OVO Energy, created by OVO Energy Ltd, is a simple platform through which customers can control their energy consumption, track bills, and make the world a greener place. Being compatible with Android and iOS versions, the app provides a smooth digital experience through which energy consumption can be tracked well, bills are easy to understand, and payments can be made. It’s only for OVO Energy account customers in the UK to be able to easily manage their energy supplier on-the-go without the hassle of paper forms or long customer service calls.

The app allows users to view real-time data on energy consumption broken down into meaningful statistics by the day, week, or month. Users are also provided with estimated costs for the next days, which would be helpful in planning and budgeting for energy consumption. The interface uses straightforward navigation and easy-to-read graphs, hence even less technology-savvy individuals can easily view their energy consumption patterns.

One of the key objectives that it helps to encourage is energy efficiency. Through providing suggestions and advice, the app compels customers to reduce their carbon footprint, just what OVO Energy’s greater cause entails in terms of eco-friendliness. Customers can even actively engage with the OVO Energy carbon tracker tool in order to determine and lower their carbon footprint in the long term. The app synchronizes with their Smart Meter for real-time information, eliminating uncertainty about energy meter readings. It also ensures that handling accounts is not only convenient but also green by offering paperless billing.

OVO Energy has over 1 million installations on Google Play, 8,933+ ratings and a 3.0 rating, which indicates varied experiences by users. Despite this, it performs well on the Apple App Store with a 4.7-star rating from over 16.1K reviews, which indicates better satisfaction among iOS users.
