  • So much fun

    It is so much fun to watch your consumption and the expense of electricity versus gas. You will find that the assumption for gas is hi because they use premium fuel, and I never did. In any event it is an excellent app and gives you a lot of information that is very helpful.
  • Saving

    This keeps me on track! The savings are real!
  • Great app

    I just started using the app bu love being able to follow my home charging expense.
  • Does not show home charges

    Tried several times to see home charging information nothing ever showed up. Contacted support and was told to re install app. This was not successful. Terrible advertising.
  • A Tesla Must!!!

    The perfect app for Tesla owners with roommates. You can easily isolate your electric spend to make sure the roomies are not paying your charging costs! Easy to set up and use!
  • A must-have app to see home charging costs

    This is an amazing app that safely links to your Tesla and utility account to give a very detailed view of how much your are spending home charging your Tesla. The developer is also very responsive in addressing bugs as well. Highly recommended!
  • Crazy Phantom drain

    I don’t usually write a review here but I see this app with 4.8 stars which doesn’t reflect true to me. At first I liked the app and didn’t realize a phantom drain. Later on I easily noticed that this app was the cause of phantom drain. It killed the battery 3-7% a day easily. Now I disable the app the battery drains 0-1% in a week(I don’t drive the car for a week). I might not use the app properly or something but it’s not acceptable if the app create phantom drain.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for reaching out. Optiwatt should never cause additional phantom drain and will stop polling data when the vehicle is ready to naturally fall asleep (i.e sitting in your driveway). This ensures that car sleeps when it would normally so as not to cause any additional phantom drain. Please reach out to us at support@getoptiwatt.com and we can trouble shoot from there with you.
  • Missing One Thing

    For being a free app it’s actually not too bad at all.

    But the one thing I think it desperately needs is the ability to customize mpg and fuel costs for comparison sake. App currently defaults to a vehicle that gets more mpg than the previous vehicle I sold for my Tesla, and it miscalculates the cost of premium fuel per gallon (a good .50¢ below current fuel costs).

    Would really like to make an accurate comparison, being able to enter customizable fuel values (mpg and fuel costs) would be a tremendous help.

    Developer Response

    We do apologize for the gas rates being incorrect and we do have custom fuel choices along with custom comparison vehicles on our development road map. Reach our to our support team at Support@getoptiwatt.com to get your current fuel costs adjusted and we can email once those features go live.
  • Unreliable

    Unfortunately doesn’t work well. Charges 5 minutes into peak rate before it realised, or doesn’t start charging at all when peak ends. Has caused issues for a long journey due to no charge. Good support but not real fixes yet. Be cautious.
  • App glitches

    Great concept but when I open the app sometimes it is blank. Have to close completely and reopen.
