Great app for interacting with Output data. Wide range of views. Love the integrated previous day data on the current day data. Author is easily contactable regarding suggestions and improvements.

Good sound little App Monitors my PV system and seems to work well, it's quick and robust. Easy to view current and historic data, plus summaries by day, week, month and year. It would be better if the daily weekly and monthly charts were histograms rather than line graphs, as per the PV output displays. But these niggles are only minor. Nice work.

Nice and useful data graphs, I particularly like the consumption one that shows me with different colors the TOU tariffs and solar. But why do grids use random values? Why not just draw lines at round numbers like 1kW rather than 1023W 🤔 And thanks for fixing that daylight savings bug 😋

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).
★★☆☆☆Jarom Hatch· May 6, 2018
The app crashes when I search for a team, and when it tries it must use a
ton of API calls to do it, it burned all 60 of my calls in only a few
attempts to search for a team.

Not ok since last two updates This app used to be great, but since the last two updates, retrieving data takes forever and the app has become overall unresponsive and very sluggish. Unusable like this. What a pity!
★★☆☆☆Mark Syms· Jan 24, 2017
Most recent change is drawing the text black on dark gray, not very helpful. Prior to this change it also seemed to take two or three refresh attempts to get the data to display. Can't tell if this is fixed due to the black on gray text issue.
