British Gas Energy - Latest Quality Issues

“upgraded” system no longer allows you to set bill date!
After the debacle of this upgrade most things are fixed apart from two 1. You no longer have the ability to request a billing date it is imposed on you without warning - mine used to be the 18th so that my direct debit goes out on the 1st under the old system and now it's changed without warning to the 9th and 23rd! What a shambles I shall be complaining to ofgem 2. All the years of history of usage have gone from the app graph still so you can't compare your energy usage - again a poor decision not to do good customer service and migrate the old data to the new system to save money

Bad app
As others stated it doesn't show any updates or meter readings from smart meters

Since being moved to the new system I have no visibility of my gas account just electricity. Have to give meter reads via phone for gas definitely not an improvement. I seem to have 2 account numbers a retrograde step not seamless. I would love to get them both back in one place or maybe just switch supplier. Despite calls and numerous interactions with the Bot no improvement or solutions.

Nothing better to do?
What was wrong with the last version of the british gas app. There seems to be a constant effort to tinker and try to fix what is not broken. This app, based on what i can see is far worse than before, all we need is to pay our bills and review what we energy we have used within that time! This was all solved in the last app and now its more time wasted trying to find what we were able to find easily in the older app version!

Don’t like the fresh new look, sorry
It was much easier to read and use on the previous version. Please give us the option to choose the old or new interface. I won't be updating my other devices….. this is how to spoil what was a perfectly good app.

App need a massive redesign
The app does do the basics, but it's very slow and very annoying when it comes to topping up. Why do I need to select gas or electric two to three times to top up. I should only need to select either gas or electric once, all this does is waste your customers time and gets them confused, thinking they pressed something wrong. Also home readings and app readings for usable credit, are so far apart, it's disgusting. I could understand a few pence difference, but I've had it over £5 difference. I totally agree with others, the app is rubbish for a business the size of British Gas. Even smaller businesses can create excellent apps. Idea! If your current app designers can't do better, find a better team, but give them a chance to prove they can do better

Very disappointed with this app. Usage for gas - two days a month if you are lucky. Numerous promises to fix....No better
