### 3/5 — Slow customer service and app bugs

*2026-05-26*

I have been a customer for nearly 5 months, didn’t have an issue until over a week ago where the app won’t update my manual gas reading. I have been attempting to do it for over a week now, and have contacted customer service via email and the app but I haven’t heard back from them. 

Besides that, the app is pretty straightforward and so far the bill estimate has been accurate by the time payment is due. 

It would be nice if you could optimise the app for iPad users!

### 3/5 — Rubbish interface

*2025-09-29, version 1.69.0*

Its a web interface, may as well not making the app! Hard to navigate and rubbish information. Advertised with flying colours until you with them and started using!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work now

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

After this update it now doesn’t open on my iPhone…. Please fix this ASAP

### 1/5 — Keeps shutting down

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

Keeps shutting down . This is a joke . Fix the stupid thing

### 1/5 — App Crash

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

App has started to crash every time i open it since last 2 days! 

The recent update has made the app unstable! 
It needs to be fixed up ASAP!

### 1/5 — Where is the support?

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

So the recent app update causes it to crash. Why is there nothing on the website or here to let users know what is being done to fix the issue?

### 1/5 — The recent updates crash the app

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

The recent updates crash the app, after face recog to log in after loading icon then it decided to shut off. Fix immediately

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

The app used to work fine, not anymore. The problem is that the moment the app does the face recognition, it kills itself, crashes and disappears. What’s the point of having an app which does not work. Does not even fire up.

### 2/5 — App crashes

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

App crashes when logging in.  have removed and re-added ap, still no luck :(

### 2/5 — App keeps shutting down

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

Don’t really think much of the app itself. Now it keeps shutting down though, so I can’t access it. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it’s still shutting down as soon as I open it

### 1/5 — Can’t even open app now

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

The last update must have screwed up the app, because I can’t even get past the log in screen. The app instantly crashes. Very annoying that I now have to revert to opening the finicky browser site in my phone to top up. Please fix ASAP!

### 3/5 — App keeps crashing

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

Legally everytime I try to open the app it crashes immediately. Literally unusable

### 3/5 — No good deals anymore and app crashes

*2024-04-03*

App continues to crash on start up. This was the best energy provider until it was taken over by a larger retailer. Now lacks any incentive for forward purchases of energy. App is quite good when it works, but the company is not what they were.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even open

*2024-04-03, version 1.66.5*

Latest update of bug fixes has meant it won’t even open. This is likely the last straw for me.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2024-04-03, version 1.66.5*

App crashes after most recent release

### 1/5 — Last update can’t open app

*2024-04-03, version 1.66.5*

Have deleted and reinstalled five times and I can’t open App after update April 1st. I don’t know if they are fools as web based link works

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t use them

*2026-04-18, version 1.69.1*

Scam consumers to sign up their plan and no credit is given after even tho customer meet all required criteria. Stay away from them

### 1/5 — The app is not working since last update

*2026-03-12, version 1.69.1*

Not working

### 1/5 — Soo slow & inaccurate

*2026-01-08, version 1.69.1*

Why is the App still sooo slow to load, pay etc. It’s also frustratingly inaccurate when it estimates how many days you are paying for & when you pay it says you have less days left! This app quite frankly is pretty rubbish I actually hate it

### 1/5 — I came back

*2025-05-07, version 1.66.11*

It is too complicated for my 86 year old brain.Will  look for a simpler system.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-12-03, version 1.66.8*

It’s been “under maintenance” since we signed up ages ago.

### 1/5 — cannot open the app

*2024-08-07, version 1.66.8*

cannot open the app since I downloaded

### 1/5 — Inaccurate and useless

*2024-05-10, version 1.66.7*

This app is incapable of proving the actual amount of KW used on a daily basis, even though that data is available daily if you have a smart meter. Instead they wildly round up (and occassionally round down) to a whole kilowatt which results in an inaccurate daily$ amount…don’t believe the hype about a useful app…it’s not

### 1/5 — Now doesn’t crash but data clearly wrong

*2024-04-08, version 1.66.7*

App now not crashing but….now data clearly wrong/ incomplete and delayed at least 24 hour before being published

### 1/5 — The app won’t even open

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

On my iPhone 14 pro running iOS 17.4.1 and the latest app updates, it’s started crashing immediately on opening. Tried deleting and reinstalling to no avail. Been using this app for years across multiple phones, no other apps are playing up, so I think something is buggy all of a sudden.

### 1/5 — App crashes - how am I meant to pay my bill?

*2024-04-04, version 1.66.5*

Also, discounts are woeful. Savings on rates keeps dropping. No big bulk purchase discounts.

### 5/5 — Over SIX yrs so far: it’s just a very different way to pay & shop..100% smart!

*2025-06-12, version 1.68*

Just do it ✔️

### 5/5 — Great Apps

*2025-06-11, version 1.68*

Very useful apps.
Functions well.

### 5/5 — The app has been fixed! I can refer again :)

*2024-09-04*

The app has been fixed and is working well. I mainly use it for my referral link to keep my bills down and share the sign-up credit. The billing history is pretty good too!

### 5/5 — Fun way to pay for power

*2019-06-12*

Great app. Shows how much energy you used (and how much it cost) on a daily basis. You can also work out which appliances use the most energy by seeing the energy spikes. 

The ‘power packs’ is where you get the discounts though so you have to keep on top of it. One power pack I liked was supporting community projects which I thought was neat.

### 5/5 — Great App, great company

*2018-06-25*

This company provides a great service. The app is so useful. I know so much about my usage, can pay bills easily, and in small amounts instead of a large bill. Information is easy to ascertain (except perhaps my solar feed in) I really appreciate that when I ring them I always get someone on the end of the phone and without a long wait. I really like their focus on the environment and now they have gas too! I don’t know why everyone isn’t with Powershop

### 5/5 — Great company, great app

*2017-12-28*

Love this app. Previous day's data is always ready the next morning to keep an eye on usage. 

Contrast this with one of the big two who had multiple-day delays on detailed usage for smart meters.

### 5/5 — Best way to buy power, fantastic app

*2017-12-21*

I’ve been a powershop customer for years now. They deliver the best prices in my area, and purchasing electricity via the app is easy, painless, and works every time. Never had an issue with the app, or the company. Simply a 5 Star experience all round. Thanks Powershop!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2017-09-19*

Really easy app to use. Makes paying for power less scary and more straight-forward. (Plus, weirdly, more fun?) So happy to be supporting a business that costs less for us than any other power supplier we found when we changed suppliers 18 months ago, and also has the same values as we do. I've been recommending all of my family and friends. A few have actually changed over already.

### 4/5 — Functional and straight forward

*2026-06-01*

Estimates for electricity and gas are pretty accurate, been with them for 4 months. Customer service via email and app take a few days to respond but they were quick to rectify issue and followed up as well. 

Would be great if we get an app that is optimised for ipad!

### 4/5 — Latest update crashes

*2024-04-01*

It’s been fine till just now, but won’t stay open after updating this morning. Just letting you know. Won’t stop me using Powershop.
