### 1/5 — Website transporter?

*2024-03-30, version 1.170*

Your company is at least a listed company. Why not spend some money to find a more professional company to make a decent program? This program feels like it just directly transports you to a webpage.

### 1/5 — The app need to improve to a better one!

*2024-03-24*

Can’t log in to the account what so ever, keep asking to create a new account, why you guys can’t upgrade the app??

### 1/5 — Outage map

*2023-12-13, version 1.170*

Outage map did not work during my outage. Directed me to social media app to get more info.

### 1/5 — First time ever bothering to write any review on an app in the App Store. It is that bad.

*2023-12-05, version 1.170*

Horrible app. Another electric company needs to come to Hawai’i and break up this company’s monopoly on electricity.

### 1/5 — Piece of garbage

*2023-10-03, version 1.170*

This is the worst app ever!!!
My username and password ARE correct when I enter them, but every time comes back with “ incorrect username or password “
I’m done with this junk. 
Deleted.

### 1/5 — App never works

*2023-09-07, version 1.170*

This has got to be the Worst App of all time. Logging in is never possible, and why doesn’t Hawaiian Electric improve on its errors? The purpose for this app is to assist their paying customers to access their account which the developers have made impossible. Fix it or don’t offer it.

### 1/5 — HECO

*2023-01-12, version 1.170*

Very bad company that parades as a good one.

### 1/5 — Where to start…

*2022-12-19, version 1.170*

1) the app doesn’t update every 15 minutes 
2) Phone doesn’t connect half of the time
3) y’all don’t even pick up the phone most of the time
4) No one bothers to FIX the electric problem
5) Why the heck is the prices so high anyways!? 
6) your app reflects your customer service! Crap!
The list goes on…

### 1/5 — Report outage by web

*2022-12-09, version 1.170*

Nothing happens.  Tried 3 times but just get a blank white screen making it impossible to report an outsge.  Still had to call it in.  Poorly structured app.

### 1/5 — Poor User Design

*2022-09-03, version 1.163*

HECO should invest in spending some time identifying the different types of persona’s - bill pay, outage reporting, billing history.    I abhor using apps that leave the customer stuck with no way back - for example billing history - once you see your bill, there no way to navigate back to the previous 12 bills.   Did I mention it’s slow, but then again it is island time appropriate.

### 1/5 — Unbelievably poor app

*2022-06-15, version 1.163*

What a shame that a company that provides such good and important service to the community cannot develop an app that is user friendly. I just spent 45 minutes trying to find out and pay my bill - and when I click on the pay your bill link it just keeps sending me back to the online registration page. After doing this several times I gave up. 
There’s a reason it doesn’t have but 2 1/2 stars. I just moved back to Hawaii from Arkansas and HELCO could learn a lot by seeing how Entergy created their app. Entergy’s app works easily. HELCO’s app does not. It’s almost like the developers at HELCO have not tested their own app.

### 1/5 — Unable to print or save bill using app

*2022-05-12, version 1.163*

Because the website’s customer service login portal is currently nonfunctional, I decided to use the app. I was able to login and see my bill but it does not allow for printing or saving to files (my preference). I’d hate to have to go back to paper bills.

### 1/5 — Typical HellCo

*2022-03-15, version 1.163*

Does not work,  can’t login, can’t see bill, have to re-enter my info every time. Registered my account but no way to get to it.

### 1/5 — Outage map?

*2022-02-24, version 1.163*

Your power outage map is a joke!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-15, version 2.1*

App doesn't work when there's an outage.

### 1/5 — Dumb dumbs

*2026-05-01, version 2.1*

Stupid s*€^*#Heads why don’t you and all the other stupid charge stations use credit/debit cards? What is your damage? Agenda? You idiots all have to have your own currency? Clowns. All of you CLOWNS.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-03-14, version 2.1*

There is less information than on the news.  The outage numbers are not accurate and there is no ETA on when power will be up.  Going into hour 13.

And, HECO said they knew power would go down at 2.  It went out at 6.  They didn’t post anything!!  We could have at least made dinner earlier if they would just post information!

### 1/5 — No biometric login

*2026-03-03, version 2.1*

Not really an app. Just a light box into the website

### 1/5 — App is trash

*2025-07-19, version 2.1*

App is trash and rarely works like this electric company

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing, Worst App on my Phone!

*2025-03-01, version 1.170*

Everytime I log in, it brings me back to the login screen. Then after many attempts, I can finally view my electric bill. But also, it is suuuuper slow and lagging almost always. The worst!!! DO BETTER HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC!!!

### 1/5 — Very bad app

*2025-02-24, version 1.170*

Can’t seem to login to the app but the same credentials can let me login with a web browser instead.

### 1/5 — Not really an app. Also, no face unlock

*2025-02-23, version 1.170*

Garbage

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2024-11-14, version 1.170*

It’s a shame they would make an app for it to not serve its purpose. I got the app to pay my bill from the app and it doesn’t allow you to. I guess the only other options of payment is online with a third party but for a commercial business they charge a $45 processing fee but If you’re residential it’s $3?? Make it make sense! It’s the same electric we’re using. So now I have to go and pay in person bc it seems like that’s the only option to save me from paying that scam of $45. Wish I could give no stars. What a waste of time and money! Get it together HECO, it’s about to be 2025. Get with the times😤

### 1/5 — Virtually useless.

*2024-08-27, version 1.170*

The app is poorly designed with minimal functionality. The “Report an outage” icon only brings up an option to call.  There is no in-app functionality to report outages. It’s like we’re living 20 years behind the times.

### 5/5 — This app rocks!

*2025-02-27, version 1.170*

I use this instead of google maps! ;)

### 5/5 — App was helpful during power outage

*2024-08-28, version 1.170*

The app was great to have when we lost our power. The website didn’t load the outage map but the app kept us informed on when to expect a return of our power.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-08-15*

Greatest failure

### 4/5 — Nicer than android app

*2018-10-09, version 1.12*

I wasn’t a fan of the app on Android system but I had recently switched over to iOS and this app looks nicer all together. However the payment system is still kind of funky regardless of operating system

### 3/5 — Login issues

*2018-08-11, version 1.10*

I love being able to see my bill and be able to pay it on my phone. I just get really annoyed at the fact that if you press the back arrow it’ll make you re-login to your account. I just tried to do something with autopay and had to log in 5 different times. Wish it came with a finger print authorization or even just a remember me option. Its my phone, and my account so it’d be nice if it just kept me logged in all the time or at least only ask for my login info once every 20-30 minutes.

### 2/5 — Outage Map FAIL

*2024-07-31, version 1.170*

Most of the time the outage doesn’t match the online version. They are trying to hide the number of outages they actually have.

### 2/5 — App

*2023-11-30, version 1.170*

Outage map not working
