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 The mandatory pre-paid top-up system is seen as outdated and cumbersome.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The app requires pre-paid top-ups instead of pay-per-use, which is seen as outdated and inconvenient.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.

Ri*****, 2025-02-01

Not sure if it's the app's fault, but following years of reliable use, our solo 2 charger keeps randomly switching out of manual into smart mode. I've checked with other users on the podpoint FB group and there are many having the same problem and had to resign myself to the fact that at the moment, I can only charge at home in smart mode. Diagnosis of the above cost me a few quid charging at peak and most of what should've been a relaxing Saturday morning, which is not ideal . Please sort it
