### 4/5 — Poor

*2026-07-11*

App keeps disconnecting from WiFi then takes multiple resets & app see’s charger but won’t connect to it at WiFi stage even when I connected to same WiFi update after I called had amazing tech help & in the end got problem resolved what great customer service

**Developer response:** Hi, please do contact our technical support (number in the app) to diagnose the issue and resolve!

### 5/5 — Sync Energy

*2026-07-04*

Easy to used had my car for two months and earned £10 on my charge paid in to my bank account with in tan minutes 
Working on my next payment

### 5/5 — Ev charger

*2026-05-22*

Engineer came on time was very polite did the job very neatly. Explained everything and helped install the new app on the phone. Very pleased with how it turned out. Thank you very much. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

**Developer response:** We're very glad it all went smoothly, and hope you continue to have a good experience with your Sync Energy charger!

### 1/5 — Masterplug EV charger

*2026-05-07*

Was made to move to this app from the Monta app that was previously used on the Masterplug EV Charger. This app does not allow you to input the kwh rate, and does not calculate session cost, or enable monthly report to be produced showing the charging costs - All basic functions on other charging apps. I’m now unable to calculate monthly charge costs for business expenses on this app. Really poor.

Edit based on developer response - So I don’t want, and am not able to use tariff sense as you don’t list my tariff, and I am capable of setting charging myself using the schedule - in short based on your response, there is no ability to report costs with this app and it’s evidently no where near as good or as intuitive as the original Monta app. I have no choice but to struggle on without until such a time as the additional features are added, whenever that is!

Edit - I will try out what you have said although I am on Next Smart Saver Fixed - (triple rate tariff) There is only option for single and dual rate from what I can see if trying to do manual.

**Developer response:** Hi. What tariff are you on please? In the mean time, in Tariff Sense you can input your rates manually. Even if you use manual charging, as long as your rates are in Tariff Sense then the charge history will show previous charges and their cost.

### 1/5 — Useless App

*2026-05-02*

Used this app on my newly installed Sync Energy 2 wall charger, app always errors when looking for firmware updates (Monta found it and installed it), schedule was set in the app and it started 4 hours early and no matter how many times I cancelled it on the app it just continued or restarted, ended up using the car to disconnect, I even removed all the schedules and it still continued to charge, installed Monta and everything worked fine…, not a great experience for a new EV user

**Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry for the frustration with the firmware error and your charging schedule. Our engineers are currently working on a fix for the update issue.
The scheduling problem likely happened because the charger was in "Plug and Charge" mode rather than "App Mode." When "Plug and Charge" is active, the unit starts charging as soon as it is plugged in, which overrides any schedules you have set in the app. This is why the charge continued even after you removed your schedules.
We are looking into adding a clearer warning in the app to prevent this confusion for other users. If you need a hand adjusting your settings, please contact our technical support team (details in the app).
Best,
The Sync Energy Team

### 5/5 — Well it seems ok…..

*2026-04-27*

This new charger replaced the original which Sync EV did free of charge, which was most unusual.  A free upgrade m? Unheard of.  Not as visually attractive as the one it replaced but hi ho.  If it works as well as the old one I shall be happy.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We are glad you are happy with the replacement.
These newer models include more accurate energy metering to align with updated UK legislation. This ensures your charger is future-proofed for potential (and completely optional) smart-grid services that help balance national energy demand. These features work in the background without affecting your charging speed or performance.
We wanted to make sure our customers have the most up-to-date tech as we move forward. Enjoy the new charger!

### 5/5 — Sync Energy - Great Customer Service

*2026-04-11*

I recently received an upgrade of my EV Charger from Sync Energy everything was arranged with great efficiency and the new EV Charger and improved App are brilliant … Well done Sync Energy😊👍5*****

**Developer response:** We’re so happy you’re happy! Thanks for your feedback 🙂

### 1/5 — Junk charger

*2026-04-04, version 1.2.5*

Charger just not charging today, both our cars need charging and this ain’t working, their tech support is worse than useless and only open short hours mon-fri, no good to me on a Saturday.
Bring back the old charger and app, that was flawless

### 5/5 — New to me

*2026-03-26*

First time with electric car, find the charging good and would recommend the synch charger. This is far cheaper than using fuel especially at today’s prices.

**Developer response:** We're super glad you are enjoying the experience. Please feel free to get in touch in case you have any questions. app.support@sync.energy

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2026-02-17*

I have been using this app for a few weeks and it functions well so far.
What would be useful is to be able to have the ability to set more than one scheduled charge time as with some tariffs there are more than one off peak slot in the 24 hours.
I just have to remember to go into the app at the allotted time and manually turn the charger on and off if I need more charge.

Thanks for the reply.
I look forward to further updates and tweaks.
Would you consider a dedicated lock/unlock cable button as an addition to the charge/schedule screen?

**Developer response:** Hi and thanks for your feedback, which is very helpful. I can assure you that this will be discussed amongst the team, and there's a chance it will be added to our roadmap, if it has not already. This app just had it's first birthday and we plan to add many new features during 2026!
