Once you have signed in, you will be presented with a dashboard like this:
Let’s discuss the sections:
Account Overview
This will show you the total number of apps you have, the number of apps running and the account plan. Currently there’s only one plan (ie Hobby).
Applications
This will show all your applications and their states. Apps have 4 States:
Running
Exited

Failed
The dashboard will also display how long an app was running or exited
You can also manage your apps by stopping, starting, updating and deleting them by pressing their respective buttons. See image below:
Viewing Logs
You can view the logs of an app by clicking the app name, you will be able to see two types of Logs:

Stack: Choose the appropriate stack of your application. You can request a stack to be added if it is not available.
Respository URL: Provide a link to the Github respository hosting your application.
Environmental variables: If your app needs environmental variables, you can place them here.
