Hi all,

So not gone any further with the above BUT I’ve now seen a couple of different Apps for viewing/checking smart meter data so wondering what peoples opinions of these are, they are:-

Bright App (which appears you need the display = CAD as mentioned above) @ £70.  Quick look on website appears app may of had a update as looks different to before. Plus side for this is ability to view it at a glance rather than loading up app on phone but not a massive issue, the display is just handy if it catches your eye you will see it using more power etc.

Huge – Free app and they will also show you different tariffs available BUT apparently don’t push you to switch etc, just giving you the info so you can make a choice/decision. These not been going very long, last year and potentially need CC details to confirm who you are IF the number of back of IHD doesn’t work so not too sure want to provide CC info.

ivie – not sure about them

utrack – appears to be done by uswitch, not sure about it as app doesn’t look as good for what can tell from pics, not downloaded it.

Loop – don’t know much about this one, app interface not as nice as Hugo and not sure it shows the same stuff as well.

Anyone here tried these apps?

Ideally want to be able to place it on multiple devices i.e. mobiles as might let family member be able to view it so can keep check on usage.

Like the idea of an app as it will show historic info so if I get a bill and its higher, I can check app and then decide ah yes, its been cold so will cost more or if nothing has changed then can start to try find out what is using more power.  Had freezer in past that although worked fine, started using more power, was quiet old so replaced it all ok.

Thanks
