Top reviews

Absolutely horrible

Shame on me for trying the app despite the negative reviews. The station had me download the app, add money but would not find the station. The app didn’t find a single one of the 8 stations on the lot.

A scam

They ask you to use a refillable card because they know they can pocket the extra when you don’t use it for the one time you have to use this app when you’re unfortunate enough to be stuck with it

Continue to be the worst

Reporting back that these chargers and the app are still truly awful. Maps are non-functional, QR code scanning just produces a spinning wheel of death. Even the tap to pay only works sometimes. It shouldn’t be this hard.

Crashes regularly

Every couple weeks I get a domain error and have to delete and reinstall this app. It is also incredibly slow, even when it does work

Worst app ever

This is the worst app ever. Every screen takes 10+ seconds. It requires an entering an address before adding payment method. No wonder everyone hates non-Tesla EV charging. No thanks.

Unusable. And no pay per use

I couldn’t get it to work. Also require you to load a balance!!!! Instead of pay per use

very slow

beware of making requests for rfid card. i ended up getting charged 4 times becuae of the slow connection. they make you deposit $20

$20 minimum

Unclear if this is an unintentional or intentional scam, but it’s still $20 minimum and you might not be able to actually use it

I think a 4th grader can make a better app

This is the worst app I think I have ever used. Loading times are longer than an unskippable ad, it makes you deposit money in a minimum of $20, and it takes so freaking long to do all this. Why can’t you just quickly tap to pay like other gas or electric stations?? This is why people hate electric car infrastructure. My grandma would’ve filled her gas car 3 times before I even made it halfway thru the steps required to function this goofy software. Absolutely ridiculous and a complete hassle.

Worst ever

Won’t let me create account and charge my rental EV because I don’t have an US phone number

Do not download

Need to go your profile to add an address, then have to go to a different page to manually add card info, gives an incorrect error that address is wrong, deletes your card info and you have to do it all again, for it not to work. Everything else sucks. Drove 10 minutes to a supercharge faster than it was to try to use this app.

SKIP DO NOT USE money gone

Scanned QR code at a Marriot hotel in Santa Clara to charge

You have to top up in $20 increments but the excess amount disappears after a few days
Cannot reach support
App does not display chargers on a map either

Highly suspicious!!

Worse Charging Service Ever!!!

I would give them zero star if I could. Wasted my time

Baffling Obtuse UI

You have to reload balances and Apple Pay is not an option. I had to enter my address to load the card and when I did it said “System Error Kindly Send To Admin” and then loaded the card anyway I guess?

Possibly the most poorly thought out thing I’ve ever seen

Anyone involved in this company, the app and the charger should be deeply ashamed of what they’ve done. Possibly the most infuriating and insultingly useless thing I’ve ever soon.

Scam likely

This is the most unhelpful and terrible app. Took my money but never actually got my car charging. Took $30 from me. As others say it’s a scam

Skip App & Company

Pulled up to their level 2 charger outside Hampton Inn. Using charger’s QR code downloaded this app. On the App’s map it couldn’t find the charger number! Used QR again and it realized it was theirs. I have a hybrid and wanted ~$5. They want a minimum of $20 in your account. I’m not likely to ever use them again. Tried to add the $20 but it tells you to add a card. Won’t just automatically take you to set it up. Try to add on another screen, but it won’t add because the profile is missing the address. Again, doesn’t transfer you to that screen. I gave up because the reviews were bad and this process and cost were ridiculous.

So horrible

Can’t set up a payment card in the app. At the station declining multiple cards. Thanks for wasting my time.

Awful

The app has a bug as it won’t allow you to sign up and has a connection failure error.

Do not use

App never works takes your money and does not charge the car
