### 1/5 — Worst company to deal with

*2025-07-02, version 2.35.0*

When we moved in the made us go on a pay as you go smart meter because we didn’t pass their internal credit checks. We had just brought a house??  The thing never works we have to top up manually and now we can change I have to have new smart meters fitted first. Cannot wait to switch once it goes to monthly bills.

### 5/5 — Mrs p mcphee

*2025-07-02, version 2.35.0*

Been with British Gas for as long as I can remember. Had no problems at all, wouldn’t change. Thank you for ur service yous are the best x

### 5/5 — Handy app

*2025-06-29, version 2.35.0*

Works well can’t see the electricity on the main screen but hay ho it’s a gas’s app 😀

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-06-28, version 2.35.0*

An app as broken and useless as the business itself. I’m convinced the only reason it’s ever ‘updated’ is to erase the critical reviews of ‘old versions’. Don’t bother with a PIN, it forever asks you to renter your user name and password. When you get into it the data is either unavailable or incorrect. It’s even worse than the BG website - a pointless, soul destroying app to use.

### 1/5 — Basic, very Basic

*2025-06-27, version 2.35.0*

This is British Gas, top energy supplier and cannot offer an app to match their famous name. This is the app and the website. To name one issue, I have missed Peak Save because I’m unable to reach the page to activate or join the service. I’m unable to change my tariff, basically I use this app to prepay my energy. I guess that’s exactly what BG wants…

### 4/5 — Pay as go

*2025-06-26, version 2.35.0*

More expensive than a house on the mains

### 1/5 — Greedy

*2025-06-26, version 2.35.0*

Could keep prices low but takes profit over people ….App never syncs with smart meter and often top ups don’t land

### 4/5 — App

*2025-06-26, version 2.35.0*

Why doesn’t my money show up on the app for my electric balance

### 1/5 — Never updates balance on app

*2025-06-25, version 2.35.0*

App needs to show real time balaance

### 3/5 — App

*2025-06-25, version 2.35.0*

I love the pay as you go for gas and electric, but I Can never get an accurate balance on the app. Always displays zero.
