BE CAREFUL DON’T GET SCAMMED

Accounts created on the app don’t work on the website and accounts created on the website don’t work on the app

This means if you sign up for a membership on the website it won’t work in the app. And the membership sign up in the app doesn’t work so it’s tempting to run to the website. DONT!

Dissappointed

Location WDFL61 not dispensing. Bummer.

Love it

Awesome

Please don’t purchase these, seriously, Don’t!

This is the slowest charging power bank I've ever purchased. It charged my phone from 30% to 32% in 15 minutes! Really disappointed and I don't understand why this brand is allowed to have kiosks available at reputable places like Disney and Universal. The last non-Fuel Rod power bank I bought on Amazon, from God only knows where, works 100% better and charges faster than these glorified paper weights! I'm going to Universal Studios tomorrow and I will place these in the first kiosk I come across…keep them, don’t want anymore!

Stupid impulse buy

I’ve been trying for weeks to get them to fix the app. Logjn attempts just bring me back to the login page repeatedly. Promise if a $5 bonus for signing up but without getting into the site it can’t be claimed.

Loging in

The app is not letting me log into my account

Charged 9% then died

These used to be free to swap now it’s $3 every time. Really disappointed.

Not bad

I bought my rod at Universal Studios Island of Adventures when my battery level was around 11%. I end up going to 32%. Now and then, I still took pictures, which could have caused the battery charge to slow down. I'm not sure.

Overall, I don't regret buying it because my phone never went out, which kept us safe. It's not suitable for your phone's battery life to go out when you are split from your family. I gave it three stars because I expected my cell phone to have a 50% battery life due to the amount I paid.

Cant Use App

App wont let me login, reset password just to be safe, tried the alternative methods to login and same result just back to logon screen.

I would NOT recommend

I did an impulse buy while at Walt Disney World, and I regret it. I paid $30 plus tax. Each one barely charges the battery, and I must keep swapping them out. When I use their app on my iPhone 14, it keeps crashing. If you haven't bought it yet, I would not recommend it!

Good For A Day Out

I personally bought one off amazon for 22 bucks a few months back and just swap it while i’m out at theme parks. While i do agree that sometimes the pods come out of the machines less than fully charged I do find the 5 dollar swaps much more convenient. Plus you can take them home and recharge them to use daily.

Extremely useful!

I live in the Orlando area and frequently visit the theme parks. I never leave home without my fuel rod. Being able to just swap it for a new one is absolutely amazing. I really love this so much.

Rip off

Gives you 50-75% of a charge, then you have to pay $3 to swap it out after buying it

Way to expensive

The price is way to expensive can go to another store any buy it for much cheaper.

App doesn’t work

Everything says Undefined or Error. No way to login, sign up, view locations. Pretty useless

Great idea, poor execution

Bought my first one In Philadelphia. It powered iPad for about an hour. Was it fully charged when I got it?
Then, in Atlanta I wanted to swap. The app crashed several times. And it said there was a kiosk at F10. There is no forking kiosk
Fail.

Support

I have sent 2 separate support requests - never heard back.

Good idea. Poor execution.

This would be great if it wasn’t such a terrible battery. A “full” pod straight out of the machine only added about 25% charge to my iPhone. For $26 the battery should be good for at least one whole charge! Silly me for assuming the battery would be decent given the price of the kit. Currently regretting my impulse buy at the Boston Logan airport and wishing I could get a refund.

They will overcharge you!

I purchased a membership. They charged me twice and now I’m getting the run around in terms of me getting my money back. They are CROOKS!!!! Buyer BEWARE!

Six Flags

Works well if you buy season passes.
