What's New in Octopus Compare

2.8.0

July 28, 2026

INTELLIGENT OCTOPUS GO 6-HOUR CAP Day Breakdown now shows the smart-charge cap for Intelligent Octopus Go. Each half-hour bar splits into home and EV usage, separate Home and EV rate lines replace the blended line, and a note flags when the 6-hour cap was reached and how much charging was billed at the standard rate. USAGE PATTERNS PIE CHART Usage Patterns is now an interactive pie chart. Tap a slice to see the amount and time range for that part of the day, and switch between kWh and £ to see what each block actually costs. EXTEND TARIFF RATES (PRO) Pro members can extend a tariff’s published rates across the whole comparison period, so tariffs with limited rate data can still be compared over longer periods. REQUEST MISSING DATA Spotted a gap in your readings? Tap Request Missing Data on the dashboard to ask us to re-fetch those days from Octopus — anything available appears shortly after. BUG FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS • Fixed password reset links dead-ending with no way to set a new password • Comparison days with missing rate data now show N/A instead of £0.00 • Fixed custom date selection being off by one day during British Summer Time • Fixed the Day Breakdown header rendering under the status bar and notch • Fixed washed-out inactive tab bar icons in light mode • Rate colour threshold sliders now keep yellow ≤ orange ≤ red • Leaderboards now load correctly for first-time users • Fixed stale Agile rates and baseload data lingering in comparisons

Clunky and broken

Currently being pinged constantly to restore purchases and the app just feels a lot more clunky and slow.

Hanging on for legacy support

As of 9th May, still avoiding updating to V2. I have all the other tariff apps but this I use most which is why I pay premium version. I can’t email or contact support to ask how legacy version works once I update because I have to make an account now to do that - please would you advise on here? I don’t want to start the make account and all that might go with it.

I am desperately trying to avoid updating this app from the original version. I love the simplicity of the comparison page and I can just compare two tariffs that I’m interested in. I can honestly say I don’t want the app to be anything different from what it looks at the moment, for me that is , because I am on the legacy product and haven’t updated yet. I won’t update now if I can help it unless I do it by mistake until the legacy version is back and fully supported. Looking forward to that day.

Loved Version 1

As of April 17 this is such a step backwards in terms of working functionality, simplicity and clarity. As a long term subscriber are you really going to double the fee in return for a poorer experience?

Brilliant App

I use clear mode on iOS 26 for my icons to make the device less inviting to go on. Your app just shows as pure white and can be hard to tell what it is from a list. Could you fix this?

Improved and Useful

I wrote a review a while back giving the developer some criticism and I have to say all of it seems to have been addressed and the recent V2 is much improved!

If I could make some suggestions it would be to provide support for Shortcuts so that I can pull the cheapest hours and automate some smart home stuff. Otherwise a useful app and helps me be much more efficient. Far better than the Octopus app
