## What is SPOT Hunter?

Track electricity prices clearly and without unnecessary complexity.

SPOT Hunter shows hourly and 15-minute day-ahead spot prices for 40 European bidding zones. Find the cheapest hours, compare today with tomorrow on a shared price axis, and decide when to run appliances, charge your EV, or use surplus solar energy.

Free:
- Today's hourly prices in a clear, interactive chart
- 40 European bidding zones — pick your country and zone
- Currency (CZK/EUR) and unit (kWh/MWh) switching
- Available in 24 languages

With PRO:
- Tomorrow's prices as soon as the market publishes them (around 13:00 CET)
- Final price: add time-banded distribution charges and VAT to the spot price
- Alerts for price ranges and daily summaries
- Price history for better planning
- Home screen widgets: level overview, graph, heatmap and insights

Great for:
- Households on a spot (dynamic) electricity tariff
- Solar (PV) and home-battery owners
- EV drivers who want to charge during the cheapest hours

SPOT Hunter is designed to be fast, simple, and easy to understand at a glance.

PRO is a monthly or yearly subscription with a 14-day free trial, and includes Family Sharing. The app is free to use; PRO unlocks tomorrow's prices, the final price, alerts, history and widgets. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in your App Store settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-08-22

A new way to ask, and two things put right.

• Ask Siri "when is electricity cheapest" and hear today’s answer without opening the app
• The final price now draws in the chart and history themselves — corrections and VAT included, not just in the insight cards

Fixes:
• Correction rates follow your currency — switch market and the rate converts with it, instead of staying in Kč
• A saved correction rate can no longer be quietly reset to zero
• PRO from Family Sharing counts again — tomorrow’s prices, history and alerts work for family members too

### 1.6 — 2026-08-13

A new way to ask, and two things put right.

• Ask Siri "when is electricity cheapest" and hear today’s answer without opening the app
• The final price now draws in the chart and history themselves — corrections and VAT included, not just in the insight cards

Fixes:

• A saved correction rate can no longer be quietly reset to zero
• PRO from Family Sharing counts again — tomorrow’s prices, history and alerts work for family members too

### 1.5 — 2026-08-11

A small release with two fixes worth having.

• Clock-change days are shown in full — the hour that happens twice in autumn appears twice, and the one skipped in spring is left as a gap

Fixes:
• Widgets refresh on their own again, even when the app stays closed for days
• History and price alerts load again

### 1.4 — 2026-08-10

SPOT Hunter grew up. What was a Czech-only app now follows 40 European bidding zones and speaks 24 languages.

• 40 European bidding zones — pick your country and zone in Settings
• The whole app in 24 languages — pick yours in Settings → General
• 15-minute prices, following Europe's new trading intervals
• Final price: add time-banded distribution charges and VAT to the spot price (PRO)
• 14 days free to try PRO
• Family Sharing now comes with both plans at no extra cost — the separate, pricier family plan is gone
• New chart layout: today and tomorrow stacked on one shared scale
• Optional single-colour chart

Fixes:
• Tomorrow now says when its prices aren't published yet, instead of loading forever — and never shows today's in their place
• The current hour is marked correctly in the app and in widgets, following the market's clock
• Saving an alert no longer fails silently
• Notifications round prices and use your currency and unit, with dates in your language

### 1.3.1 — 2026-06-22

- New Widgets
- Small fixes
