Really fast to start charging. Cannot fault. ### 5/5 — Easy Charging *2026-07-27* The Exploren app does exactly what it promises. It connects seamlessly to its charging network, tracks your data accurately, and handles payments securely. Design is functional but its reliability makes it a good download for Australian EV road trips or top ups around the city. ### 5/5 — Load Management System *2026-07-25* I really love how the app shows me the energy management stats during fleet charging. ### 1/5 — Another unnecessary EV charging app *2026-07-01* Exploren is a perfect example of what is wrong with public EV charging in Australia. Nobody wants to download yet another single-network charging app just to use a charger. Chargefox RFID cards and roaming should be supported as standard. Forcing drivers to create another account, install another app, add another payment method, and deal with yet another interface is poor user experience and completely unnecessary. EV charging should be simple: plug in, tap an RFID card or card payment, and charge. Instead, Exploren adds more friction to an already fragmented charging network. Stop making EV drivers collect apps like Pokémon. Accept Chargefox RFID cards, enable proper roaming, or offer simple card payment at the charger. ### 2/5 — Missing exit button *2026-05-28* There is no way to exit to Map again after pressing three horizontal bars menu icon. Does someone check the iOS app and see if it’s working properly? ### 2/5 — Terrible *2026-04-22* Where to start. Everything about this app is difficult. We say in a cafe for a hour watching the app say it was charging only to get back and find that no charge had taken place. In the help section on the app, could not get out of it. Could not get any information on what charging had supposedly taken place. Terrible app! ### 1/5 — In able to open app., *2026-03-23, version 3.156.0* Having used app for months a few days ago I was unable to open app. I’ll use other charging systems. ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-03-19, version 3.156.0* Forced he to update app now doesn’t work. Bring on card payments. Useless apps are pain. ### 1/5 — Logging into the app! *2025-12-16, version 3.108.1* Needs to be more user friendly when logging into app such as passcode takes longer to log into the app than charging the car!! ### 1/5 — App stuck on ending *2025-12-01, version 3.104.0* App stuck on ending indefinitely ## Frequently asked questions about Exploren ### What does the Exploren app do?
