Meter Readings App Reviews

I live in Hawaii and electricity was kicking my butt. I didnt realize how much a water heater uses even with quick showers. Prompted me to buy a water heater timer and has lowered my bill from over 1000kw to around 500. No more $450 electricity bills!

Love this app and its flexibility. Using it from several times a day (to isolate particular electric usages) to once a week to get trends, this app helped me get my lowest electric bill. Without having to install any additional hardware and relying just on my meter (an old analog one at that!), I can get a wealth of information about electrical usage.

App does what it says and very well.

Would be nice if a chart can be viewed in Landscape mode covering longer time frame. Please add a feature where utility consumption can be computed per unit, i.e. Water usage per rental unit. My meter reads in 6 digits! (and still omits 2 zeros) so I have to truncate readings in thousands! Would be nice to have 2 or 3 more digits to the wheel for larger readings!

This is a great app to track my home utility consumption. I'm coming up on two years of use and it's great to see the relationship between gas and electricity consumption depending on the time of year. Very easy to use, graphs are great. Does what it says on the tin with no fuss and syncs perfectly between iPad and iPhone using iCloud or Dropbox.

I love this app. A perfect picture of my expenses right in my hand. Sweet!

This app is a great way to get a handle on your base use, heating vs. cooling, etc. I use this daily and have been able to figure out exactly where and how we are using electricity. We are planning a solar install down the road and these helps us track what is essential vs non to reach the optimum yet minimal kw per day.

I record daily and it has helped our family reduce electricity usage by 50%. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to reduce or track energy costs. With a few updates to features such as seasonal cost models and maybe wireless data reading?? That would be cool!

This app is very well organized and allows customization exactly where it is needed. I appreciate the way it captures the time when entering the reading! I wish it would show the average useage per hour alongside the difference between two successive readings. I want to track useage patterns throughout the day (see the effect of turning equipment on/off, what is consumed at night versus a busy period of the day, etc.). Since one knows what is generally running over a period of time, there would be no need for those expensive appliance wattmeters, either. Nice job!

What a handy little app! With electricity costs soaring (doubling in one month) during the summer months and the expectancy arrival of PG&E's "SmartMeter, I was trying to keep a daily log of kWh usage and project monthly cost using a fairly complicated multiple tier system. After stumbling across this program and trying to program the rate structure, the math from the program and those by handwritten calculations did not align. I sent Graham, the developer, an email explaining the situation and within an hour or so he offered me a response that was, simple, clear, and concise that rectified the problem, kudos! It works great and will definitely save more than the $.99 I paid fit the app! Definitely worth the buy!

I recently switched to a Time Of Use electric rate after I had solar panels installed. The rate is high from 2PM to 7PM and I needed a way to track my usage during those periods. With this app I was able to add the peak, off-peak, and super off-peak rates and enter the meter readings for each anytime I took a reading. Also does water and gas, and has add-ons for unlimited meters if you manage many properties. Excellent application and very initiative.

Thanks for the great app. Works like a charm. One feature that would be really cool, is adding support for prepaid meters.

I have been using this for just under a year now. This application is very easy to use and flexible. I only track our electricity use. It has helped us be mindful of our consumption; especially during our harsh winter and, presently, unusually warm summer. It is helping save $$$. Thanks, Developer, for your useful and timely updates. I appreciate your work.

Love the app. Great information and easy to track. I just wish the data would sync between my idevices. Importing data via Bluetooth has yet to work.

This app does exactly what it says and what it was developed for. Great app! Thank you a lot!!!

Does what it should. Thanks, great app.

This is better than a lot of the other apps for energy meter reading. At least you can manually enter the history to give a more accurate view of your usage. I would really like to see someone provide import/export functionality and more graphing capabilities, even a web based support for the service. This app was actually a 3.5 star but I figured I would go with 4 because it has some potential. More function than form but still a good start. Don't waste your money with the others.

Best app I could find for monitoring my utility usage. Still discovering all the features it has to offer.

If your looking for an app to help you understand your energy usage, this app is for you. It would be 5 stars if it had a way to correlate usage with local weather.

One feature that would be really cool is adding support for flashlight when reading meters.

This app makes it so simple to keep track of energy usage. I also use it to track the miles I drive in my car per day so I can look at how feasible it is to have an electric car. And if I get an electric car, I will see to impact on electricity usage, tracked in this app as well.

great app for keeping a track of recent and past meters' values.

Very good app. Using the camera to pick up the readings would be a great update Thank you Jerry

Used this app for a few years and it just keeps getting better. Would like to see a note field added to record reasons for unusual readings. And perhaps a field to track average temperatures during billing period with graph overlays on usage graph. Thanks for this excellent app.

Simple and intuitive.

I have entered back data from my utility providers to help assist me in saving money. This app is great for trending data. Be sure to use the website as well for additional info and tips. I use this app at least weekly and look forward to analyzing end of month data.

Have cut my utility bills by more than 35% because of the tracking that I can get with this app. And such a dedicated developer !

I've been using the app for a year. There are many features that let you analyze your energy consumption.

Very handy app.

I normally have a sensor at my power panel, but removed it to get my home ready for sale. Now, thus let's me still see my power usage and estimated electric bill with minimal effort.

Lots of useful information presented to you within this app. Even if you just view the daily or periodic usage and cost, it's a great way of knowing what to expect from your next utility bill. Good support from creator.

I've used this app close to daily for well over a year now, and it's given me much insight to my elictricity usage. Good app, and it's gotten better with every update. Highly recommended for "logging geeks".

I purchased this app to monitor a sub meter on an apartment that feeds off my main house meter. At first I had a bit of difficulty configuring the very complicated electric bill into this app. I contacted the developer who was very quick to respond. It is clear that he has put a lot of thought into this app and is going to continue to develop and evolve this app. It is very difficult to anticipate the needs of every user in every country and to adopt to different currencies and terminology and the complicated rules of different electric companies in different countries, but this developer is certainly doing everything possible to do so. If you need to monitor your electric meter, this is the only app that really brings it all together to do that. I have looked at every single similar app available in the iTunes store and this is the only one that even comes close to doing what it claims. Highly recommended.

This app is helping me understand and monitor my electricity usage.

Well supported. Some room for improvement. Need to accommodate comments. Graham is doing a great job! New features all the time. Lots of functionality! Worth every penny! Regards Nicolaas South Africa

Perfect App for the average person that has to check meters or just wants to get control of their electric bill.

Great app! I use it every day.

A great way to track your utility usages.

He does a great job updating and adding new features. Electric bill has gone down over the past year since I've been monitoring it with this app!!!!! Continued support and updates!!! Great job!!! Support is unbelievable. Unlike many app writers he actually answers questions!!! I use this app at least 3 or 4 times a week to record all of my reading and I know exactly what to expect on my bills….

I use it every day. Data collection and trends in consumption. Great app. Thanks.

I needed an app to help track my water bill, since I put in a new sprinkler system. Does more than expected, would highly recommend.

Very handy

Works as advertised and is kept up-to-date. Would be nice if I could add the random extra fee to the total amount becoming more accurate at tracking actual costs for historical purposes.

I've been using this app to keep track of my solar electric system. My needs are complicated, since on some days my meter turns backwards and I have a "regular" electric meter and a solar meter. The developer has always responded quickly to my e-mails with requests for improvements or added functionality, by e-mailing me directly and then improving the app with the next release. He has shown a commitment to producing a quality product. One point I should make for this review. The app determines cost by supporting different rates for different levels of cost. I don't use that functionality so I'm not reviewing that aspect of the app. I just set my cost factor to $1 to read the output as power used.

Import functionality works really well for pulling data from other tools. UI could be modernized a bit but otherwise great.
