Crashes on startup

I've enjoyed using this app in the past, but this latest update crashes every time.
Great idea, needs refining

This is a great idea for the frequent traveller who wants to minimise jetlag. Unfortunately, it's difficult when scheduling trips because it doesn't automatically correct times zones. If you're in one timezone scheduling a trip between a second TZ and a third TZ, forget it.
Horrible usability
QuantumCadence
App doesn't give any instructions on what to do. It's totally useless. Sure it gives u a schedule about light exposure but doesn't tell u how long that exposure should be, how intense the light, and not to mention it would completely ruin ur sleep. Graphs and figures have little explanation. Clearly made by academics who don't really know how to translate their work into something workable for the general public. And that's coming from someone with 2 PhDs.
IT WORKS

This app is awesome and has helped me get over jet lag on several international trips. I've noticed a huge difference using it. I've gone from being nearly incapacitated for a week, to feeling mostly normal after 2 days Sometimes the schedule might tell you to do something weird -- listen to it, it's worth it!! Finally, a nice bonus is that this app is pretty to look at and easy to use.
One trip times continually changed

Entered one trip's details each time I opened the app a different time was stated 4 seek light seek dark. The original schedule was to end tomorrow. The app added another 5 days for no apparent reason and changed all the scheduling. Again no change in in out just random changes by the app each time you open it. Disappointed.
Fix the light scheduling nightmare

The new Entrain interface is a nightmare. I've been relying on the app for years to avoid jet lag during trips to Europe and Asia. As a token of gratitude, I always submitted data to the U Mich group. In the past, adjusting the light schedule was a breathe. Now it's a baffling horror, which must be fixed. If necessary, bring back the old version, but interface must be user friendly. Your fans and new users would appreciate it.
Notifications

Love how this app works. makes adjusting and avoiding jet lag a breeze. however, there needs to be an alarm or notification to let you know when to seek / avoid light. i have to set my own alarms
Glitchy and difficult to use
Smacks737283
I tried to use this to avoid jet lag on a trip with a 17 hour time difference. On the way out, the light suggestions were very challenging. The app wanted me to avoid light during all of my waking hours and had the “seek light” time for only a handful of hours while I was asleep. On the return they app became glitchy and kept changing the times to seek and avoid light by a few minutes or a few hours over the course of the day. It was so annoying. Then it added 5 days to the cycle on the last day and I gave up.
