App crashes

Crashes every time I try and take a photo with my phone camera. Upload from library is fine

I love this app

I think I’m the only one that uses the app though. Today it’s not working and that makes me sad. ☹️

Good app but ....

Good app seem to be complete . But there is a bug when you push the navigate button . It open map then nothing! No pushpin no route from the current position.

Good app but few bugs could easily be fixed

Power power slider has several problems:
1. Difficult to slide to a specific number
2. Doesn’t show the range as number, and when you tap to check it, you can change the setting
3. The set minimum setting is >, not >= which is what it should be. It’s is NOT setting the minimum power! Rather, it’s minimum-1. If I set it to 10kW, it shows stations of 11kW or higher.
4. Finally, if a station has multiple available power options, it is sorted by it’s lowest power. As a result, a station with 3kW and 50kW options won’t show if I set the bar to 5kW minimum

Response from developer

Thanks for your review. Work has begun to fix these specific issues and they will be addressed in the next update!

Too many bugs and external interface is

Cannot except iPhone 6 X pictures, cannot open/integrate with iPhone camera for taking pictures. Good suggestion would be to document free versus paid services by some color scheme

Good, but...

Good comprehensive list of chargepoints, but app crashes a lot and hangs on welcome screen.

locks up on iPhone 6

Too buggy to use; after touching the center on my location button, it locked up and became unresponsive. I deleted the app.

Confusing

I tried this app for a few minutes then I couldn't search for ev points in the UK as it kept searching all over the world randomly, very confusing and difficult to use

Not a functional app

Partial data and buggy interface. Needs a rewrite.

Broken

The filters don't work at all. Don't waste your time.

Terrible UI. Use PlugShare instead.

This app needs some serious work in the design and UI department.

I'm using a app called PlugShare which is a similar idea to OpenChargeMap but has a fantastic iPhone app with a great UI.

I love the idea of doing this kind of thing in a open source way, but it's just cant compete with PlugShare on a ease of use basis.

At last one that works

I have a ev and zap map has driven me craZy with out of date information or non at all,this one lets users leave comments and update for all users

Well done

Needs help

App has potential but it doesn't take settings well. Many times I tried to filter results and it just refused to keep the settings, sometimes causing the setting to show nothing.

Ok but...

The search produces a list of charging stations but pressing 'map' displays just a blank rectangle...no map.

Bad App

Don't dare follow a link to a supposed charging station supplier. There is no way to return to the app. You have to delete the app and reinstall it.

Buggy and badly designed

Not sure the writers of this have ever had access to an iPad tbh

Barely works
