Good app but an annoying issue

The departure time I set kept changing by itself.

Beyond terrible

If you are looking for unpredictable and frustrating attempts at charging your car, turn this garbage on. Most of the time the car won’t charge up or you won’t get any credits for no known reason. If I could give this app -1000, I would. Shockingly bad and untested.

Frustrating and Problematic

After almost a year using the this App (and supposedly earning over $50 in rewards, which I never received), I dropped out of the program. Settings would change for no known reason resulting in the battery not being charged when you needed it to be. The Charge Immediately option sometimes worked, sometimes didn’t. Very frustrating.

Needs Serious Improvement

This app should be integrated more seamlessly with the My BMW app for EVs. The settings in the ChargeForward app have to be manipulated constantly or the vehicle will not charge. This app causes constant notifications to alert users that the “charging restarted” or the “charging paused” when the EV is plugged in. Ideally users should be able to set it and forget it with the expectation that charging occurred during non-peak hours at the set charge percentage. Also would be nice if the app didn’t constantly log out.

Worst EV App Ever Do NOT install

This is the most horrible app ever do not install. It will ruin all of your charge settings. It will not allow the car to precondition. It will not help your efficiency probably one of the worst software applications ever.
