### 3/5 — App support to contact people in app

*2026-08-08, version 3.22.5*

Can you add the ability to alert others that they have overstayed their park ac charging and someone else wants to charge like you can alert other drivers when your likely to end charging thanks

### 2/5 — Why no carplay?

*2026-07-03, version 3.22.0*

It doesn’t make any sense. Would give five stars if they did this simple thing.

### 1/5 — Estimated power

*2026-06-23, version 3.22.0*

Great idea just needs some tweaking can you add min and max for real range or just a max if there’s only one point

### 1/5 — Unable to charge at 3 stations

*2026-06-05, version 3.21.0*

They said had reset but kept failing. Used the RAC one at caravan park but after an hour had done 8%

### 2/5 — Another unintuitive app

*2026-06-04, version 3.21.0*

So I try to charge my car at Chargefox for the first time. Scan the QR code on the charger screen and I have to download 3Mb of updates for the app that I only install a week ago. Open the app and theres a map of where I am an a bunch of unlabelled buttons. Eventually worked out there is a station number on the charger. Search for the number in the app and it found a charger 600km away with the same number. Why would you use the same number for two different stations??? Scrolling down it gave me other chargers with different stations numbers in the parking lot, why not show the station number I searched for at the top of the list? Found the charger with my station number number and then it wanted to know if I was plugged into port A or B. It’s pitch black so I have to use a torch to find the port. This is an unnecessarily complicated process that has been poorly designed and tested.

### 3/5 — Improvements needed

*2026-05-29, version 3.20.0*

The application is generally good and reliable. It is however missing Apple CarPlay support which is sorely needed. Would be great to be able find nearby locations since many in-car navigation systems will find all chargers not a particular network. Also would be good to be able to unlock the charger with app using Apple Wallet or again through Apple CarPlay when you get to the charger.

### 1/5 — Always comes up retry

*2026-05-02, version 3.19.1*

App Developer please do something or give up. App never worked reliably from day one. 

Please fix your bugs with Ai not keep updating with garbage in.

### 1/5 — Double billed me for simultaneous charge

*2026-04-24, version 3.18.1*

I was billed for 2 different charges at the same time. I raised the mistake with support and they agree that it was physically impossible for me to be charging my car at 2 chargers simultaneously - but they plan to keep the money saying I must have selected the wrong charger initially and have paid for someone else’s charge. The app did not show 2 chargers happening simultaneously - and did not show a charge continuing after I left. It’s a pretty poor design if you’re going to charge me for a simultaneous charge - but the app can’t even show that happening (and is obviously a mistake)

### 1/5 — Chargers don’t work

*2026-04-24, version 3.18.1*

Awful experience.  Arrived on low charge and couldn’t get any of their chargers to work!

### 4/5 — Notifications

*2026-04-04, version 3.18.0*

The app is very useful overall, but one key feature that would significantly improve the user experience is real-time notifications for charger availability.

Currently, I have to keep checking the app repeatedly to see if a charger has become free. While the amber and black icons indicate whether a charger is occupied or available, this still requires constant manual monitoring, which isn’t practical.

It would be much more efficient if users could:
	•	Set preferred or frequently used charging locations
	•	Receive push notifications when a charger becomes available at those selected locations.
