Ratings and reviews

Widget spends 95% of it's time "initialising" and not displaying anything, rendering it pointless. Rest of the app is ok but unfinished.

Been using this for years but recently updated to a new phone and it looks different. Some of the columns which used to be there (like the rolling 30 day average on the Daily Generation page) have gone, although more detail has appeared in the graph. Is there any way to get the lost columns back?

In the daily generation view, when I go back more than 40 days, it does not load any data. The loading symbol on top just keeps spinning forever. The same happens when I try to update the monthly generation view (which is not showing data for all months).

What's new
