Summary

The app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to critical issues with scheduled charging not initiating or charging at peak rates, and frequent failures in account registration and two-factor authentication, particularly with phone number input. Users widely dislike the mandatory pre-load balance system for public charging, preferring a pay-as-you-go option, and express frustration over the app's lack of real-time charging data and overall slow, buggy performance, especially after recent updates which have re-introduced old bugs. While a few users found the app generally reliable or appreciated a recent refresh, these positive points are largely overshadowed by widespread reports of charging failures, difficulties in locating chargers, and unresponsive customer support. Recurring problems include scheduled charging failing (noted as broken by a recent update) and re-introduction of a bug causing charge time duration settings to reset.
