User Reviews

Users praise the new UI and some quick-start experiences under good connectivity, but a large number report major stability and usability problems: freezing/crashes, slow startup, unreliable charger discovery and charging, payment issues, data-entry bugs, and confusing navigation in the newer version. A common user request is to show station availability and kW rates. Overall, the app struggles with reliability and usability across many reviews.

Pros

New user interface is intuitive and welcomed by some users, with positive notes about new features.
In some cases, setup and charging can be quick when network conditions are good, indicating usable performance under favorable conditions.
Some reviewers indicate the charging hardware itself functions fine, suggesting issues are mainly with the app rather than the chargers themselves.

Cons

App stability issues: freezing, crashes, and slow startup; maps can be slow to redraw and sometimes fail to load.
Core functionality failures: difficulty finding chargers, starting charging, and using auto-pay, often with no helpful error messages.
Data entry and navigation bugs: stalls when entering phone numbers or emails, repeated prompts, and frequent restarts leading to a poor user experience.
Poor UX in the new version: clunky navigation, stop-charge button placement causing accidental stops, and no easy way to return to the charging status screen.
Missing features and information: requests to display station availability and kilowatt (kW) rates to help planning a trip.

Recent reviews

App freezes for no apparent when doing a variety of simple functions. Phone required reboot to restore. Can’t insert a town name and then touch a BCHydro charger icon to obtain info etc. Can’t access info, as page opens and screen freezes. Sometime map (over WiFi) is very slow to redraw and show BCHydro stations.

Does not load

Worst app I’ve ever used. Everything is so slow. The app literally takes a minute to start up with no loading indicator. I setup auto payment only to be told that that feature is not working. I tap the start charging button and literally nothing happens. Fortunately my girlfriend was very patient and she waited enough for the app to finally start working
