How much electricity will I consume this year? What is the difference in heating costs between winter and summer? How much water does my household use per week? How long will the level of my oil tank last? If you can not answer such or similar questions then EnergyControl is your app! *** Simple and Intuitive You do not need to make complicated settings - everything is simple and easy to understand. You have already recorded some meter readings? No problem - import your csv file and off you go. *** Flexible meters You can manage as many meters as you like. Each meter is configurable as you need it - for electricity, oil, gas, water and much more. With virtual meters you can join two meters and evaluate them in combination. If you want, you can give each meter its own color, so you can find it quickly. Entered meter data can be exported to a CSV file at any time. *** Consumption Analysis Analyze your consumption and costs with clear tables and charts. You can view the data in weeks, months, quarters or years. Intelligent forecasts tell you what costs you have to expect in the whole year or how long your fuel tank will last. *** Fast Meter Input With a swipe to the right in the overview you can enter a meter reading without annoying detour. The current meter reading is estimated and preset, so you often have to make only minimal adjustments. *** Cost Management You can manage the costs for each meter. The costs change to January? No problem. Just enter the new contract with the start date and the data will be calculated correctly. *** Free & Ad Free You can download and use EnergyControl completely for free. ## Key features - Flexible meter management for various utilities - Consumption analysis with charts and tables - Intelligent cost and consumption forecasts - Fast meter reading input with estimation - Cost management with contract date tracking - CSV import and export of meter data ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | EnergyControl Premium | $3.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 29) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/energycontrol/id1478467447/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Hilfreich *2024-10-25* Die App ist leicht zu bedienen und sehr übersichtlich gestaltet. ### 1/5 — Import fails with no explanation *2024-08-10, version 1.4.2* Imported electric CSV file - 2 columns, date/reading - no problem Tried same with gas csv file. Failed with no explanation. So impossible to “fix”. For me unusable as I’m not going to enter the stat manually. ### 5/5 — Gut gemacht, besser als der Rest *2024-02-12* Reicht vollkommen aus, Übersichtlich. Am Anfang schwer zu erkennen, wo die Kosten hinterlegt und im Nachhinein wieder geändert werden können, aber nach kurzer rumspielerei alles gut zu finden. Variable Verträge können Laufzeitgenau hinterlegt werden, Fixe monatliche Kosten auch. Bonus kann noch nicht hinterlegt werden. In Summe—> Hätte ich früher entdecken sollen ;) An sich 4 Sterne, da kostenlos gibt es 5 ### 1/5 — Something wrong… *2024-02-08, version 1.4.2* It’s 8 days into Feb and all my readings are showing as week 5 of Jan… And when I toggle to monthly graphs, everything is still cumulating against January only - Feb is still greyed out! 🤷‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Sehr gut! *2024-02-03* Finde die APP sehr gut und übersichtlich. Allerdings habe ich schon zwei Fragen wie Mail gestellt aber nie Rückmeldung erhalten. ### 5/5 — Very good ! *2024-01-02* Using it for 1 year and it perfectly matchs my need. Just one bug to solve : I have created a virtual meter by simply adding 2 separated electric meters. On this virtual meter, The graph with bars for each year does not show the estimated value for the coming period. ### 5/5 — Einfach zu bedienen *2023-03-30* Tut was sie soll, übersichtlich und einfach zu bedienen! ### 5/5 — Really impressed by this app *2023-03-02, version 1.3.8* Having used a couple of paid alternatives I am very impressed by this app. It offers the virtual meter feature which is useful for handling economy 7 setups in the UK. The cost management features are simple to use and I like the way it predicts future meter reading entries. Entering meter readings is intuitive and simple. The reports produced are great. 5 stars all around. I wish I’d found this app sooner. ### 5/5 — Clara, concreta y precisa. *2023-02-07* Sencilla, flexible e intuitiva. Me gusta. ### 5/5 — Sehr hilfreiche App! *2023-01-29* Ich finde die App sehr gut. Sie ist übersichtlich gestaltet und erfüllt funktional genau das wonach ich gesucht habe. Nur ein kleine Sache fehlt mir noch. Mit den virtuellen Zählern ist es möglich zwei physische Zähler zu einem Zähler zusammenzufassen. Hier wäre es schön, wenn man nicht auf zwei Zähler begrenzt wäre. In meinem Fall würde ich gerne drei Kaltwasserzähler zu einem Kaltwasserzähler zusammenfassen. ## Frequently asked questions about EnergyControl ### What does EnergyControl do?
