Needs Landscape Mode
Doesn’t seemed to have had any decent GUI updates made for years.. How about having a version for landscape mode. I monitor it on an Ipad and not a phone and hence needing to continually rotate my Ipad is ridiculous..
Update needed to Tarrifs
Hi Team, can you update your tariff selection to include the new 3 hour free periods provided by United Energy in VIC…or allow a custom time of use?
Requires more flexible tariff configuration
The data relating to the energy consumption will be useful but the tariffs on a time of use meter (in Australia) have 3 rates (shoulder & off-peak) and even when selecting my retailer there isn’t alignment to the suppliers time for the peak/off-peak where it has peak rates on a weekend in the app but the shoulder rate (which is all day) is a few cents above the off-peak and roughly half of the peak.

App fails to pair
The app fails to pair on either Apple or Android even after the promised update. Comes up with error 403 message. This makes Powerpal totally useless.
Not Working
Spent hours trying to get this to work. Sent all files to support, seems a known issue with Apple and no idea of fix yet - so currently its a paper weight on my electric meter.
Currently doesn’t work
Purchased and hasn’t worked. Just throws an error 403. Apparently according to the tech team (that you can no longer reach via phone, only email) there is ‘issues’ with iOS. Starting to feel like a waste of $130 to me.
If it starts to work in the future I’m happy to update my review.

Unable to update
Got a replacement unit and now unable to setup as it requires a update, getting a error running latest ios 26.2
Complete trash
First time to open the app, prompts you to force and update which you can’t skip, cancel or go back, then the update can even download so your stuck on the update screen and can’t move. Complete trash developers and woeful app.
Working not working
Have you updated the app. Must be because your app no longer works
Newest update is a disaster
Updated both the actual Powerpal firmware as it wouldn’t give me any option to not update it and it completely wrecked the reading even though it had been fine since I got it. Had to turn up the LED sensitivity 3 more notches from default for some unexplained reason and any higher and it thinks I’m pulling 4+kW’s and any lower just slowly goes down to reading 0kW’s after about 20 seconds.
Then throw in this update which ruins using any other device with the remote connection as it says it can’t connect to the Powerpal.. well DUH! That’s why I have the option set as being ‘remote connection’ but it completely ignores that when I run the actual Bluetooth connection to an old iPad which I won’t be updating the app with as will then go back to square one.
Really not a good update for either the app or the firmware with this one!!

Power usage data
Updated the app and now all my data is gone, can see back to December 2024, pretty useless for anyone that want to compare how power they are using for same month 12 months or so ago
App crashing
App crashes after entering pairing code, app is not usable
Great little app to track my usage
It’s a good tool to see my usage and spend
Could be better
Only measures one Tarif split up to for times.
No controlled load, it’s calendar months so can’t match my retail dates for bill comparisons.
Not the best app, missing simple things but it’s better than retailers.

Disconnects a lot
Disconnects from Bluetooth even when next to meter, tired of it all going to,disconnect, majority of providers apps now have same use data as this
Mr.
The app seems to work well, providing I’m close to the transmitter.
Zero flexibility on ToU time settings
Powerpal is hard coded as 10-3 for solar sponge in SA.
Solar sponge for SA is now 10am-4pm which means rates are out by more than 2.5x meaning everything is completely out of whack.
The cost estimator for the day and for that hour are now significantly out. No longer useful for the 30% of South Australians on ToU.

Best thing ever
The app and the meter monitor are absolutely superb, reliable and accurate. We’ve had it for over 3 years and would not be without it. Excellent customer service too!
Information on Tap
The Powerpal Ap gives real time info of the type of data you need
I have an origin energy app, a Eveready battery app but the Powerpal app is the one I rely on !
As above
