### 5/5 — Easy as it gets!

*2026-08-08, version 2.360.2*

After purchasing my first electric vehicle and not being able to charge at home, I have found Ionity station nearby and it has been great, I have got a membership and that brings price per charge down considerably, it is a no brainer for myself to be able charge my vehicle with Ionity.

### 1/5 — Failing setup

*2026-07-31, version 2.343.3*

I’ve downloaded the app and gone through registration however it fails each and every time despite entering the correct code. Frustrating.

### 3/5 — Include option to add actual consumption in route planning

*2026-07-26, version 2.343.3*

This app is useful to identify IONITY charge points, but is nearly useless for route planning in my experience as “range” adjustment facility requires a lot of back-calculation to input consumption and always ends up being miles off. Like the IONITY network for the number of chargers and subscription, but this app lets IONITY down for route planning.

### 5/5 — IONITY card

*2026-07-09, version 2.343.0*

Straight forward to activate

### 1/5 — Unable to install on iPhone

*2026-07-09, version 2.343.0*

Despite numerous attempts I have been unable to install on my iPhone 13. Shame as there’s a IONITY charger close to me and on my regular journeys

### 1/5 — iPhone X

*2026-06-01, version 1.19.0*

No longer seems to work

### 5/5 — Good experience!

*2026-05-19, version 2.276.6*

Overall good experience and nice coverage of stations !

### 1/5 — Mr Jonas

*2026-05-17, version 2.266.1*

Well price shocking for charge 85 pi kwh
Use tesla only if you can because this Ionity very expensive

### 4/5 — Très bien mais manque l’affichage dans CarPlay

*2026-05-08*

Application complète qui permet de prendre un abonnement et de consommer tout de suite. Un planificateur de trajet est inclut mais pas d’affichage CarPlay c’est dommage alors que les concurrents les font bien.

### 4/5 — Quelques manques

*2026-04-21*

Bonne application, mais il manque 2 infos sur l’historique des charges : la durée de la charge et la puissance moyenne.

En effet, ces infos sont utiles pour se souvenir de la qualité de délivrance de la charge, même si cela n’a rien à voir avec l’App, mais souvent la borne ne délivre pas la puissance attendue alors que l’on est seul et que son véhicule  XPENG est capable de charger fort.
Peut-être que IONITY utilise cette métrique pour savoir si la borne est opérationnelle sur la promesse ? Si ce n’est pas le cas, c’est dommage, car cela aiderait aussi le conducteur dans son choix d’arrêt. 
Bref, une info de plus à ajouter dans l’App.
