SUPPORT
Please don't leave support requests on iTunes as these are anonymous and I have no way of contacting you if I have questions. Instead there is a link to my support page from iTunes and from the app itself (or simply go to http://grahamhaley.co.uk/meters/). Alternatively, PLEASE contact me directly via my support pages and you will get a quick response.
What's new in Version 2.9.3
Fixed a display bug on the add reading screen that showed up if you have multiple meters, each with different numbers of readings (e.g. day/night).

Improved the graph extrapolation calculations for the month, quarter and year views.

Other minor fixes.

If you like my app, please consider leaving a review on iTunes, or updating your previous review to the latest version, 2.9.3. Your feedback is appreciated!

Finally if you are in the UK, make sure you use the price comparison feature, especially now that winter is approaching. The average dual-fuel saving in October alone has been £150!
