User Reviews

Powerpal is praised for its easy installation and helpful real-time tracking of energy use, allowing users to monitor individual appliances and plan usage effectively. However, many users report persistent Bluetooth connection problems requiring frequent re-pairing, lack of WiFi support restricting remote monitoring, and missing features like billing cycle customization and low battery alerts. Despite its useful insights and user-friendly interface, the app's connectivity and feature limitations are common concerns among users.

  • Easy and quick installation and setup process.

Cons

  • Lack of WiFi connectivity limits remote access and convenience.

  • The app does not notify users of low device battery leading to unexpected data loss.
  • Limited app integration, such as no widgets or automation features.

This could be a great app, but unfortunately it only works with selected energy providers. I'm with Diamond (Choice no 1 provider), and the app won't let me set peak, off-peak and shoulder rates, so it can't accurately measure my charges which then makes many other functions inaccurate! All recommendations and simulators, such as potential solar saving estimates, are useless, as are spending comparisons, weekly reports etc. The inputs are reasonably simple functions, so please fix it!

Negatives🥴 The BT needs improving. I have to go to my bedroom for reception. Half my block doesn't get any. They have removed it. I had a breakdown which lost much data. Now too many requests to pair. Positives 😃 Great for checking future Price Spikes and planning high power use in advance. ie: i can see it's cheaper not to turn on heater for another half hour. Or to warm my flat up when prices are lower then off when Electricity prices rise.
