Ratings and reviews

The app does what it's designed to do, and it seems to be reliable. 5 stars for that. But, it's the GUI of the charge stats that is terrible. More control needed. Most people live with other people, who want you to pay for your KWH. The electricity company doesn't read the meter on the 1st of the month. You have to hold a day to get data from a day, and only while you hold it. Make that clickable. Make the calendar a searchable, like your bank does for transactions. Make the data exportable.

The app used to work great but lately it's encountered significant problems. Mainly, the inability for me to use my phone as a key. I consistently have to remove the app, redownload it, and then scan the QR code on my Tesla to be able to use my phone as a key again. It's extremely frustrating, especially because it can set you back a good five to six minutes on any random occasion. This bug needs to be fixed immediately!

The app doesn't maintain a proper connection to the car. When I attempt to open the doors it doesn't recognize my phone. I have to turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on for it to detect my phone. I have looked at location settings, I see that the option for the permission "Allow Always" doesn't exist. It still doesn't work and I complained about this here for months. OnePlus 12 on Android 15. I have reinstalled the app etc. Still not working.
