Really love this idea. It would be more interesting to kids if we could have some moving graphics, or real time info. I would also like a feature to see the historic power generation mix over previous years. It would also be good to get info on other countries so we can compare. To sum up it's a great idea, a work in progress but on the right path 👍🏽

Suggested improvements: • Allow items in 'Ranking' to be pop up info as per the map • Make 'When to use' over 24hrs, not 12. • Allow the pop-ins to be dismissed with the back button. • Picking the right area on 'Map' is surprisingly hit and miss, potential bug?

Fantastic app - thanks! Is it possible to run the forecast on a regional basis? Clearly lots of differences regionally, so this would be useful to know. Could you also set up alerts for users to know when carbon intensity moves in and out of high and low phases for your local area?

Great app. Please would you make the when to use regionsl, and forecast as far and with as much granularity as you can. I'd check that, as i check the weather forecast

Agree with others that without the 'When To Use' being region based (which it could derive from your postcode - even first three chars - like the web version) it's ineffective at forecasting when to run your appliances/charge your car. Strong offshore wind in NE/Scotland dragging down the national average doesn't tell those in South England when to plug in, as the Regional map makes clear. Checking back every few hours for live data is daft. Presumably the regional forecast data is in there.

A very cool idea for an app on a functional level. On a design level it's incredibly frustrating that the back button does not dismiss the info windows found throughout the app. Even the video in the "about" page is dead. Idea: 5/5 Implementation: 2/5
