Pros and cons of Solar Monitor app for iPhone and iPad

Solar Monitor app good for

Very nice App! Great images and very useful for my job. I would love to be able to choose which magnetometer station to monitor instead of just seeing the Boulder one. Im in Canada and there is a station near me!
Updated to 1.1, a few nice improvements including a speed improvement, but its still a bit slow to load. Other than that its a great app!
as said in other reviews, its a little sluggish but once it does load, lots of great information. Im just an enthusiast aurora chaser on the weekends, and dont know loads f how to read everything, but its easy enough to figure out. good information, great app.
Love how much detail this wonderful app provides. Information that I never even expected. Accurate and consistent. Highly recommend.
Awesome app for anyone who loves to watch the suns interaction with the earth!
This is a great app. I like to watch for auroras and this shows me all the data I need in one place. Kp index, aurora ovals, forecasts, solar info.... Lots of info!

Some bad moments

This app needs to be updated big time. Please update this app!!
I liked this app when I first purchased but it seems to have gone through a meltdown. Images have not updated for a week. There is no C2 telescopic image.
There is plenty of good info, but its poorly presented and a pain to navigate. The frames that are around all the displays are entirely unnecessary and only serve to block important info. Much of the info and pics are too small to interpret and the pinch and zoom is crippled by the stupid frames.
Execution of the app is very nice but very mediocre content compared to similar apps.
Tried to download at least two times. I get it to open to the first page but with nothing on it... Nothing but outlines of the different boxes. This is the only ap. That does this...Please fix
This app hasnt had an update in awhile and is not iOS 4.3 compatible. If you fall into the 4.3 realm then do not buy as this app as it will not load info when launched and usually crashes about 5 seconds after being launched. Use to be great prior to the 4.3 version of iOS. I never have had an app that doesnt function at this level and I dont believe app developers should profit from a non-functioning app. I am kind of shocked that apple has let this app continue in the app store. This is a warning for iOS 4.3 users. I cannot speak for any other iOS at the moment.
