Minimal things you can do with the free version. I would pay a one time free for full access, but I don't need another subscription in my life.. the app has potential.

Only shows current day. Future dates locked.

It works but the estimation is wildly wrong typically estimates half of the actual generation. For example today it estimated 3kwh, I'm currently on 13kwh with a good few hours of daylight remaining.
