Paris to Rouen
While this app details much of what an EV driver needs (location and pricing), I did not see where it tells you which chargers work, which do not, and those currently in use. I went to a location with two chargers: fast and normal. Of course the Tesla used the slow charger which left me with only the option to pay more for rapid charge.

Useless
Tried to map a 200 mile route I’ve done tens of times with known chargers and it couldn’t find any solution. Plus the app sign in is awful. It took 5 minutes and multiple attempts to sign in. Don’t waste your time with this app.
Response from developer
Thank you for your review! 😊 We're sorry for this frustrating experience — a route planner that can't find a solution on a familiar route and a slow sign-in process are both issues we take seriously. 🙏 Could you contact us on chargemap.com with the details of your route? Our team will investigate why no solution was found and work to improve this. We'd love the chance to turn this experience around! ⚡
Biggest Con
Biggest Con as you have to sign up to the app, then order a pass from your phone which only works once they send a physical card in the post. Don’t expect to just be able to pull up and charge easily..
Fantastic App
I used Chargemap (and a Chargemap pass) for a 1,500 mile journey from the UK into (and around) France and back again. Having one card that worked on a plethora of different charging networks was a massive benefit (Bye bye range anxiety!!) I would highly recommend.
Frustrating app, passable service
This app is not user friendly and it will not stay logged in. It is filled with glitches and will essentially erase my search. Frankly, 2 stars is generous. Regardless, the network isn't that bad (assuming I can find a charger). I hope they put effort into this or I will stop using it.
Frustrating app
I used this in Corsica for my rental EV.
The good - probably the most popular app for EV charging points. Did let me find various on-street or parking options.
The bad - didn’t let me provide feedback on chargers for some reason, despite having created an account. Lots of little niggles, like resolving to an address that takes you a different location in the satnav, and allowing feedback for some but not others.
The feedback issue particularly makes me wonder how reliable the customer feedback is - if it’s just too hard for people to provide accurate updates.

Chargemap.
Easy to set up and use.
It’s okay….gotten worse
Does it generally help map out charge points yes.
Main issues are charge card stopped working everywhere. Only works at 70% of chargers I’d like to charge at.
Using the app is more of a chore, constant adverts for their premium service.
Getting harder to find charging rates for some chargers. They appear on the map but no rate stated. Overall not fluid to use and it’s easy to get stuck somewhere in the app.
I’ve found better designed apps, with more clear charge rates that work at more chargers I use.

App
Not easy to use. I've been looking for charge points for 5 minutes and I am left looking at a map
Does not work

Não em dolphin mini
Não tem opção de escolha de carro dolphin mini.
Intermittent
Often the route will just go on hold & it says trying to find the best route. But it goes round & round and the route does not appear.
Potential is there
App seems quite good, but as I can’t see an option to change the currency to GBP for UK chargers it’s currently not of much use to me right now compared to other apps that are available. I’m also having some issues with deleting my account which is far from ideal.

Very easy with RFID card!
Pretty useless (still) in Australia.
Two years later, and still hundreds of locations missing. This app is useless in Australia. Deleted.
Un petit quelque chose en plus…
Utilisateur occasionnel depuis 3 ans j’apprécie la dynamique positive de Chargemap et ses nombreuses fonctionnalités et améliorations. Bravo👏 aux techs développeurs !
Une suggestion, ajouter un simple picto dans la bulle signalant les bornes sur autoroute par ex flèche gauche sens « montant » par rapport à la carte et à droite « descendant ». On trouve l’info dans la partie détails de la description de la borne mais avoir un visu direct sur la carte serait sympa! 😊 merci à vous et continuez à nous faciliter la vie électrique ⚡️ !!!

L’app non è flessibile
L’app non è molto intelligente. Dovè il pulsante “prossimo punto di ricarimento piu vicino” quando sono esatamente vicino a uno che non funziona???
Ci sono troppi distrazioni nell’app. No fa bene ciò che deve fare

Doesn’t work with iPhone SE
Tried several times to contact the company for help but nothing happened. Very disappointed as I wanted to set up a fairly long trip and needed to know where to charge.
Charging rates 2x 3x higher than other apps
Honestly don’t know how anyone could think that is correct to double or sometimes even triple the charging rates via this app.
Have a look at the alternative charging apps and you will see the massive difference in the price

Poor
Incomplete map of chargers in UK. Some wrong information. Expensive prices.
