My experience is based on their android auto connectivity. I really like the EV features and really wanted this to be my go to nav app but it is very laggy. Especially when going over 50mph. In testing I would drive off course to see how it would reroute me and it took minutes to do so. If I didn't already know where I was I would've gotten lost. I hope future updates improve the speed and reliability of this app.

The app is very buggy, lacking features found in the web version such as configuring each charge stop for duration or to what percentage and marking certain chargers to avoid. For some reason, it keeps defaulting back to Euro slow chargers after I select North American types, which gets annoying after awhile. Also, either slow chargers do not load at all when chosen, load randomly, or take a very long time. I would avoid using this app until these issues are addressed and use the web version.

Not really worth using. The app seems to choose longer and slower routes. It avoids fast chargers for slow charges. It adds super short charging stops to have you 30 miles them charge again for a long period of time. It doesn't route you over freeways uses only 2 lane highways. It will also avoid taking a direct route when going between 2 charging stops. I tried planning 5 different trips finding it added 2 hours or more to the travel time(this doesn't include charging time).

I tried the app on a trip. I paid for the Premium Subscription because there was a 30 day free trial. The app was not useable, the interface is terrible and the API connection to the car only worked on occasion. I only used it for part of the trip. I canceled the subscription and now they won't refund the first month's subscription.

Not perfect, but constantly striving with helpful advancements. Their confidence score is a little ambiguous in that I have driven many miles on different roads (1 to 5) and find it does not improve much. What needs to be done to reach closer to 100%? My consumption is lower than the 28.1 kw per 100km (16.3).

Just starting to play with it but it has some issue with routing that I have sent to the developer. If these are addressable and repairable, then this may be the right app to use for long distance EV travel. The issue I have is that the app indicates an entry to a toll road at a service area on the toll road. This is not legal, probably not possible (it requires a gate because opened by staff) and and if attempted would be VERY expensive!

Update: I am updating my review. As I said in the original review I *love* the app and capability; but it had become completely broken. After my second report of the problem through the email, a tech support person contacted me. Although their initial suggest (reset the settings) didn't per se solve my problem, I now know why it was failing and it's working now. In brief: It appears that at some point the required data logging for Live Data changed somewhat (at least for the Bolt). This caused my stored data history to report Battery Capacity = -8.6kWhr. After updating the data logging selections and clearing stored data, the route calculation works. One small add'l note, the newest data logging instruction indicates you should log Air Temp 2, however on my car that yields a bogus temperature and Air Temp 0 is needed (which is what I had before). Updating to 4 stars as it seems to all be working again and like I said originally, I love the app. Only deducting the fifth star because it needs better dependency management / notification for the data logging requirements, etc. if that's going to change periodically. Or at least sanity checking to detect that (for instance) Battery Capacity is being reported negative and something is messed up.

It's definitely far easier than trying websites or figuring out on your own. I'm not a big fan of the map as GPS ultimately is off by a few blocks in my experience. So I use this app and then use Google maps to navigate to the address of the charge point. Battery state, distances, and charge site information is spot on. I hate that I have to pay a premium for Android auto on my Bolt's display so I end up just keeping my phone charging off of the cigarette lighter adapter rather than the usb.

The premium is a bit expensive for use case, the occasional need to plan a trip on an unfamiliar route. But it's a great engine and definitely easier than plugshare even though the icons and modes are a bit cryptic. I'd definitely be willing to give $10-20 a year and I don't need the step by step routing functionally.

I could put up with the increasing slowness, occasional freezes and bugs...but now that there are popup surveys at each charge stop that can't be disabled, I have no more love for this app. Add to this that the car's built-in routing has gotten much better, this isn't worth using anymore, let alone paying for it. It was fun while it lasted, sad to see what was once such a great app slowly die like this.
