I sincerely appreciate how much thought & time went into this app! I am grateful for the multiple options & features, however I wish I could directly communicate with the developer to provide some feedback & ideas that they might be interested in talking about. Looking forward to more upgrades & functionality in the next few months.

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.
Fixed a layout issue when viewing readings for meters with multiple counters.
Minor cosmetic changes.
The app now requires iOS 12.0 or above.
Version 6.5
