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… ### 1/5 — Junk *2016-03-15, version 2.0.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Ms *2015-10-20, version 2.0.1* Doesn't even show one charge box even though I am near one! Useless app! ### 1/5 — Crashes randomly. Doesn't find even ONE location. Worst App ever! *2015-05-01, version 2.0.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-04-17, version 2.0.1* App won't show locations of charge boxes so if therefore pointless ### 5/5 — G-star2011 *2015-02-20, version 2.0.1* This app helped me a lot. ### 5/5 — Low Battery *2010-10-17, version 0* about time someone came up with this solution - well done ### 5/5 — Very useful- a lifesaver! *2010-10-11, version 0* This is a brilliant app. I often forget my charger and have a low battery but for various work and home can't afford to run out and be out of contact! This shows me where I can charge up my battery really easily and then uses google maps to show you how to get there. Fantastic!! ### 5/5 — ChargeBox low battery App *2010-10-05, version 0* What a find! So useful to know that you can recharge your phone on the go. A great app. I love it! ## Frequently asked questions about ChargeBox ### How does ChargeBox help me find a charger? ChargeBox displays the closest charging station to your current location.
