User Reviews

Users commonly criticize Pod Point's Android app for its complicated and unreliable sign-in, especially two-factor authentication issues. The mandatory pre-paid top-up system is seen as outdated and cumbersome. The app often fails to manage scheduled charging correctly and lacks features like charge status updates or control to start/stop charging. Additionally, charger reliability and customer support are frequently reported as poor, resulting in frustration and distrust among users.

Pros

Cons

Sign-in process is overly complicated and unreliable, often involving problematic two-factor authentication that causes user frustration.
The app requires pre-paid top-ups instead of pay-per-use, which is seen as outdated and inconvenient.
The app frequently fails to properly execute scheduled charging, losing settings or defaulting to incorrect charging times.
Users report frequent bugs and malfunctions such as inability to start or stop charging through the app, poor charger reliability, and lack of charge status visibility.
Customer service is reported as unhelpful and slow to resolve issues, particularly with refunds or technical support.

Recent reviews

Horridly overcomplicated and unreliable sign-in process, which took so long that the charger timed-out and I didn't charge. Most EV owners know that poor apps are the biggest frustration in operating electric vehicles. This is a prime example.

Getting the app to work with Smart schedule at home is pot luck. If the car's own setting is to charge immediately, and the podpoint app is set to smart, charging starts as soon as the EV is plugged in. This makes the app's scheduling option meaningless. This is especially a problem where the user has an off peak tariff for home charging and smart schedule is set to reflect the off peak window!! Not impressed and in fact, you end up with a shock on your bill. This needs fixing URGENTLY!!
