About this app

Wouldn’t it be great to know how much it costs to run your air conditioning? Or the heater? Or the lights the kids are constantly leaving on upstairs?

With Powerpal you can see how your energy use changes when you turn on and off your home appliances, so you can take control of how you want to use energy in your home.

The Powerpal app reveals your power usage in real-time and keeps track of your history, helping you to make better decisions about the way you use energy.

With Powerpal you can set a monthly spend target and see how you’re tracking in real time.
You’ll receive alerts to tell you if you’re on target, and get some tips to get back on track if you’re not.

By combining Powerpal with a time of use tariff you could access cheaper energy during off-peak times.
Simple changes like running your dishwasher after 10pm can add up to big savings on your bill.

Ratings and reviews

I'm onto my third one as the two previous ones have failed. The app seems to have trouble connecting to the power pal often. The to do is full of ads and for me adds no value. an interesting idea, but since it's a smart meter why can't we get the data directly from the meter rather than counting pulses ...

Update for v2.1.2: ok, shows the current day days again, good, but Android 'exit' button no longer works, have to use switch and close to get rid of it - or to get b/t to try connection again! This app seriously needs a simple 'retry Bluetooth connection' button. I'm so sick of killing the app and restarting it just to get it to retry connection to Bluetooth again...

used to be really good until you updated it today. Now it freezes when you try to go back to the first month of usage. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and still freezes. Highly frustrating when this happens because we lose two to three years of data so this app is now only capable of reading usage in real time not storing historical data.

Just tightening things up: better performance, fewer bugs.
