### 1/5 — Woeful

*2026-08-09, version 1.1*

As per other reviews, looks like it’s been written by a child. The entire registration process requires every element being typed in with no auto population available. 

Once registered, well in advance, went to the Geniepoint charger and it came up on the app as faulty as soon as I plugged my car in. 

No advanced warning that it was out of service. 

Don’t waste your time with this junk app and charging network.

### 4/5 — Worst charging app

*2026-07-26, version 1.1*

I wouldn’t even give this app 1 star it is so bad. I’ve given up using their charging points. Everytime I try to use the actual app I get a message that my password has expired and I need to set a new one. It then takes forever to try (and usually fail) to set up a new password. You can’t even use the option to log on as a guest because it always comes up with a fault. 
Maybe the makers of this app should be aware it’s for an electric charging point… no-one wants to spend 30 minutes in a car park trying to log on before they even start a charge.  Surely it can’t be that hard to design something that is intuitive and user friendly

### 1/5 — This app needs work

*2026-07-25, version 1.1*

This app is very bad and outdated. 
Buttons don’t work. 
You get logged out after each charge session. 
In 2026 this may be the worst charging app I’ve ever used.

### 1/5 — Utterly awful

*2026-07-18, version 1.1*

Why do I need to register with an app, give over all my personal information, and waste a huge amount of time and energy to charge my car? Awful experience, awful app. At least it did eventually charge my car

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible

*2026-06-29, version 1.1*

Possibly the worst out there. How can it need so many details and screens just to get charging? Information in App doesn’t correlate to charger information. Would’ve been hard to make it worse if they’d tried

### 1/5 — Unworkable

*2026-06-10, version 1.1*

Absolutely rubbish. The level of personal information they want is unbelievable. So time consuming and then it doesn’t even work. At these prices you should just be able to use a bank card. Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Awful user experience

*2026-04-28, version 1.1*

Sadly I have to use this app every working day and each and every time I have to re-enter my credentials. Why? Who knows. Certainly not their support desk. This app has to do almost nothing, requires almost no features, yet it still manages to do everything poorly - almost hostile to the user.

### 2/5 — Unclear signage and FAQ

*2026-04-02, version 1.1*

Got the CCS charger to work and app worked alright. However beware: got an overstay charge for going just over 1.5hrs. Signage on the app and FAQs was not clear and mixed with overstay charge after unplugging.

### 1/5 — Horrendously Clunky

*2026-03-26, version 1.1*

Just about manageable if you setup everything in advance, but the user experience is horrendous on just about every level. I only use it as my workplace has a GeniePoint charger which is cheaper than most public chargers. I’d avoid like the plague if I had the choice.

### 1/5 — Worst up I ever use - stay away from these!!

*2026-02-04, version 1.1*

This is going to annoy you big time. Don’t use Genie Point!!!
