## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Was a great app

*2025-09-10, version 1.2.3*

I used to love this app, but I doesn’t work anymore. The unlock access screen doesn’t disappear anymore. I’m still subscribed to it, right up to July 26. It’s such a shame 😔

### 1/5 — Suddenly gone paid only even though shows as free on the App Store

*2024-05-23, version 1.2.3*

Entire app no locked behind a subscription paywall

### 1/5 — Used to be good but is now completely non-functional without a subscription

*2024-05-23, version 1.2.3*

The last update seems to have added a message blocking all use unless you subscribe. I don’t mind buying an app but the subscription is just not worth it.

### 1/5 — Forced to make a subscription after entering API key details, no way to remove

*2024-05-22, version 1.2.3*

Pretty shady by the developer to allow you to input all your details before dropping an immediate paywall. Will be reporting to App Store unless Dev gets in touch to resolve

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work after the latest update

*2024-01-30, version 1.1.1*

Please check if any changes that broken the API ?

### 1/5 — Won’t save credentials

*2024-01-04, version 1.0.10*

The app constantly spins when entering credentials and hitting save so doesn’t really work.

### 2/5 — Doesn't work after update

*2024-04-08, version 1.2.1*

Won't let me login with email or API key

### 2/5 — Looks a good app

*2024-01-24, version 1.0.10*

Thought I’d give this a go but can’t see the tracker Dec 23 tariffs so I can’t use.

### 2/5 — Needs some work

*2023-10-18, version 1.0.10*

Entered my credentials, saved details and restarted app. However, it still shows the wrong rates when compared to what the Octopus 🐙 app shows for me.

### 3/5 — Love the app but not working after the latest update

*2024-05-01, version 1.2.1*

Can’t load my plan / prices after updating to the latest version

Updated the app to newest version but still not working…..

### 5/5 — Further further Update

*2024-04-07, version 1.2.1*

An earlier update and/or April change to the tariff meat that the app cannot display prices and the watch complication no longer worked.  Now we are in to April the latest change allowed me to update my tariff and display the agile rates on the phone widget. The watch complication didn’t work at first but later that restarted so all fixed now. Thanks for being responsive on this and fixes great app!  Best one I’ve found for the Octopus

### 5/5 — Incredibly useful application

*2023-11-03, version 1.0.10*

This app has genuinely made a significant impact on my electricity bills. Since I started using it, I've noticed a decrease in my monthly payments. 

The app is user-friendly and provides useful insights on how to reduce my energy costs. It's not just good for my wallet but for the environment too. 

Highly recommend to anyone looking to cut down on energy costs!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend this App

*2023-10-14, version 1.0.8*

This app has changed my life and saved a lot of money. I monitor electricity prices at all times. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Simply superb

*2023-09-30, version 1.0.4*

Octopus Energy Mate is truly fantastic! It's incredibly user-friendly, making it a breeze to manage your energy consumption. Plus, it's a money-saving gem. Highly recommend! ⚡💰👍

### 5/5 — Highly recommend!

*2023-09-25, version 1.0.2*

Very useful app with very little memory! It can display the electricity rate of the day directly on the screen. Supper convenient!! Would like to recommend it to my family and friends! :)

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2023-09-24, version 1.0*

This app enables my family to find the minimum rate to do house chores. We set timer for appliance such as dish washer and wash machine to run during low-rate period. It has cut our electricity bill by HALF!

### 3/5 — Cannot use after update in April

*2024-04-12, version 1.2.1*

Used to find it very helpful. But there seemed to be some updates and I cannot even open the app now. :(
