Your (5*) iOS app reviews[1] are obviously astroturfing and written in terrible marketing-speak. No one speaks like that. It leaves me with a bad impression of your company.

Supposed comment from a real user "I firmly believe this product is a game changer." The attempted deception is insulting.

I have a weather company. We produce a buttload of hyper local , real time weather and road data. Gridcraft lets me stream this data in to an environment where I can quality check it, analyze it, and share analysis back with customers. There's more capability here than meets the eye.
Yeah this account isn't suspect at ALL.
Your free sample data on weathercloud.co returns a 404.
link being fixed. public API still in development. thanks.
Here are some of the features that set GridCraft apart from other spreadsheets:
1) Formula language is functional and supports reuse of user-defined functions. No need to use an external macro environment like VBA or AppScript to make reusable data transformations. https://gridcraft.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202808670-Cr...
2) Matrix projection / transformation language. Process any matrix value (data source, spreadsheet area, or output of a formula or user-defined function) using a powerful matrix transformation language. Formulaic ability to sort, select, project, and group. https://gridcraft.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203540234
3) Data connectors: connect to various cloud services as well as JDBC/SQL and pull data into your spreadsheet using formulas.
4) Tabular import: bring in tabular data (CSV, TSV) as a data source and manipulate it with the same projection / transformation formula language used for external SQL and cloud data.
5) Always-on / always-connected: functions like INTERVAL and NOTIFYIF allow periodic evaluation and push/email notification based on spreadsheet conditions.
6) Region-level ACLs and sharing. Share a specific region of a sheet, or share a whole sheet as read-only and a specific region as read-write.
7) Full audit/revision log with ability to revert.
