Try Awful

I’ve seen some terrible things in 6 years of EV ownership, but this takes the biscuit. Not sure where to start. 5 chargers available, one with a red light. They don’t take credit cards or RFID cards. They say you can use RFID but no reader on the chargers. Tried all 4, whilst on the phone to their support. When I scanned one charger, a different one started! All 4 accepted my charge and took £40, but then timed out before connecting to the car . I can’t think of a worse experience, and it’s a very low bar. It should be illegal to not accept credit cards. This is my 13th app download. I looked up their support number around 8pm, the app says they are off line till 1300 on Saturday. I hope these cowboys go bust, it’s what they deserve

Tap assistant is horrible

Tap assistant doesn’t work, I can no longer charge as it has messed up the searching feature.
Horrible feature trying to drive AI usage and has made the interface worse

Unnecessary AI garbage, poor customer service

This company used to provide the kind of responsive and effective customer service that you need with a charge point operator. This is no longer the case, they appear to have gone into cost-cutting mode and have replaced their customer service operators with a hopeless LLM bot. Their systems can’t even effectively keep track of account and billing information, I’ve had billing errors that led to being unable to charge my car at my own charge point. And when you have an urgent problem their support is useless. Avoid if possible.

Very bad and confusing

Scan feature not working every time try to login it goes back to logout screen. It’s not straightforward very confusing.

Wrong connection

First out very common CS2 charger did not fit charging point. Then too dark in garage to scan code, eventually got app and charge not working

Poor

No support for infrastructure. Multiple attempts to use workplace charging. Doesn’t work

Don’t change your phone

So overly complicated, then as I was getting there with an email authorisation it wouldn’t proceed until the app was updated!!! Had to start ALL OVER!!

Grossly overpriced for basic service

86p /kwh for slowest charge!

Useless

Very poor

Worse

Bought subscription to find out later on I can’t login to my account even resetted password. Wasted money for no reason!!!!!

Constantly crashes and unable to use

The app is the worst ive seen. I actually can’t use the charge points at my complex because the app crashes as soon as it opens and so I can’t start a charge. Have to go elsewhere instead. Awful app and service

Complete rubbish

What a load of rubbish does not work tech support is useless don’t waste your time with this lot

Does not focus

This app does not work, try to scan the qr code on the charger and the camera does not focus, tried different phone and same issue

Waste of time

Standing by some beautiful Easee chargers at Mount Stuart House, all with the Tap QR code but not even listed on the map. Count make them charge though they were clearly working. (Also 4 chargers incorrectly listed on Rothesay pier which aren’t working and believed to be CPS anyway!)

Stafford Yard Bristol

Nothing works, difficult to identify chargers, codes don’t match the stickers, there is no power half the time

QR code Doesn’t work

App doesn’t work. QR code scanning doesn’t scan. Uselsss

Unreliable

Second time in less than a month that my charging point at the flats where I live has been unavailable.

22kw

Nice speed, better than at home

Easy peasy

Very responsive and easy to use!

Low charge rate

Charging speed 2.4kwh unacceptable considering there is a set charge of £2.64 for each session. May as well use a three pin plug.
