually, daily or weekly)

Complete list of indicators (national,state, trade/exchange rate with Canada, Mexico) displayed by the app is on http://CascadeSoft.net/EconomyList.aspx.
