Amazing solution for an ideal price – saved me hundreds detecting a leak. I had an issue setting the unit up, but support bent over backwards to help. We eventually got. It working and I immediately realized I had a leak. I have no long the leak had been occurring, but Flume is a brilliant […]

Works OK, but needs polish. Specifically, the graphs and charts that the app draws are hard to view. There’s too much space between the bars requiring you to scroll back and forth a lot. It’s difficult to view trends, etc. EDIT: The app has never had any real updates. The only thing this app has […]

When my city claimed I had doubled my usage, most in higher-tier pricing, I assumed a leak. After checking and finding no leak, I installed Flume. It’s amazingly accurate. After using for a month, my usage is normal, no leak, so probably a city mistake (still sorting *that* out). It’s nice to have an independent […]

I would prefer to be able to adjust/identify water source on current date rather than go back to previous dates and having to remember the water usage type and then update it accordingly. overall I like using the app, fairly easy to use.

Invaluable app that works alongside the Flume device to detect ๐Ÿ’ฆ leaks and save money. Great addition to your smart home. Get it while the offer lasts from your water company. Devs, kindly add dark mode, please. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Doesn’t detect minor leaks, expensive battery subscription, faulty unit after 2 years

Apps that aggravate the user deserve few stars. Flume makes you work unnecessarily to view what’s just happened. When the app opens, it shows the Dashboard and today’s hours. You want to see what’s just happened, so you touch the current hour – say 3:00PM. And it comes up at 3:59. And forces you to […]

Previously gave it a one star but realized after making an appointment with chloe, which did an excellent job figuring out what was wrong with downloading the app. It turned out to be the font size on my phone, she figured it out in less than 10 minutes. Can’t give a five until I try […]

Dumbed down the interface๐Ÿ‘Ž Actually they broke it. Trend lines with no units. Less information than before the update. Today I used at least 50 gallons. The app says I used 0 and that it is 105% of my ten day average. It used to show 0.8 gallons for each flush. I’m going to look […]

Guess who’s flume caught two pipe bursts!? Not mine… Why you ask, the app logs you off seemingly at random, so instead of preventing a $45,000 flood, it told me after the fact, when I opened the app and had to log back in, that I used 1,500 gallons of water… The device definitely records […]

Worst IOT device I have purchased to date (Flume 2). The device constant requires reboots and stops tracking your data with no warning. I have reached out to support several times for the same issue and they can’t fix the problem and say their engineers are working on it. Their claim that the data is […]

I’ve used both Gen 1 and Gen 2 Flumes for almost four years. Android and iOS. Flume has alerted three leaks in that time. One was as small as 0.03 gallons every other minute (>7k gallons per year). The app has been dependable and accurate for me on all platforms, including the algorithms to disaggregate […]

Good app but absolutely frustrating that it logs you out and you have to login, with no notice other than not receiving any notifications. Defeats the purpose of even being a phone app if it logs you out. 2 stars until this is fixed. I need to know at all times if I have a […]

Great monitoring. Its a little clunky with the way it shows the daily/weekly usage and their AI is certainly not all there yet regarding its estimation of what used water when. It would be cool if you could go into the app and start a session to monitor how much water you use for various […]

Functional app for checking water usage reported by your Flume device. Only real gripe is that only seven bars of data are shown at a time, so a lot of scrolling is needed. In addition, when selecting the current hour it starts at 59 minutes, even if it’s only 10 minutes after the hour, so […]

Their main feature is the “intelligent” categorization of water usage (e.g. dishwasher, outdoor, etc) yet I’d say the accuracy is close to 50%. My main issue with this is that they don’t have a way for the user to correct the category labels (which would improve their model) . So until then, its great to […]

Lots of false positives, and the interface could be improved. It took me awhile to realize that, while viewing hourly usage, it was showing per minute usage and that I needed to swipe left and right to view more. There’s no clear indication more data is available this way. Also I keep getting notifications of […]

It’s nice to have a rough estimate of what you use in a month. But their anomaly algorithms are the worst I have ever seen. I get an alert for usage every day when the sprinklers go on and I get an “suspected leak” alert once or twice a week. It’s totally useless. Meant today […]
