### 5/5 — Awesome App! Perfect for Jeep Life too!

*2025-12-04*

On a roadtrip in Texas and needed an outlet to use a portable carpet shampooer and I’m so so so impressed! The app even said where the outlets were exactly and there were plenty of them! I needed this so much Thank you!

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2025-10-12*

App will open but then quickly close cannot get needed information

### 3/5 — Great idea but issues

*2025-06-11*

I used the app and it seemed to work great initially. But now the app loads and starts to zoom in on the map and then crashes. An uninstall and reinstall doesn’t even fix it. Please fix it.

### 5/5 — Brilliant, Versatile Resource

*2025-05-13*

It’s a simple app but I cannot underestimate what a valuable resource it is. I think much of the negative feedback stems from the fact that it’s not meant to be a complex app. If the map is empty in your neighborhood, do your best to fill it in!!

Seriously, though, a map of free outdoor outlets is incredibly useful for someone like myself who just prefers to work outside. I love contributing when I find a new outlet, and I love when others do as well. But for those in more dire circumstances, free access to power can be a big deal. Consider downloading the app just to help out others, especially those most in need!

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-04-12*

Crashes everytime i try to add an outlet spot. No wonder my whole city shows it has 1 outlet.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-02-12*

I’m a nomad and have to refill my electric generator pretty often. This app has helped me find some fun cool locations. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Thank you! Helpful

*2024-09-28*

Power went out unexpectedly during a storm. This was super helpful to locate a public outlet. Thank you so much! 👍🏼 Stacy B in Ohio

### 5/5 — Best Idea!

*2024-01-26*

Works great for my area!

### 1/5 — Dead outlets

*2023-07-17*

App is a Nice Idea but poorly executed

Don’t waste your time downloading this app.
You would be better off searching for common places to find outlets.
State Park Campground Bathrooms (many times working)
Starbucks (Call to see if they Hate on the homeless and have removed outlets or not)
*Safeway (sometimes on outside of bldg by the tables…Eureka has one)
Public Libraries
Buses/Bus Stops/Transit Stops (sometimes)
*Taco Bell (in Pacifica, Ca)
*KFC (Port Hueneme, CA)
Coffee shops
Tesla Charging Stations (Especially ones at State Parks)

*becuz I have found One….I’d search others for the rare outlet.

### 1/5 — Crap App!

*2023-07-17*

This app doesn’t show you where there are electrical outlets near you.  Super unhelpful!
