Simply Amazing

This is a really nice app. So well constructed and simple. It provides just enough terminology explanation to be helpful yet not overwhelming. Everything is laid out well. In comparison to many of the other solar flare and CME apps that either want to scare the bejesus out of you or provide minimal info this app stands out as a real gem. It's Simple. It's Elegant. And it provides efficient, essential, timely, and accurate info delivery. I'm super pleased to have come across it in my search for solar flare and CME apps to help me evaluate effects of solar weather on body health and sleep quality. Well done Griffin Goodwin.

This rocks!!

The interface of this app is user friendly from the jump. It's easy to navigate and simple to understand, making solar flare forecasting an activity readily stored in my back pocket. My favorite feature is animation generator!
