## Description

This app supports managing multiple meters including dual-rate and triple-rate types, allowing you to group counters and track collective consumption. Use your device's camera to scan barcodes or serial numbers for quick meter identification. Additionally, you can view detailed consumption summaries weekly, monthly, or yearly.

## Review summary

Overall, users praise Meters reading for a clean, intuitive UI and a rich feature set, including barcode scanning, reminders, charts, and flexible import/export with local and online backups. The developer is repeatedly commended for responsive support and automatic calculations that simplify tracking daily usage. A recurring drawback across reviews is currency limitation: the app defaults to £ and cannot be changed, with requests for other currencies. Some reports mention issues with accuracy, navigation, and feature gaps (PV solar feed-in, hourly readings, price tiering). Despite these, many users rely on it for daily energy monitoring.

### Pros

- Clear, user-friendly interface.
- Rich feature set: barcode scanning, reminders, graphs, import/export, and local/online backups.
- Excellent and responsive developer support.
- Automatic data processing: auto averaging of usage and total consumption.

### Cons

- Currency cannot be changed (default £; requests for other currencies like € remain unmet).
