Could benefit from substantial improvements

In its present form this app is of marginal value. Would love to talk to someone from Bc Hydro about what I see as deficient and how it could be improved. In its present form I cannot recommend.

Stopped providing useful data

Was enjoying the app, but then it stopped providing/producing useful data on our solar production and our power consumption. Went from highly motivating and useful- to completely useless. Hopefully it can be fixed?

Unhelpful

Difficult to navigate. All I wanna know is how much I have prepaid on my account and I can’t even look it up on the app

Really Great

Works rock solid and even the odd hiccup the Powerley/BC Hydro team has been great. Helped monitor and lower our usage a lot!

Is the HydroHome app free to use?

Who is eligible to use the HydroHome app?
