Excellent app

If you’re a geek who loves data and information, this app is it! So much data to discover. Worth what ever they charge for it.

Great for people doing solar

Has been an excellent app for people planning, installing, and managing solar power. I also use it when camping to be sure not to have the sun in my eyes when I get up! Thanks.

Impossible menu

I wanted to like this but is unusable. No way to enter my current location

Perfect, almost

No capacity to increase the font size. It’s pretty much impossible to read due the small font size.
I have to screenshot and zoom in. Please include this functionality in your next update.
