£25

I only wanted to use a power bank for like 30 mins what it like £2 but it ended up charging me £25 deposit!!! I returned it over a week ago and still not got it back! I am very not happy with this!

Bit patchy

Used a ChargedUp in London - it’s hard to find the exact place where the are somewhere as busy as central London. I also had problems returning the charger - I found a place with a space but the machine would not accept the charger. I went to another location which didn’t have a space according to the app - luckily it did. Apart from those issues, it’s brilliant to have access to a power bank without having to buy one.

Won’t let me log in

When I enter my phone number and name it just says “hmm log in”…but there is nowhere to log in.

So I’ve just tried to enter my phone number and name again. Same thing again.

Scam

Charged 2% then stopped working. Scan. Avoid at all costs

DO NOT RELY ON THIS APP

It always says on the bar, to find them, regardless of how many bars the place has. In 2025 it can’t be that hard to add more info. They are never there even though they say they are. Use Joos instead
