## What is ICS2.0Lite?

For installations that do not require ‘pay for use’ charging, fleet management, or sophisticated event-based load management for numerous charge stations, iCS provide a free to use software platform for configuring and using charge station(s) through a smartphone or tablet.
The ICS2.0Lite software is preconfigured as standard to the intelligent range of iCS charge stations (excluding the ICSW7B) enabling straightforward connection through the WiFi hotspot created by the charge station.
There are two distinct password-protected login areas for Engineer & Driver use.
Engineer:
The Engineer area allows for full configuration of the charge station for online or offline use. Many of the default settings will not require changing, however full flexibility of control is permitted.
Driver:
For Drivers to access this the charge station will need to be connected to the
ICS2.0Lite backend. For greater connectivity options, many of the iCS intelligent charge stations now have added WiFi capability, resulting in a straightforward process by using the owner’s broadband connection. Subsequently, there is also the option to connect by Ethernet cable or with a data-only sim card. Once connected the software allows for full control of the charge station, including starting/stopping charge sessions, the timing of charge sessions to coincide with lower energy tariffs, and viewing of historic charge session information.

### 1/5 — Only works sometimes

*2026-04-04, version 1.8.6*

It’s ok. When it works. And even when it does, it’s really clunky to use. 
Haven’t been able to change since the clocks changed last weekend and the support is woeful. 
The fact that they boast on their website that they have industry leading software is laughable.
With hindsight, would avoid. If I wrote software this bad, I’d be fired.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-06-28, version 1.8.6*

The ICS system has been changed once and now within a month the system has thrown yet another wobbly. Can’t even access the app now having to use a local charging network at over 10 times the cost. What a waist £1100 having this system installed, frustrating to say the least😤

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-06-28, version 1.8.6*

Very poor.
Really wouldn’t recommend this charger or app. 
Charger regularly drops off from WiFi so bought a sim card for the charger - still drops off.
The cards - seems to reset and don’t work.
And as for the app.. don’t get me started - yet again in a situation where the app is frozen and I can’t log in to charge the car.

### 1/5 — Only works sometimes

*2025-06-28, version 1.8.6*

It’s ok. When it works. And even when it does, it’s really clunky to use. The fact that they boast on their website that they have industry leading software is laughable. 
Currently can’t log in at all otherwise the review might have been 2 stars. 
With hindsight, would avoid. If I wrote software this bad, I’d be fired.

### 1/5 — Not letting me log in so can’t charge

*2025-06-28, version 1.8.6*

App and phone both up to date, WiFi working. When I try and log into app it just times out so I can’t travel now today because the car hasn’t charged overnight. Not a very good system/app.

### 2/5 — Poor

*2025-04-25, version 1.8.6*

Installing the app and adding the charge point via Bluetooth is relatively straightforward. Adding WiFi details is awkward. There is little in the way of positive confirmation that the WiFi details have been accepted, and if they have not, the app just replaces them with defaults. Once you have it connected and the app reports the charger is online, the app then crashes if you attempt to change any settings. Dreadful.

### 1/5 — Probably the worst App on my phone

*2025-04-18, version 1.8.6*

If I had a choice to install another charger I would do the research on which one was easiest to use. ICS is poor..

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2025-03-21, version 1.8.2*

I’m not sure what all the negative reviews are about , I have installed an ICS charger which was straight forward and looks great . I was disappointed when I came to download the app and seen all the negative reviews . However the app is simple to use, works faultlessly. Maybe others are having IP and setup issues. Some of the set up options are a little confusing but apart from that a great experience.

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2025-01-22, version 1.8.2*

This app is full of bugs and is frustrating to use.

### 5/5 — Works.

*2024-09-02, version 1.8.2*

App works perfectly.

After reading the bad reviews I can only imagine it is user error.
