It would be great if this could be added as a Home Assistant integration. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-09-25* This is one of the best almost live apps I have found. Any chance the refresh rate can be changed from 10 to 1 second. This would make it even better. Thanks for creating. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-01-03* Great app, so much better for visualisation than the standard GE app. ### 5/5 — Inverter readings *2024-05-17, version 1.20a* I love this app. Been using for one year now. So simple to view and assess your solar, battery levels, with cumulative totals. Recommend you download or too. I use with givenergy system with battery. ### 5/5 — Addictive and very useful *2024-03-03* I’ve had this app for a couple of weeks ago and I refer to it all the time. It seems far more accurate than the stock GE app and much more responsive. I hope that in the future this app can be developed to include an element of solar forecasting with a way to automatically decide the required SOC for the following days usage. I would pay for that! ### 5/5 — More accurate than the GivEnergy app *2024-02-13, version 1.20a* Faster, more reactive and more accurate than the native GivEnergy app. Quality! It would be great if this could be added as a Home Assistant integration. ### 5/5 — Hypnotic *2024-01-19* I have this app running permanently on an old repurposed iPad that sits on the sideboard. It's so useful to just glance at the display without taking my phone out and opening the Givenergy app. The reason I say Hypnotic is the constant moving of the power flow lines and almost real time monitoring, a bit like when you get distracted watching the washing machine cycle! A wonderful app, many thanks to the developer. ### 5/5 — Nice simple way of seeing what your inverters are doing *2023-08-15* I use this alongside the GivEnergy app to see more precisely what my inverters are doing. You have to be on the same network as the inverters as it makes a local connection, but other than that limitation its super-easy and effective to use ### 5/5 — Simple but comprehensive *2023-02-28* This app just works with our two Givenergy inverters. It’s reliable, easy to understand and just works. Nice job. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Great simple but effective app *2023-01-19* Stumbled over this app and now I use it instead of the Giv app. It’s just faster and simpler. Thank you for making it available. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Continually failing *2023-09-03* This has been my go to app for my AC 8.2kWh GivEnergy battery. However in the last month it now fails to find the inverter on a regular basis and it is just random. The IP address has never changed. I have deleted and re installed it 3 times in the last 2 weeks. It’s currently working great after another delete and re install no idea for how long it will last this time. ### 3/5 — Lacks some usability *2024-01-15* Great when it works, but sometimes doesn't connect, so you have to re-enter the inverter's IP address. But there's no way of accessing settings, so you have to delete the app entirely, redownload it and then enter the IP address again. **Developer response:** You don't need to delete the app. See the web page for details: https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/inverter/ ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2026-07-03* As I (still !!) can’t get the GivEnergy app to work as it should I tried this clever and simple little app. It does exactly what it says in the description. ### 5/5 — Superb. *2026-07-02* Couldn’t do without this app. It shows just the information needed and the flow of power. And what a delight to see a certain BBC Basic connection. THANK YOU ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-06-25* Wow, after all the kaffuffle with GivEnery’s subscription app. What a breath of fresh air this is. Easy to understand and even easier to use. Set charging and discharge easily. Shows me what I need and want to know. Thank you very much. I’d give it 6 stars if I could 🥳 ### 5/5 — Top Notch *2026-05-29* This app is a perfect example of how less is often more. All relevant information is clearly and simply laid out, given the complete mess the give energy app now is this is such a gift to have, thank you Richard for your work. ### 5/5 — be amazing to see individual battery data *2026-05-28* thanks for creating ### 5/5 — Steve B *2026-05-26* Amazing simple software! Just love it!! Thanks Richard :) ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-05-08* What a nice simple App that just works with no drama ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-05-02* I’ve had this app as an alternative for a while it’s excellent meets my needs comprehensive but simple plus it’s free I’m not easily pleased so credit where credit is due to the developer ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-04-30* Using on my giv set up, and I’m so pleased !
