Ratings and reviews

Impressively buggy app. I've used it a few times across several years. I always have trouble starting to charge. The last time it somehow crashed my camera, so I had to type in the barcode, the app said the stall was out of service, but then seemed to try charging, so I plugged in my car and it charged for a few hours before stopping. But the app still says it's charging. Just all around poor UX and buggy.

It is difficult to set up. Also, when you scan the QR code at the station, it doesn't even go to the app. it just copied the station number. Payments are NOT easy to use because it is not linked through a major payment system like PayPal or Wallet. In this day and age, should be able to use a shielded payment system for customer protection.

Lacks basic functionality. The map, which has been in the app for over a year still does not tell you the price and what type of stations a location services. On top of this it also does not account for faulted chargers, amongst other things. Finding useful information with this app prior to a site visit is a crapshoot, and I end up using plugshare to find out instead. App is good for enabling PF chargers and giving them your data. Note: most PF chargers are L2, so expect to sit a while.
