## Review summary

Users report significant issues with the ChargeLab Android app mainly when used with Grizzl-E smart chargers. The app frequently fails to connect or communicate properly, and charging schedules often do not function as expected. Many users complain about inaccurate charging statistics, as the app estimates energy usage based on plug-in duration rather than actual charging. Additionally, users miss real-time data and export features. Multiple reviews indicate poor customer service and slow development response, contributing to user frustration.

### Cons

- Poor and unreliable app connectivity with Grizzl-E chargers, including frequent setup failures and Wi-Fi communication issues.
- Charging schedule functionality is ineffective, often not respecting configured times or only allowing limited scheduling options.
- Inaccurate tracking of actual charging status and energy usage, as the app assumes plugged-in time equals charging time.
- Lack of comprehensive charging data such as real-time statistics, amp draw, and detailed history export options.
- Poor customer support with delayed or no responses to user issues and bugs that remain unresolved for extended periods.
