Payment Bad

Did not let me pay and was super annoying.

Why is it so difficult to use?

This app has been incredibly frustrating to use.

The in-app QR code reader kept sending me directly to the App Store instead of connecting me to the charger. I tried using the generated code instead, and it told me the code could not be used at that time.

I also tried paying with my credit card, but the charger wouldn’t accept it. I used the exact same card an hour later for lunch with no problem. Strangely, the charger can read the card through my iPhone Wallet, but it can’t find its own App and process through it.

Either fix the system or get another vendor in here. I live in Florida and am a magnet for mosquitoes, so standing around getting eaten alive while repeatedly trying to log in and start a charge is ridiculous—especially since I created an account a long time ago.

I think I’ve used Blink Charging stations three or four times now, and I’ve had essentially the same frustrating experience every time. Unfortunately, Blink is the only charging option in this parking structure.

If Blink didn’t have a monopoly on this location, I’d drop it like a bad habit.

No longer working

App is no longer allowing me to start a charging session after recent update. Getting an error message on multiple chargers.

Expensive

Costs double what a Tesla supercharger would cost. L2 destination charger.

Horrendous onboarding

Horrendous onboarding flow

Difficult to navigate

I recently stayed at Terra Luna resort at Universal Studios and they had Blink chargers in their parking lot. First of all, the app could not locate those particular chargers even though I was literally standing in Front of one. I had to find the serial number and type it in Secondly, it is NOT a supercharger and was going to take 6+ hours to complete the charge and would not have been finished until 4:00am. It was unclear if idling charges would apply and I was not about to wake up at 4 in the morning while I was on vacation, so I got in my car and drove 6 minutes to the nearest Tesla supercharger. Much less headache.
20 minutes of my life I will not get back.

Nothing happened

Plugged it into the car, clicked start on the app. There was a count down, I walk away. Checked app and no charge was going. So I stopped and gave up

Garbage

Not worth the time to bother setting up. Took 10 minutes to get all the way set up and to with the charger and then it wouldn’t work anyway. No one wants this, get rid of this and just put a card reader on the charger, like every gas pump on earth.

Doesn’t support Apple Pay

Why does EV charging have to be this bad? With gas I go to a pump with my physical card and leave with fuel. Whit this horrible company I need to provide my email, cc number, address and I don’t know what else. I can’t just use Apple Pay for a streamline experience (at the station or through the app it forces you to register your cc number).

Absolutely horrible app.

Charge too

This charger is a slow charger

Disappointed

Charging very slow. Stopped during charge. Had to call service number who reconnected with little explanation of problem at charging station. Previous attempt to charge at Burton Barr library impossible. All screen’s unreadable and station not maintained

Changing app experience

Very difficult to use this app took me two nights in order on being able to charge my car

Not good

Doesn’t work, no autofill

Difficult to use did not work or charge

Difficult to use and did not charge my car

Always telling me the my vehicle has stopped charging

Every time I charge with blink, about 20 or so minutes later I get a notification saying my vehicle has finished charging and I need to move my vehicle or fees will apply. This happens with both my vehicles so it’s not my end. I go to my vehicles app and it says it’s still charging and this app still says I’m charging. I have deleted and re-dl the app but it still happens. It’s annoying because there are times I don’t believe it but my vehicle did finish charging and I get charged the fees.

Charger screen facing South in the sun is hard to read

Charger here works well but screen facing south on sunny days is almost impossible to read

bad experience

super hard to use

Why so many logins

So much time to just pay for service! This is insanely painful

Worthless Junk

Ever notice how this app is #51’st place?

It’s because their pumps are junk. The dealerships don’t fix them and navigation apps to find electricity for one’s EV car they don’t show their blips on the map!

Drive on!!

Deceiving

Station says it’s free, then starts charging you when you step away.
