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.

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.

Stopped at a charging station with many, many chargers, none of them were working. When I called customer support, they didn't even know that the station wasn't operational until half an hour into talking with them. They were unable to direct me to their other charging station supposedly at the same address. Their app doesn't show you the progress of charging, despite having a meter to do that, and their map doesn't even show the charging station I am currently at, much less any others nearby.

Thanks for charging with PowerFlex! This version includes many bug fixes, as well as changes to the session screen and how we display data.
