### 1/5 — Stop Making us Download Your App

*2026-08-14, version 9.1.19*

No one wants to download your scummy junk mail producing app. Let me pay to use your charger and leave me the hell alone.

### 1/5 — It’s been years since I’ve seen an app this bad

*2026-07-12, version 9.1.19*

If EV charging weren’t a more modern phenomenon, I’d assume this app was designed before 2010. No support for Apple Pay,  iPhone autofill completely breaks the registration form, but it doesn’t matter since account registration is completely broken… Asks for a credit card, and no matter what card you give it, it will “fail to authorize”. For some reason a card authorization is required to even create an account, but it rejects ANY valid card. It’s probably for the best as if their app is this terrible, you know there are going to be practically zero safeguards in place to protect your personal information, which they ask for an unusual amount of.

If you have the choice, I’d suggest charging elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Charger kidnapped my car

*2026-06-28, version 8.7.0*

When I reached the 80% charge on my car, I swiped in the app to end my session. Nothing happened! I was stuck. The charger was locked on my car and it kept charging. No button mashing worked to free my car. I called the help number and she seemed pretty lost. After she put me on hold for a long while, the charger finally stopped when I reached 93% (15 minutes after I initially hit the button in the app to stop charging) so I freed my car and ran away as fast as possible!

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Even Accept Payment Form

*2026-06-05, version 8.7.0*

Downloaded this required app at the Circle K Chargers, which look very nice. Setup an account. Entered credit card. 
Error
Tried it again. 
Error
Tried a different card. 
Error
Drove 10 minutes away to a different brand charger. Card worked just fine. 
Circle K, if you’re not going to let us pay at the charger, your app should work.

### 1/5 — Horrible app, cannot charge car

*2026-05-30, version 8.7.0*

This thing is so broken it takes 5 times to connect, then when it does it charges for 1 to 2 minutes then shuts off. Do not charge here. Dont be stupid like me, read the reviews first!

### 1/5 — Is this app a SCAM?

*2026-05-07, version 8.7.0*

Went through all of the CC in my wallet. 

Wouldn’t take any of them….

Probably collected my info and sold it on the dark web.

### 1/5 — Privacy nightmare

*2026-05-03, version 8.7.0*

Do you really need my name, email, phone number, and home address to let me put a credit card in to charge my car? Other chargers let you tap a card, this is just data fishing

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-05-03, version 8.7.0*

Nothing works. Charging stations near me won’t activate. Will never use again

### 1/5 — Just let me tap to pay instead… $100 lost to app

*2026-05-02, version 8.7.0*

Have to dispute with the bank to retrieve $100 (two $50 holds that didn’t release). App doesn’t work, charged for 4 minutes and stopped twice.

### 2/5 — Stops After 2 Min

*2026-04-18, version 8.7.0*

I think there is a problem with the app that is telling the charger to stop after exactly two minutes. Tried multiple stations and multiple times with the same result every time. Shame on Circle K for hobbling its own charge stations. Please just let me pay with my credit card at the machine! Why do we have to bring malfunctioning apps and phones into this transaction? Even the oil barons aren't this cruel.
