### 2/5 — Level 2 Charge Access

*2026-08-16, version 7.37.0*

Information on your website is incorrect!  Spent hours trying to find the sites listed on your maps only to find they aren’t there!  I didn’t get the memo!!  Why can’t you give accurate information?  Seems like you’ve your map shows e- bike charging stations— not level 2 Charging Stations for my BMW hybrid!!

### 1/5 — Never Helpful

*2026-08-15, version 7.37.0*

Doesn't find any chargers when I know they exist

### 2/5 — Not dependable

*2026-08-15, version 7.37.0*

Fails to find Tesla chargers despite my filter parameters requesting Tesla. We had better luck using Tesla app or Google maps.

### 5/5 — Useful information on chargers

*2026-08-14, version 7.37.0*

I wouldn’t drive without this app

### 4/5 — A couple of things would make it perfect.

*2026-08-11, version 7.37.0*

I’m thinking of getting an EV, and this app came highly recommended by my friends who have one. There are two things I think it needs:

1) Allow me to use the search bar while making a Trip. If I have a planned hotel, I should be able to add it so I don’t have to switch apps to map to it. 

2) Let me add an adapter to my car’s profile. If I have a J1772 vehicle, the app should give me an option to not filter Tesla if I have a NACS adapter.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-11, version 7.37.0*

This is by far the best app for finding chargers that I found. Even among the brand specific apps, this one still has head and shoulders about the rest.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-11, version 7.37.0*

What a fantastic app for EV drivers. Very happy , trip planning is so easy 👌🏼

### 5/5 — Never failed

*2026-08-11, version 7.37.0*

Awesome app and has been a game changer, dont know what ild do without it.

### 5/5 — EV built in

*2026-08-09, version 7.37.0*

Better than any built in EV map

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2026-08-07, version 7.37.0*

Absolutely terrible app when you actually need a charger. It repeatedly directs you to charging stations that are unusable or, even worse, don’t exist at all. When your battery is critically low, bad information like this is unacceptable. Completely unreliable.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 7.37.0 — 2026-08-04

Consider this one a quick top-up: a couple of bugs squashed and a few rough edges smoothed out. Small changes, but they all help us keep charging ahead:
• Better vehicle setup: We added some behind-the-scenes improvements to the "add a vehicle" flow so we can better understand how you set up your rides and make that experience even smoother over time.
• No more phantom map errors: Panning and zooming quickly could briefly flash an error about retrieving locations, even though your stations were loading just fine a second later. That false alarm is gone.
• More reliable surveys: Opening a survey from a notification could occasionally land on a blank screen. We fixed the timing issue behind it, so surveys now load dependably.
• Sturdier under the hood: We sharpened our own error reporting so we can spot and squash issues like these faster.
Thanks for helping keep the world's EV map accurate and up to date. Happy charging!

### 7.36.1 — 2026-07-14

We've been busy fine-tuning things behind the scenes! This maintenance release brings a few small-but-mighty improvements:

- Smoother photo uploads: We added some extra behind-the-scenes diagnostics to help us pinpoint and squash any hiccups when you share location photos. The more you upload, the sharper the community picture gets!
- Steadier power filters: We made some under-the-hood improvements to the charging power filter so your saved slider settings always stay right where you left them, even as we roll out updates over time.
- Tidier station editing: We fixed a small glitch in the Edit Station summary that could pop up when adding a station on certain charging networks. Editing location details is a little more seamless now.

Thanks for helping keep the world's EV map accurate and up to date. Happy charging!

### 7.36.0 — 2026-07-01

We've been hard at work keeping things charged up! This release brings a few thoughtful improvements:

- Cleaner charging network info: When you add or edit a charging location, some networks are now locked or reviewed by our admin team first. It's our way of keeping location details accurate and trustworthy for everyone.
- Easier-to-read Review Summaries: We've bumped up the font size in the new Review Summary sections on Location Detail screens, so the highlights are easier to take in at a glance.
- Clearer "Report Summary" button: That little flag icon for reporting an issue with a review summary? It's now a plain "Report Summary" button, so there's no guessing what it does.
- Polished alignment: We tidied up a small visual hiccup that occasionally nudged informational tags out of line on Location Detail screens.
- Smoother and more stable: We squashed some bugs that could cause crashes during sign-in and in the location photo gallery. Now you can power up worry-free.

### 7.35.1 — 2026-05-30

- Spot a charging pin that's off the mark? Now you can flag it directly from the location detail screen. Tap to confirm it looks right, or pull up our new reporting screen to let us know exactly where it should be.
- Pinch-to-zoom behavior improved when viewing location photos from the gallery
- This release fixes threading issues that caused some app crashes

### 7.35.0 — 2026-05-27

- Spot a charging pin that's off the mark? Now you can flag it directly from the location detail screen. Tap to confirm it looks right, or pull up our new reporting screen to let us know exactly where it should be.
- This release also fixes the pinch-to-zoom behavior when viewing location photos from the gallery.
