I know I keep beating this drum, but each and every time I use the dashboard, I become a bit more disgruntled and a lose a bit more love for GHL.
Speed - (web or app) clearly an issue. Waiting 10-30 seconds for the dashboard to load EVERY TIME you open it is insanity. This is an eternity of spinning symbols.
Session/Cache issues - if you leave the IOS app open, then things get out of whack. You bring the app to the front and in most cases sections of the dashboard timeout and the app has to be quit and reloaded.
Fonts and colors - I wear glasses and still can't read much of the text on the screens. The background is white and many of the labels and data are presented in tiny fonts with low contrast colors. This is (honestly) inexcusable. Look at the image below and tell me that is readable! The temperatures on the left axis are certainly not due to contrast and the axis labels and key are tiny. iPad - just more whitespace and the same size fonts and low contrast. Actual image height should be about 5.5". Of course if you blow it up you can read it.
White space - the dashboard is riddled with whitespace, tiny fonts and useless information. The space could be far better used, with more data on the screen and larger fonts with more contrast.
Lighting panel - way too much space used to convey so little actual information.
Charting panel - fonts to small to read and if you have more than 2-3 trend lines, the chart breaks if you click on anything on web or app, mobile or desktop to zoom or toggle/highlight trends. Why ohh why is there no way to add multiple custom charts as needed. This panel is basically useless other than being able to see a general trend.
Switch channels - agian, tons of wasted space and redundant information. Also as a side not, instantaneous current draw, but there is not power history or graph.
Dosing Pumps - this actually is not too bad, but the bar graphs could be thinner and the fonts larger to allow better use of space. Things like "Dosing Pump 5" need not be spelled out and common nomenclature for ratios could be used to save more space

GHL - please get on with rebuilding this into a modern and useable interface or complete the API or give us back the self hosted page option ASAP. This dashboard is an albatross hanging around the neck of Profilux.
