## Review summary

Users report the app has basic charging controls and a total kWh readout and can work fine for some sessions. However, the dominant issues are unreliable connections (won’t start/stop or stops mid-charge), crashes and broken features after updates, poor charger discovery, lack of scheduling/charge metrics and billing detail, plus registration/verification problems and weak customer support.

### Pros

- Basic on/off control for charging and a total energy (kWh) consumption readout.
- App works correctly for some users / sessions — some report a smooth charging experience when it functions.
- Supports starting charging sessions in normal cases (i.e., functionality is present when the system is working).

### Cons

- Frequent connection failures: app often won’t connect to chargers, won’t start or won’t stop sessions, or charging stops repeatedly mid-session.
- Instability and regressions: crashes, broken or missing buttons and functionality after updates, and inability to view/finish sessions.
- Poor station discovery and locating: chargers are not found or shown in the wrong place even when standing next to them.
- Missing essential features and limited telemetry: no usable timers/scheduling, no time‑left, limited charge metrics (kW, battery kWh) and coarse/rounded billing info.
- Account/verification issues and weak customer support: SMS/registration failures, VIN/RFID quirks, and slow or unhelpful support responses.
