Many changes have been made, but the key features of v2.0 include:
- Access to new data
2014 Egypt DHS Survey Information
Data is retrieved from the newly revised STATcompiler database through The DHS Program API. Basically, you are guaranteed access to the most recent data.
- Access to more indicators
Examples of new indicators.
The first version of the mobile app contained data on 24 indicators. With the update, you have access to 101 more – for a total of 125 indicators!
As long as you are connected to the internet, all data are immediately available. If you are offline, you can still access national level data for all indicators and background characteristics for the original 24 indicators.
For offline access to background characteristics of the 101 new indicators, you can download a specific country’s data package. This leads us to the next feature…
- Downloadable & customizable data packages
Downloading the full Peru data package.
You now have the option to download data packages of countries of your choosing. This way you gain access to the complete set of data while offline.
Once downloaded onto your device, it is available at all times. For example, say you download a data package at an internet café. Once you are offline, it will still be there until you clear it.
- New design & easy navigation
Sortable bar charts.
v2.0 is both visually appealing and user-friendly, from the ‘hamburger’ stack menu to the sortable bar charts of indicator data.
Download the new version and see it for yourself! We hope you love it as much as we do.
If you already have the app, your device will prompt you to update. Otherwise, you can download it below.
