Octopus Energy

it works fairly well, except for two things: 1) I was switched over from Shell when Octopus bought them out. None of my historical readings before March 2024 are visible in this app, so I have no way to compare with previous years. 2) The purple and black colour scheme was designed by someone with young eyes and perfect colour vision. Some of us who need glasses for reading struggle with the ubiquitous "Dark Mode". Please, please, please give us an option for a light background with dark text.

Brilliant app, being able to monitor Octoplus, car charging and general energy usage etc in one place is really handy. In terms of EV charging, If you need to charge your car by a certain time in the morning, the system will automatically control the charging to ensure it's ready on time, even if it means extending the cheaper window by a small amount - whilst managing load on the grid. I had a slight problem with the app, the Devices tab disappeared for a bit, but Hector from support fixed it.

The app has all the info that I require but logging in by having to insert email and password everytime is a pain. If the app allowed biometric login, it would be much better. There are plenty of "information sensitive" apps out there that allow this, so I don't see any problems. NHS app and ADP for viewing payslips are two examples. Edit: In response to reply. Only works for reopening app if it's running in background,not if you log out. If you do, you then need to re-enter email & password.
