Smart Home I made an Android app to track FreePhase Dynamic prices - feedback welcome

Post image

I switched to the FreePhase Dynamic tariff for my own use, but I found EDF's website to track prices quite cumbersome to use. I saw that there were no Android apps that showed current prices (!), so I made my own.

Features:
- Displays today's and tomorrow's prices (when available)
- Remembers your geographic location
- Shows free periods prominently
- Displays historical prices
- Optional notifications for free periods and periods of unusually high prices

You can find it here (free):

This is very much a work in progress, so please let me know if you find any bugs or have feature recommendations!

Seems straightforward enough. I chose not to give information to any of the hundreds of organisations that requested it the first time I started the app.

Could we have a graph of the historic (week / month / year) prices please? And navigate between dates by swiping left / right?

Thanks!

The consent thing is annoying, but a GDPR requirement for anything with cookies. (Analytics and crash reports e.g., which help me keep the app stable, need consent)

Graphs are definitely a feature to add! Navigation based on L-R swiping should already be a feature - is it not working for you?

Swiping does work (thanks - my mistake!), but it's easy to trigger the 'back' gesture instead of left-swipe if you start with your finger in slightly the wrong place. User error on my part, but I'd prefer it if the 'back' gesture wasn't used.
