Need2Charge are expanding around South Australia and are looking to partner with cafes, cinemas, schools and library to provide a network of charging stations. The Need 2 Charge app lets you locate your nearest charging station so you can either borrow or return your power bank. Simply scan the QR code on the charging cabinet, pay a deposit and receive a power bank. When you return the power bank it will automatically calculate the amount you owe. You can choose to either pay it within two hours or let the system automatically take it from the deposit and credit the rest to your account for future rentals. Features of the app include: 1. Map screen - locate your nearest locations on the map screen. There is a list of locations sorted by distance with each one showing the number of power banks and/or empty slots in the charging cabinet. At the top of the map the number of power banks you have on loan and clicking on the number expands/hides the details of each of the loans. 1. Review your outstanding payments and the amount of money in your account from the account screen - we only want enough information to be able to identify you so that we can help you track your money. 2. QR scan screen to let you scan a cabinet and then hire power banks. 3. Account screen to review recent unpaid transaction and pay one or all of them. 4. Help screen where commonly asked questions are available.
