It has been suggested elsewhere that if you still have the old app on your device then the old and new can  clash with each other, and removing the old one then lets the new one work properly.

If it's still not working a few hours after removing the old one then it's time to contact support.

See the green bar at the top of any forum page for the PAYG contact details.

I’m no longer able to use the Top Up App and, as advised, have downloaded the new App.  This only shows my Gas A/C which I pay by direct debit.  There doesn’t seem to be anywhere to add my electricity account so now I’m not able to top up my electricity.  I did use the online chat and was advised that I could just continue to use the existing top up app, which is obviously no longer active!

Thank you for responding.  I contacted Ovo again via the Chat to get this resolved, however, despite the adviser assuring me that my Pay as you go /Electricity account would now be showing/accessible, I have not been able to log into my account at all, either through the app or browser - not sure if this is a problem others have experienced?

Morning ​@GillyHHall,

 

Please can you follow these steps:

 

  • Visit https://my.ovoenergy.com/login
  • Click ‘set up account’
  • Enter your email address when prompted
  • You’ll be sent an email containing a link from which to set a new password
  • Once you’ve set a new password you should have access to the online account
  • You’ll then be able to log into the app with the same email address and password

 

Please let me know how this goes. If you’re unable to log in following these steps please let me know which error messages you’re seeing on the screen.

 

Once you’re logged in, this guide will give you more info as to how it all works with the new account setup:

this happened to me as well, and now the NEW Ovo app is no longer working. Ovo really should have tested this before rolling it out

Morning ​@jkwalker1 and welcome to the OVO Forum community.

 

Sorry to hear of what’s happening here. A few customers have had the same issue, and this needs to be raised to our Support Team, who’ll hopefully be able to fix it. If they can’t fix it for you, they’ll need to raise a ticket to our IT team. There’s a few different reasons as to why one of the fuels can be missing from the app / online account:

 

Please contact Support, and let us know how you get on with this. Hopefully this can be resolved ASAP.

Hi, I am able to view my gas but unable to view my electric. So cannot top up since the top up app has stopped.

Morning ​@MandyHale and a warm welcome to the OVO Forum. I hope you’re doing well.

 

The most common cause of this issue that we’re seeing is customers having gas and electricity split over two separate accounts. In this instance, the accounts must be linked under the same email address. This means that, when you log in, you’ll be able to switch between the two accounts, and top up each. It’ll look like this:

 

 

Please contact our Support Team, who’ll be able to link your accounts together under the same email address and log in, if this is what the issue is. There’s a more unlikely chance that the issue could be because of this:

 

Some customers who cannot see gas or electricity on their app are affected by an issue where one of their smart meters may not be labelled correctly on their energy account, and this must be fixed by our Support Team.

 

Please contact Support, who’ll be able to see what the issue is, and fix it for you. If you could let us know how you get on we’d appreciate it.

Hey ​@AndyB88 

 

I’m sorry to hear this.

 

We don’t have access to accounts here at the Forum so you’ll need to get in touch with the Support Team so they can get the electric linked and added on to the same account. Similar to the reply before this, the most common cause of this seems to be that the meters have previously been split over 2 accounts or that one is labelled incorrectly, the team will be able to resolve either of these and anything else it may be.

 

 

Do let us know how you get on.

Hi Abby 

 

I have been on phone for 1 hour. I have been told they can’t fix it and I have to wait for a ticket to be raised. What am I supposed to do when I’m on holiday

The new app is only showing my gas bill and not my electric bill. Have rang up ovo, had a half hour phone call but it’s still not working.
How I’m I meant top up my electricity?
