Ratings and reviews

It's great until it's not! Sometimes the notifications stop for some reason. Recently had temporary phone, didn't notify on new phone, when switched back, found signed out/notifications off on original phone! Sucks when you realise you've missed a bunch of specials... and power bill not stop great 😕 Also, if delay payment, can be confusing what you owe vs what you've "bought". Luckily refunded massive over-purchase fairly easily.

Didn't take my complaint seriously, still unresolved. Something fishy about this app, sometimes it says "you are $20 behind" so I'll purchase a pack but the pack doesn't change the amount I'm behind but takes my money and everything. So I'll purchase a pack and it still says I'm $25 behind, it's just happened again today, was $13 behind purchase $20 pack, app still says $13 behind. No transparency on what I'm actually paying on power either which is misleading... Gonna have to change providers.

It's been three weeks since I got the latest update and I still can't buy power packs! My account is in credit but I can't use it as the button to purchase is still greyed out, frustrating! P.s. I emailed about this issue when I first discovered it, but still no fix in sight.
