Also able to get a rough estimate on earnings. It would be perfect if a feature could be added to specify export and import prices for different time periods due to tariff types ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2025-07-01, version 2.90* This app gives so much information and is broader than the Fox app. Thanks Al for great work! ### 5/5 — Great Spp *2025-06-22, version 2.89* Great App and my “go to” rather than the Fox one. The only thing I’d mention is that when calculating savings etc. there does not seem to be a way to enter two different import tariff prices, for different times of the day. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-04-02, version 2.82* Love the app. Only request if it’s possible is to provide the option to configure two tariff rates. Day rate and night rate. This shall allow the cost projections to be more accurate. ### 5/5 — Much better than the official app *2025-03-29, version 2.81* Energy Stats is so much better than the official app which is limited in functionality and has strange confusing language. This app even helped me identify a problem with my install which would probably have gone unnoticed using just the official app and website. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-03-25, version 2.80* Great App and great support in thr FB Groups. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Cool App *2025-03-20, version 2.79* The maker is cool, even put an update when Fox had broken their API ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-02-09, version 2.73* I was getting so frustrated with the Fox app. I have only use it for about 5minutes but already love the fact I can modify how I see the data. For example being able to select whether I want to see the power in watts or kilowatts. Also love the estimated battery time remaining. Also the fact this app actually shows me which way the power is flowing with -ve and +ve power numbers. So far I love it great job ### 5/5 — Great Spp *2025-01-29, version 2.73* Great App and my “go to” rather than the Fox one. The only thing I’d mention is that when calculating savings etc. there does not seem to be a way to enter two different import tariff prices, for different times of the day. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-01-22, version 2.73* Great app, so much easier to use than fox app ### 5/5 — Works on Apple Watch *2025-01-17, version 2.73* Excellent app works on my iPhone and Apple Watch bet than the fox ess app Thank you ### 5/5 — The Simple Alternative to the Over complex Fox app *2024-12-08, version 2.71* Finally! A solution that gives a quick and effective overview of my Fox inverter without ‘baggage’ and without me having to spin up a Home Assistant custom solution. On my KH8 it works brilliantly and I love the fact that I can display ‘available’ battery based on the bottom SOC limit rather than the total battery size. So much easier for the rest of the family to understand. Nice work. ### 5/5 — Lots of information for me. *2024-11-04, version 2.65* I’m not a techie at all so some of the information is a bit beyond my requirements, but I do like the app as it’s straightforward to understand and take on board. For what I use the app for it is easy to work with so I do recommend it. Plus, it also has the added bonus of generally keeping going when the Fox app goes down. Only quirk I find is the variation of battery and inverter temperatures between this and Fox ESS app - which is the closer I wonder?? ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-10-07, version 2.55* Very good customisation and clear visual information ### 5/5 — Great app for FoxESS owners. *2024-09-08, version 2.49* This is a great app. As others have said, it is much clearer than the official FoxESS app. I also love the fact that I can also have it as a complication on my Apple Watch. Just one press and I can get an instant ‘snap shot’ of what everything is doing! Fantastic work. Well worthy of 5 stars! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2025-09-15, version 2.98* Got gradually worse over time. Disappointing as I can’t even log in with my API anymore. Keeps showing bad credentials. ### 1/5 — Energy Statsapp *2023-04-23, version 1.13* Minus 100 no help what’s so every ### 2/5 — Good when it works *2026-01-16, version 2.114* Most of the time the app gets updated it breaks the app somehow ### 3/5 — Better than the Fox Cloud app *2023-04-11, version 1.11* I was glad to find this as the Fox app is disappointingly bad. This one has a better real-time visualisation although flows could be shown clearer. My only problem is that the graph view displays too high on the screen so is not completely visible.maybe this is a version thing - now iOS16? It’s a problem in both portrait and landscape views - I have some “spare” space at the bottom of the screen but it’s cut-off at the top. ### 4/5 — The only place to charge *2026-02-26, version 2.122* After searching for hours to find how to change my battery, with no help from customer services or installation company I found this app. Like the graphics showing what is happening more than the Fox house! My only complaint is that I have to keep on setting up the charging schedule as it gets wiped out for no love nor reason but not in in any consistent or logical way. ### 4/5 — Scheduler throwing error *2025-09-08, version 2.98* While activating scheduler throwing error. Can this be sorted ### 4/5 — Better than Fox’s *2024-10-04, version 2.55* Good app. Very functional. ### 4/5 — Hardly works these days *2024-06-27, version 2.37* This was the perfect app to monitor my fox ess solar panel, inverter and battery installation - provided clear and accurate information whenever you needed it. Sadly, it now seems to time out more often than not, unless you check at off-peak times, as in during the night or very early morning. I can only think it is now over subscribed and people are eager to view their data ### 4/5 — Straightforward *2023-04-25, version 1.13* Easy to read/understand ### 5/5 — Better than main app *2026-07-03, version 2.142* As others, this app is so much easier to navigate and use compared Fox own app ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Keeps getting better *2026-06-20, version 2.142* This apps keeps getting better with every update. So much useful info provided. Keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Clear and easy to use *2026-05-26, version 2.136* I have been using a FoxESS based 6KW system for 2 years now and this app is better than the one supplied by the manufacturer. It is clear and easy to use and gives me the level of control I want. Thoroughly recommended. ### 5/5 — Clever developer *2026-04-22, version 2.131* This app allowed me to schedule my Fox ESS battery, something that the Fox app and website could not do. The instructions to set up the app with the API were clear and helpful. Thankyou ### 5/5 — Power per string *2026-04-11, version 2.130* Great app, I can see how much it string of panels produce now. Thank you. ### 5/5 — New update *2026-04-03, version 2.130* I love the new update and I appreciate all the work you do and you’re responding to the old fogies to try and give options for the original version again Thank you for your professionalism. I tell everybody about your app that use SOLAR ### 5/5 — Apple Watch *2026-03-18, version 2.128* Cannot get it to display any information at all on Apple Watch, last page just sits there with loading…… Tried running the app on iPhone and checking and still nothing. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-02-13, version 2.120* Does what it says, much better and easier infographics to understand the energy flow and its impact. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-12-22, version 2.112* A great and easy app to use, much more intuitive than the FoxEss app. It’s my go to app for my solar kit. ### 5/5 — Much better than the official app *2025-09-11, version 2.98* Energy Stats is so much better than the official app which is limited in functionality and has strange confusing language. This app even helped me identify a problem with my install which would probably have gone unnoticed using just the official app and website. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
