Stunning!

Can’t believe I hadn’t used this sooner. It’s so hard to find clear guidelines when you need it but this makes on calls and acute problems, as well as interpreting results, a breeze! Thanks.

New UI update is awful

Excellent app, used all throughout F1 and was a lifesaver. Old layout was so easy to navigate and quick to load of specific things but this new update with a list format is awful. Have to manually type in what I’m searching for or spend ages going down the list instead of just looking at the grid layout and clicking it. Please revert back!

This app's real strength was it's at-a-glance presentation with key management algorithms immediately accessible and since the last update this has been made less intuitive. Searching and favouriting is fine, but having algorithms front and centre ready to go as before was much faster. The addition of functional calculators is welcome however.
