About this app

The Outlet Finder app helps you locate electrical outlets and wall sockets available for public use. All you need to do is bring your cord, and let our app find where you can plug into. Get the charge you need to restore battery life for your phone, tablet, laptop, skateboard, scooter, e-commute device, and more!

Features:
- Search your area for outlet and socket locations
- Outlets and sockets can be labelled for Indoor/Outdoor environments and 24 Hour availability
- Get directions for an outlet or socket via Google Maps
- Sign up to submit outlets yourself!

All outlets and wall sockets are submitted by app users. We do not own or operate any of the outlets shown through this app and advise you to be courteous to any businesses that permit you to use their electricity. There are currently 600 submitted outlets and counting! If there are no outlets or sockets in your area, please consider submitting some.

Ratings and reviews

It needs better mapping, you cant get precise locations. It's a great app with high prospects if people use it. Some outlets are not in the right spot, others are labels incorrectly. I just use the app to find & submit locations for people like myself who are homeless and this information can truly help a lot of people living in these streets. Thank you for your response.

Just downloaded the app because in the reviews the app's developer replied to someone saying he updated it so you don't have to allow location access. Well, when I open the app it says allowing location permissions is "not required, but helps with ad revenue." But then when I tap the only other option "not right now" it immediately closes the app every time. So that's shady and not cool.

This is a fantastic concept for an app. It's exactly what I was looking for. I can't wait until enough people use it and contribute to it to make it more useful. I personally don't like that it requires location data (I should be able to just pick a location -- I can move the map around anyway). I also don't like that it requires association with my Google account. Sometimes people like to keep things low key. I'd prefer some in app method of unique ID and verification.
