Needs serious updates

Saw the advert on an actual ChargeBox in a local hospital, thought it’s a great service providing free charges.
So I downloaded it, and was immediately disappointed.
The search result showed me that the nearest ChargeBox is 7.1 miles away, while I’m happily charging my phone…

Junk

Does not mention any locations of this service (the main reason this app exists). Weird as I just used one of the boxes yesterday so obviously the company is still operating.

Ms

Doesn't even show one charge box even though I am near one! Useless app!

Crashes randomly. Doesn't find even ONE location. Worst App ever!

WOW where to start. This app is basic at best. It isn't expected to do much other than find a charge station near you or near a searched location.

First time I opened it, crashed

Second time I open it, froze

Third time I opened it, searched near me = ZERO results. I thought OK I am in Essex maybe needs to be a major city centre. I then tried a search = crashed

Fourth time, searched again in Central London = ZERO results again then froze.

What a piece of junk lol

Terrible

App won't show locations of charge boxes so if therefore pointless
