Key feature not available
I waited 6 months after this app changed before I updated. I figured given the option to go back to the Legacy view it would all be okay. Then I’d have the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, legacy view does not work for me and I have absolutely no idea why and The owner of the app says there’s no support for the legacy view anymore. Unfortunately, the legacy view just shows me a comparison between two of the same tariff and no matter what I do I can’t change that so instead of comparing my cosy tariff with agile tariff or something else to work out whether it’s really better for me to do this, I can’t . I used to really value being able to see which days of the week, at a glance, had been more expensive than the other tariff because then I could look at my behaviour and work out what I can do to change it if I was to change tariffs. So this new app does not give me what I want at all, and I’ve got no way of switching to the legacy app and making it work. Such a shame as I absolutely loved that app and I recommended it so many people - and unfortunately, we all find we have the same frustrations. Lots of great new features, but unfortunately not the one I want and I wish I’d not updated the app because the legacy view does not work.
Edit- think there must have been some sort of update as it’s clunky but I can get it to download different tariffs now . Given it an extra star
Edit as at 7/10 - legacy app back to being unuseable. Says there’s no data and to contact developer. It was fine before the latest update 🤦🏻♀️

Response from developer
We do have a Full Legacy Mode option as well as a Legacy View mode - have you found that? The Full Legacy Mode provides the same V1 functionality that it always had. However, we will not be supporting or updating the Legacy modes going forward though.
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

Behaves like an AI-generated mess
Looks like they used AI (claude code?) to rewrite this and turn it into a chunky horrible web-page style app that would work better on desktop and looks like all the other AI apps out there - lost its charm and individuality.
Consequently the date UX is underwhelming and has no ability to scroll back or forward. Every detailed page for a date is a pop up card that you have to dismiss in order to choose another date. Friction.
It has bugs in it - like when you select some comparison tariffs it can just silently ignore your selection.
Sometimes the comparison graph just won’t show.
It seems to be riddled with bugs such as buttons that stop working until you quit the app. And annoyingly you have to log in a lot.
The developers seem to have felt compelled to adds loads more “stuff” to the app in non-collapsible panels that deviates from its core USP of comparing tariffs. This creates a lot of text and info on the screen which is secondary but shouting for attention.
This has all the fingerprints of an AI mess, and IMHO a step backward in the name of looking prettier.

Unusable app!
Keep getting logged out every couple of days. When you try to look for rates for the next day it doesn’t default to your current selection or tariff that im on - keeps loading a 2024 tariff! You then have to select a completely different one, go back and select your true one again as the select bar is greyed out first time round. Awful update, unusable, and i wont be paying to renew for this. You had a great app that everyone was happy with… why change it!?
Update: log in issues seem to have been fixed.
BUT my tracker tariff has now completely disappeared!? (Sep 25) its now showing that April 25 is the most recent which is obviously incorrect.
Please fix asap as i cannot see my rates!

New version better than ever
I actually love the new version… Claude did a great job (the tip cards are the giveaway - same in so many Claude assisted apps) but that’s not a bad thing at all - big fan of using ai to assist with coding and the developers clearly know their stuff - I tried to do a Mac app for octopus and it’s not simple at all. Use this daily. Great insights.

All issues fixed
Update. Back working as it was maybe even better than the previous version!
So good to have clear information.

Glitch z?
When car is charging by pv it’s shown as smart charge . This needs sorting out
V2 sucks!
This version of the app is a perfect example of how to take a good product that works, update it & turn it into something completely rubbish!
Ever since updating to V2 I have to log in, at first this was every day, now it’s only every 2-3 days, so that’s progress I suppose!
Rates for tracker used to appear for the following day around 11am, now some days they don’t appear until almost midnight or even during the following day, despite refreshing the app the prices don’t appear.
Every time I go to the rates icon it automatically defaults to October 24 & is showing crazily low prices, when I look to change the tariff it says my current one is already selected (Sept 25). The only way to get it to actually display it correctly is to select a different tariff & then go back & deselect my current one.
The comparison screens are now pretty much useless compared to the old app.
While I appreciate the app needed to be updated to allow for more usage, V2 just sucks!
I cannot believe how much the app has been ruined in the name of progress. Time for me to delete this app.

Incorrect tracker information
The app is unable to retrieve tomorrow’s unit rate for the tracker plan, and the unit rate displayed for today appears to be incorrect.
Disappointing change
Against my better judgement of never update til forced I immediately found out why I do that, seems now you are forced to create an account now.
Guess this will be one less app on my phone now.

Keeps logging me out!
Some good features but the app continually logs me out between uses, and the new compare feature doesn’t work at all. The app takes ages to load data, doesn’t remember preferences properly, and the widget is poor compared to the previous version.
Very buggy new update
Still getting signed out every couple of days, despite responses on other reviews saying the latest update should have fixed this. Just doesn’t really seem like it was ready for release with all the reported bugs
Horrible now
App has been updated and it’s awful. Before it was simple and easy to see Now they have tried to make it flashy and it’s truly awful.
Big Changes
The app has recently been updated and what a change. I find it a much better experience and competes well with similar apps.
Lots of features and mostly for free rather than a lot being hidden away behind a subscription.
I might subscribe in the future but it has a very annoying problem that it is constantly signing my account out. Hopefully this bug will be fixed soon and I will use the app even more.

App Update Woes!
Since app update, unable to sign in and email sign in does not work! Unable to contact support as requires you to sign in to submit support ticket! Oxymoron! Will ask Apple for refund. Update: finally received a response and had to use my Apple account to sign in as reset password link still doesn’t work! Have upgraded rating but improvement still needed and has put me off re-subscribing in future!
