EV not in list
My EV is not listed in choice of MG cars
Promising but…
Just reinstalled the app now it has CarPlay. Sadly it freezes and refuses to work in CarPlay I’d added three ‘favourites’ then chose one. The button flashed blue but nothing changed. The same for all the other controls in the app. Just stayed frozen.
Update:
Tried it again for a trip to Cornwall and there’s no improvement. Completely hangs while searching. Deleted again.

Can’t use, my car isn’t in the database. Still not in db despite the response saying it’s added!
As per title, the Renault Scenic isn’t available. Hardly a niche motor!

Not great, buy one of the big ones like ABRP/ZapMap
1. My address is not known, even the whole area. The house has been here for over 15 years…. Sort it out! No excuse for this! And yes my address has been in Apple Maps for 10 plus years so stop being lazy and blaming Apple!
2. Car database …. Shoddy and needs a major update and keeping updated! Again no excuse for this! Why should I have to email you… this is a basic fundamental you need to sort!
3. Crashes when you try to update the database…. Poor code quality, sort out your testing
4. Routing - pretty good, implementation of selecting stops doesn’t update the route. Makes the app pretty pointless and the routing is painfully slow.
5. User interface- not great needs more work
6. Value for money …. A complete waste of money. How do I get a refund! This app is useless

Good
Has lots of decent features especially the price filter but annoyingly it doesn’t show realtime information about the chargers .
Great app !
Good lord, I’m sorry for writing a bad review when the app crashed. I reinstalled it like you said and it works perfectly. I didn’t think of doing that. Great app ! Sorry about the negative feedback, I’ve given 5 stars now.
Response from developer
Hi Andy. Sorry you’ve had an issue. Could you please delete the app and re-install? This should resolve the problem. If not, please contact us at hello@wattsup.app Thanks
Rubbish. Won’t load
Just updated WattsUp and it won’t Sk much for the update.
Since clos d the app completely and re-opened it and now working well. Not tried the new filters as yet.

Hi Dougal. Sorry you’ve had an issue with the app. We’ve now fixed some unexpected bugs. Could you please delete the app and re-install? This should resolve the problem. If not, contact us at hello@wattsup.app and we’ll be happy to review further. Thanks
A Fantastic App
This is my Goto app for planning charging stops. It changes the way I think by offering the quickest route and then suggesting the chargers en route. Never again will I be dictated to by charging options. I also appreciate how up to date the charger database is. I will definitely be subscribing!
Fails to open….. latest update killed it!
Just won’t open! Phone restarted, no difference. Just does nothing.
worked once
useless app - worked first time i used it so was impressed tried again and although it worked out a route there was no way to navigate - cant be bothered so will delete - I would have been happy to pay if offered
Doesn’t show most chargers
The map doesn’t seem to show all the chargers That are relatively low powered. ARound my way that isn’t useful enough as there are so few of the high powered ones.
Is there a setting that I am missing?

Great and easy to use
Simple app… shows you chargers nearby or along route
Please consider adding these features to make it 5 stars
1) on CarPlay … make it easier to see number of chargers and availability (just like on phone app). When searching using CarPlay it is not as intuitive
2) allow search for for specific number of chargers… for example you only show places with 2 or more when looking at multiple chargers. Why not give option for 4 or more for example
Well done for the good app otherwise

Makes it easier to spot chargers on route
Tried it on a longer journey this weekend. I love the concept of it, clear and easy to spot icons with suppliers logos rather that an icon of a charger. Like the fact it can show you charger statuses.
What would be nice on CarPlay is that it follows you along the map. Currently it doesn’t, can only locate your current position and then as you drive you’re out of screen.

iPhone great, CarPlay so-so
As with so many apps (looking at you ABRP and Zap-Map), on your phone it works really well. As soon as you load it up in CarPlay, thinks go downhill a bit…
Live status on CarPlay doesn’t seem to update as frequently as it does on the iPhone (this is on the same phone that’s connected to the car!)
Hard to get situational awareness of where the chargers actually are (Carplay)
Slow and unresponsive (Carplay)

Best view for chargers on my journey
I love the WattsUp journey view. The ability to see the chargers that are ahead of you on the road and have live usage data where available is excellent. It makes selecting a stopping point super easy.
What a brilliant app
There are quite a number of EV charger apps out there but this one seems to have been designed by people who actually drive an EV. In the real world I don’t stop on a long journey when the car battery is about to run out. What I need is choices of rapid chargers ahead on my route that work with my car and are not occupied. I don’t care about the chargers owners and I don’t want to have to double back.
This addresses all this and works in Apple CarPlay.
It needs to add more live info but where it has it the app is near perfect.
I do hope the developers will quickly add multipoint routes into apple maps after the next iOS release and do wonder what the database update in the settings is used for but thats it.
Thank you. You are producing what is needed and not ripping users off with subscriptions that still don’t fix the real issues.

Thank you for working hard to make the traveling long distance effortless , but I would like more chargers with live status that’s like Tesla to none Tesla , why I have given you 4 Stars ,
The Best of the Charging Apps
There are a number of charging apps, but for me this is the one I go to, especially on the move.
There are a number of reasons, most importantly this app shows me whether chargers are available with live data direct from the networks whilst other apps rely on users to report broken chargers and then continue to report them broken even when WattsUp correctly lists them as fixed.
Secondly this app works reliably on CarPlay - others in trying to restrict CarPlay access only to paid users have ended up with apps that sometimes don’t work correctly on CarPlay just when you need it to find a charger. With WattsUp it comes up with a list of all the nearby available rapid chargers. The only minor annoyance is that it can’t pass the directions to it my navigation app of choice Waze.
Basically WattsUp focuses on doing one thing, and does it well, they’re not getting distracted by paid tiers, charging payments, and have produced the best app to find a working, available charger.

Saved Journeys?
This app is a big asset for EV owners, as the information it provides is invaluable, covering stacks of different types of chargers.
I very much hope that at some stage in the future the app could have a “saved journey” setting. Even without this feature, it’s still the best app for finding EV stations on your travels.
