Hi
had same trouble called boost yesterday was told app at fault but they working on it.
had text today saying zero balance and top up by tomorrow. Obs they’re text service working fine. I can’t go pay point as self isolating at home.
I have emailed and wait reply.
just so you no if you call them be prepared for a very long wait
Update
Not sure how Iv managed this but was able to top up once I joined this forum.
I joined they sent link to authenticate account
i did thus
I then clicked account details and topped up, have saved to safari.
Terrified of running out whilst isolating so have topped up with my whole household budget £100.
I’m sure what they have done to us is illegal but what else can we do.
I was told to uninstall the app and download it again so I did and mine is working now
Updated on 03/07/21: here’s some common app FAQs:
On your new Boost plan, you can:
Top up anywhere, anytime – online, in the app, or at PayPoint shops as usual
Enjoy some breathing space – get £5 emergency credit straight from each of your meters, and you can call us if you need more
Check your balance in the app – every night, we'll take a handy snapshot of your balance. So it’s all ready for you the next day
Always be in the know – if you've got an In-Home Display, this can tell you how much energy you're using, and alert you when you're low on credit
And if you run out of credit on weekdays between 4pm and 10am, or anytime on weekends and bank holidays – we'll make sure you don't lose power
That’s easy. Just fill out this form to order yours.
Yes, but it might take up to 3 days to show after downloading the app for the first time. Your balance will be updated each day after midnight. That said, if your meters aren't communicating with us frequently, your balance might not show at all – or be out of date.
It could be that you don’t have the latest version of the Boost Top-up app. You need to download it (App Store or Google Play) and use it to top-up – your balance will then show after midnight.
One thing to note is that your balance might take up to 3 days to show after downloading the latest version.
There’s also a chance that you can’t see your balance because the connection between us and your smart meters has dropped out, and we’re not receiving data. This might happen on some meters as we experience a few teething problems with the new app. But rest assured, we're looking to fix them as soon as possible. You can find more about this in our troubleshooting FAQs section (below).
The balance feature isn’t available in your internet browser yet, but it’s something we hope to add in the future. Download the app (App Store or Google Play) or read on for alternative ways to view your balance.
The app balance gets updated once a day after midnight. If you've used energy since midnight or if you've topped up since the time your energy balance updated on your app, then your app balance will be out of date.
If your meter isn’t communicating with us, then your balance won't update in the app. But the IHD will communicate from your meter throughout the day to stay up to date.
If we’ve written to ask you to download the Boost Top-up app, please follow the instructions on how to set it up. If we haven’t been in touch about this yet, keep on using the PAYG+ app until you hear from us.
You can do it with your new Boost Top-up app once you’ve downloaded it, just like you topped up with the old one. You can also make payments online, or at any PayPoint shop with your Boost top-up card or by using the barcode in the app.
On PAYG Smart, you’ll need to start topping up your electricity and gas separately – you can choose how much credit you’d like to add to each.
You only need to do this if you’re signing up for a new account.
If we only supply you with electricity:
If we only supply you with gas:
If we supply you with gas and electricity:
When you move from PAYG+ to PAYG Smart, your top-up cards are automatically added to your new app. If you have new cards, just follow the steps above to add them (from Add Smart TopUp card).
Tried to top up this morning on my app an the screen is blank
This has happened to me. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times and it’s not working. My electric will be cut off at 10 in the morning.
please can anyone help
Really sorry to hear about the app issues you’re having. Our first trouble-shooting tip would be to try uninstalling and re-downloading the Boost app - this makes sure you’re using the most up-to date version of the app and often fixes any technical bugs. 
If you’re still not able to access this via the app, it’s worth checking out the browser version.
I’m hoping you manage to get this sorted quickly - if you’re still struggling and at risk of going off-supply give the team a call on 0330 102 7517 or reach out to them via Webchat (by clicking the yellow speech bubble on our Homepage) - They can help get you back on-supply and investigate the issues you’re having with using the app. Don’t forget to pop back and let us know how you get on - this will be really helpful to others with similar issues in future.
I’m trying to login to my account, but when I do it just comes up with the white loading screen and the menu on the left?

Hi. My app is not updating my credit balance. 7th May was the last time it gave an update.
Is it an app issue for everyone or is there something I can do to fix it?
It was working OK up to now fine.
Also what are the best ways to top up if app is frozen?
Thanks

If your balance isn’t updating this could indicate there’s a temporary drop in the communication of your smart meters, in which case you might want to take a look at the guides below.
If there is a communication issue with my SMETS2 meter, is there a way to try and reconnect it first before contacting boost?
I reinstalled the app yesterday but the same problem remains. Its the same on the browser version.
Thanks
Sorry to hear that the initial trouble-shooting hasn’t got the app issues sorted,
Did you run through the checks mentioned in the tutorials above? If so you’ll need to get in touch with the Support Team. As the smart meter communication isn’t something you’re able to resolve yourself, the team will be able to carry out some remote processes or arrange an engineers visit, depending on the results of the ‘smart meter health check’.
The quickest way to reach the team is via our webchat which you can find here.
I hope this helps get things back in communication.
