Disappointing

On Octopus Intelligent Go and was hoping for visibility of usage AND rates without having to wait for my monthly bill. This App just assumes the rate to be used based on the time of day consumed which does not reflect the actual DYNAMIC rate that Octopus may apply outside of the default cheap times. Hence, can’t see actual cost as rate is unreliable. Disappointing.

Fails to pick up gas tracker rates

I loaded this specifically to track my gas consumption and cost. Unfortunately it doesn’t pick up the fact I’m in a changing tracker rate - you can only enter a fixed price

Great app.

Does exactly what you want to check consumption & cost. My in-house meter does not distinguish between offpeak and dayrate this works perfectly giving exact daily cost.

Octopus outgoing

Good app works well with octopus usage data and all tariffs Need a app now to read outgoing agile gives kWh values but not cost but if your on agile then this is a good app Regards Stewart

No isage

Shows my usage as 0.00kEh every day. The tarrif it finds is correct but doesn’t show any usage?

Can’t get it to work

This app has given rise to endless frustration as I can’t get it to work

Brilliant app

Works perfectly, gives full insight to your use and average expected cost for the month.

Watt a waste of 99p

Could not log into octopus account and manual entry didn't work either.
Complete waste of time!
Shame on you App Store

Fantastic App

Shows daily usage better than the IHD (In Home Display), excellent for managing spend 👍🏼

Great app

Hi
My electric cost is showing as 50p per kw when it should be 33 p apart from that a great app

Mick

Best out ther

After trialling a few apps , found this to be the best by far , costing per half hour

Great App allows you keep you on track.

Super little app that keeps you in control of your energy spend. Simple to set up and use.
Would love if it followed our export usage as well.

Never shows Electricity cost

Not the greatest App. You have enter gas rates manually and never been able to load electricity rates from Octopus. My Bright App works fine and it’s free!!!

Excellent

Very good app. The developer Rob was very quick to reply to my queries. Thank you!

Very helpful app and simple to understand

I think this app is great. Helps me manage my energy use and keep and eye on my bills.

Very simple to set up and glad I downloaded. Highly recommend for Octopus Energy users who want to keep a tab on their energy use.

Excellent support

This is quite a simplistic looking app but it provides very valuable information. Given the uselessness of the in-home display you get with smart meters (mine has never shown the daily gas readings) this is a well laid out alternative.
When I noticed that the standing charge was wrong I submitted an email to tech support and Rob was back in contact within minutes, on a Saturday night, to look into it. Turned out that Octopus had changed the daily standing charge from 26.5p per day to an eye-watering 48p per day in the API data even though they’d not even told their customers yet. Having found the anomaly I expected that to be the end of it but the following day I got another email from Rob to say he’d fixed the issue and the data should revert back to its original state until the actual date of the increase, April Fools Day!!
Excellent service that is so often lacking these days. Keep up the good work

It’s great!

I use this every day - sad as it may seem! With energy prices on the increase I wanted a way of monitoring my daily usage of gas and electric. This app does just that. It’s helped me offset electricity usage onto the Go nighttime period. It also helps me keep on top of Octopus payments to make sure they’re not setting my direct debit too high.

My only suggestion for improvement is to have a graph that can track monthly usage (and have a line for the previous month for comparison).

good

Works fine, however it would be more useful if it stored more than the last 30 days i.e. monthly figures for the say the last 2 years.
