Needs filters to be useful but otherwise very cool.

Thanks for the feedback. If you click on the magnifying glass in each column header you'll get a filter for that column.
Wouldn't a filter icon be more obvious?
What do you mean by filter icon?
For filter icons usually a funnel is used:

Magnifying glasses typically represent search.

I think the magnifying glass is perfectly acceptable here. I think the "filter" icon is much less recognizable to the majority of users. (case in point, the author of the app hasn't heard of it).
A funnel gives me precisely the opposite connotations as filtering.
