Nice

Welcome screen was confusing with the big pervious button. It should be the get started button at the bottom.

Acceptable

The app works for me. Now will the grid hold up? That’s to be determined.

Nice resource for grid analysis

Love the real time fuel mix data. I had no idea Texas was generating so much wind and solar electricity.

Poor upgrade

The old app was better! It was an intuitive/native UI that felt slick and was easy to use. The new one is a significant downgrade.
