Ratings and reviews

It was a good app until the update, responsive and intuitive, gave you information about every setting so you knew if you should enable it or not. New users have no idea what most of this stuff is, and for the car charger: " Slow charge, Normal, Fast " how do they work? For mine I have to switch off the car charger from the fuse every single time I want to make a change otherwise I hit the "Submit" button but nothing changes. Totally useless now

Pleasing design, lots of data, all looked promising, but only lasted 2 days. App was updated without notice or help on how to use the new format. Restarting the app, the phone, & even the modem made no difference. The app still had incorrect or missing data. Strangely, some of the DAY information appeared but nothing for MONTH, YEAR, or TOTAL. Uninstalling & reinstalling didn't help either. It looked promising at first but failed to meet expectations & the previous version isn't available.

They've made a few improvements since the major updates which makes it more usable. But can you please fix the graph so it's easier to read! At least change the import colour so you can distinguish it from the solar without having to turn one off at a time
