If you’re still using this app, watch out—they’ll charge you for free chargers.
This started out as a good app with decent discounts. Now, not so much. And watch out because in many cases they will charge you to use chargers you could use for free. Not worth your time anymore.
Misleading app description
1) app description states .43/kwh; once you’re in the app it shows .50/kwh
2) app description states one free charge/mo; once you’re in the app it shows that promotion is gone.
2) app description states one free charge/mo; once you’re in the app it shows that promotion is gone.
Update description please
App description references free charges which are no longer available based on the FAQ in the app. Also the FAQ mentions a $10 rebate on the first charge but this offer expired in April. Not seeing the value in this relative to other charging apps I have.
Waste
Cannot pay as you go so they end up keeping your in-used funds/cash.
Locations disappear when zooming
App seems fine unintuitive that the locations disappear when zooming and you have to sort through list. Could be inconvenient when traveling.
used to be good
they removed the cool features and made it impossible to log in, can't reset password because it doesn't send a text
False coverage + odd pricing
Not a bad app to use, but disappointed with coverage and pricing. Their website says 80% charging, but no Electrify America and no Tesla, so not sure how that claim is true.
I only see chargepoint listed and (maybe) EVgo. Looks like they’re displaying some EVgo sites, but not saying that in the app. Also, some sites in the native app are a lot cheaper than in their app…
Maybe I’m missing something here 🤔

This app is very flexible with troubleshooting
Awesome app for EV owners
App is great to find chargers and start charging with ease. Thank you. Bluedot
When you close your account they do not refund your entire balance!
Avoid this app. They constantly raise their prices to the point that they are now more expensive than paying directly through the app. Then when I closed my account they only refunded a portion of my cash balance, claiming I’m not eligible to receive the entire balance due to the fact that I used promotions previously. Very sketchy company.

No Longer Worth Your Time, Stopped Competing at Price
Writing this during my last Bluedot charge before deleting the app. This is from the perspective of a personal user, which no longer seems to be Bluedots focus as all of their marketing has pivoted to fleet management. At one point Bluedot gave you EV charging for a flat rate of .30/kwh, a great deal in exchange for having to put in set amounts of money, potentially more than you’d use in a charging session. Whatever was leftover, Bluedot would use to invest or do whatever with. Now, Bluedot’s flat fee is .50/kwh which matches or exceeds what you would pay with the First Party for at least 90% of DCFC chargers. And they still expect you to put in more money than you’ll use for one charge session. Clearly Bluedots original system was not making money, so now they’ve resorted to fleecing the end users. Just download the app for whatever charger you’re using, pay for the exact amount of energy you put in your car, and leave greedy middlemen like Bluedot out of the equation.

Ridiculous price increases
Last year 2024 prior to August I would have given this app five stars in August. They raise the rates and then again in January 20 25 they raise the rates again. The current rate per charging is $.50 a kilowatt hour most chargers in my area charge $.35-$.40 a kilowatt hour. The email they sent everyone about the pricing increase is a complete joke most chargers in my area have actually gone down in price not up. This app used to give free charging days at least once a month I have not seen one since Thanksgiving of 2024. It’s almost February of 2025. I wouldn’t recommend this app to my worst enemy.

Doesn’t work and customer service is useless
And they raised prices again
Rates going up again ?!
This app is no longer competitive price-wise and I will be going back to EvGo. No free charging day in months either. App is buggy and takes a long time for charging to activate. NOT WORTH IT ANYMORE. They’re just as greedy as the rest.
It’s a scam
Bluedot enticed users by offering great perks and charging rates. Now that they have some users they have removed all of the perks and raised the rates without warning. They will lock $10 of your money up in their app. Better rates and perks can be found with other apps with no $10 fee.
Not the same app it was once
Used to have a competitive edge, no more. You’ll be spammed to death- last straw was a come back offer stating they loaded $10 to my account- log in after months and guess what no credit. Support is totally nonexistent.
Best charging app!
Bluedot is best charging app so far! There is no subscription fee and one account for all chargers ❤️ The price is fixed every day and every hour. No surprise..
Janky App
Tried charging at an EVGo station with Bluedot. Didn’t work, no customer service. Now trying to close out my account to get my $40 back and seems like there’s no way to do that. Seems like a scam.
Helps make EV ownership possible
Bluedot is a lifesaver - fast charging rates as low as $.43 / kWh for no monthly fee is a game changer. Seriously amazing.
App issues
I have been unable to login to the app. I input my phone # and when I go to the password section it stays on the number pad and does not switch over the the regular keyboard. Not sure if that is an app issue or not but this is the only app that does that. Before that issue, it was difficult to search and it’s not very user friendly. Wish it could be used while traveling by being in able to put in destinations and search along a route.
