### 2/5 — Charges absolutely ridiculously slow

*2026-07-30, version 8.2.8*

Would only use if I was super desperate because price isn't bad. Probably charges so slow becuase they want you to use another 30 minutes. Bad product. Been charging for

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-07-02, version 8.2.7*

App Randomly Logged me out one day and from then on it Immediately Asks me for my Phone Number to send a Confimation, that NEVER Arrives. Even after deleting the app and re-installing. Even after scanning the QR codes on the battery dispenser stations. This App is a Bust.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2026-06-17, version 8.2.6*

I’d recommend you avoid using this. The app is not useful, showing stations with open slots and in places where they don’t even exist. It really ruined my experience when I spent hours trying to return the device to have to mail it back in the end because there was literally nowhere to return it (in Vegas). Mailing it cost me $10 and at the end of the day they would only refund me $20. So essentially in the end I was out about $40 extra.

### 1/5 — AVOID. Crooks. Mystery phone bill charges!!!

*2026-06-07, version 8.2.5*

The charger pack stopped working after an hour, ran around for hours trying to find a space to return the charger without success, and got charged £4 an hour for that time, (charged £20 in all for just 1 hour’s charge). The only customer support option is a link directing your phone to text an American phone number! I sent one single text due my panic when I was unable to return the charger, no reply, and my mobile provider has charged me for NINE out-of-contract messages today??!! Huh??? What have Fuze done??? Charged me for their non help!? The fact my toddler broke our home charging lead that we brought with us ultimately cost us £21.62. Fuze has given me no choice, but to have to write it off all this money (and block their number), else I’ll pay more mobile charges (how is this allowed?). I was desperate and needed to use the Access pass I had on my phone, and it feels like this company tries to take advantage and scam you out as out of more money than you could reasonably expect. Awful and stressful.

### 1/5 — Horrible system

*2026-05-09, version 8.2.3*

I wanted to return a charger and the app said there’s a slot available at the station. I came to the station there’s none and now the customer service agent is telling me that I can come back within three days to return it or mail it. Somehow I am responsible for returning it. How do they expect this system to work, it’s crazy.

### 1/5 — Worst service ever

*2026-04-10, version 7.4.0*

Don’t even try to use this

### 2/5 — Terribly designed app, difficult to return

*2025-09-26, version 7.4.0*

Very few return locations, and most are completely full. The app doesn’t show you which are full or not so you have to just hunt for one. Forced to download an app and give location permissions to use basic functionality. Slow.

### 1/5 — BEWARE PREDATORY MARKETING

*2025-07-15, version 7.4.0*

I thought I was renting a 8 dollar charger and was charged my last 30 dollars. I’m a single mother in the streets and I needed that money for the bus and food for my kid.

### 1/5 — Didn’t charge my phone and got no refund

*2025-05-18, version 7.3.0*

I paid $8 to rent a charger but the charger died before my phone was even halfway charged. They did not refund me or let me replace it with a working charger when I reached out to customer service

### 1/5 — Poor map / not updated

*2025-04-24, version 7.3.0*

Went to a location that had multiple boxes available on the app, turns out it was the company headquarters in LA and they have all these false boxes on the app that you can’t access. Then the customer support line agent Roy was completely unhelpful. Got some bugs to work out for sure.
