" ...  In this day and age of mobile phone apps where user interface is everything, looking at the screen of the station is the equivalent of looking at a website from the 1990s. ... It's like using an old TV menu interface. ... Anyway, these guys should hire someone from a company like Uber or Lyft who have made the interface the top priority. ... Of course, you can just grab the data (it's in a text file) and pull it up yourself in whatever software you want (like Excel), but it's nice to be able to quickly explore the datasets with the software and this is brutally clunky.  ...  "
