The NFC hasn't worked at all and the GPS has been intermittent. Even some of the BC Hydro fast charge locations aren't listed on its map. Appreciate the locations, but starting a charge takes a lot of troubleshooting.

Functional app. Despite other reviews, GPS works and you can see your charging stats if you start the charging through the app Please add NFC support like similar apps (Flo, charge point, greenlots)

2 ★, on 2019-09-08
This app is basically useless. You have to use it to activate the charge stations, but its actually not needed on a design perspective. Also one of thr fast charge DC stations faulted out without me knowing. The app shouldve notified me as well as give me up to date charge status on my phone.

3 ★, on 2019-12-05
Please change it so the DC Fast chargers don't group together in a circle on the map, it's not needed because there are so few of them. Also please let the app remember your filter settings for next time you open it.

Functions when necessary. Flo App clone (or purchased from the same developer). Actual display of kW when charging would be great. Beats using Greenlots.

Gps doesn't work, NFC doesn't work, need to manually zoom in and find the charger number. Had to pay for the card since the app is horrible.
