Stone Age App - Don’t Buy

It gives the impression of having Smart Meter integration - totalling misleading. It provides nothing to enable Smart Meter integration. Manually entering dats id from the 1980s - maybe before!

Useful

Had this app years, has been really useful over the years but especially useful over the last couple years to monitor energy usage more closely and keep on top of things

Rate settings

Graphics and tables are great. Only issue is when you change the rates of unit costs or conversions it changes all the previous table values.

Nice app - rate changes should be included in base price

I like the app so far, particularly the simplicity of setting up and dual rate economy 7 meters and entering the readings. Far better than other products where you have to setup separate meters and combine via a virtual meter. I’m a bit disappointed that you need to purchase an upgrade to handle rate changes. In today’s climate frequent rate hikes are a fact of life along with the necessity for supplier changes. I believe this feature should be factored into the base price - it is not “power user” imho.

Impossible to contact you

Love this App and have been using it since 2012 to monitor Electricity, Solar, Water and now Heat Pump. Graham - not sure if it is me but trying to contact you as you recommend just takes me around in a loop 😤 I have a question. Your App offers the facility to record two daily readings which I use for day and night rate electric. Now having a heatpump I have been recording power in and power out as Heatpumps use these data to measure efficiency (or lack of it 😄). Is there any way to show these two data lines on the same graph (not just the delta). This would give a easy to read visual picture of the heatpump efficiency (known as the COP). Many thanks.

Awesome app. Saved me losing ££s

If it wasn't for this app i wouldn't have noticed my faulty electric meter that would have cost me an extra £80 per month. Well thought out and very useful. Not over complicated. Nice to see an app made with attention to the end user.

Not Great

Everything is In pounds not the actual pence amounts kWh and measurements for energy are and the decimal points are everywhere O things like price per kwh and standing charges don’t make sense. Would actually like a refund but don’t know how to do that. Have already deleted the app

This app has saved me £’s

My energy supplier wanted £242 a month for electricity & gas . This app has helped me budget and keep track of what I’m spending on a daily/weekly/monthly basis . I spending under £100 a month now I don’t have the awful anxiety I did over switching the heating on as many people do in the UK now

Top rate app

I looked at and tried out a dozen other apps before I found this one. Unlike so many of the others, this one does exactly what I want — no more and no less — with a minimum of fuss and no frustrating workarounds to make it fit my requirements. Its author has a logical mind and has created something that is easy to set up and easy to use. It is really useful if you live in the UK and want to keep close tabs on the costs of your energy consumption. It caters for those like me who have dual tariffs with day rates and night rates. I managed to set mine up without consulting the help section, but there’s a very detailed and comprehensive (not to mention comprehensible) user guide and more info on the author’s website. How nice to find such a useful and well put together app.

Rubbish & complicated to use!!!!

I regret paying for this application but sometimes you have to learn the hard way and at a cost! I tried so many times but it’s too complicated to use unless you have a post graduate degree in nuclear fusion then don’t bother!! I am deleting at a loss! Lesson learned!!!
