The app loads all the charger location data from the net every time it loads. This can make it slow to start and if you happen to be somewhere with no coverage at all you're stuffed. Why not store the charger locations for offline use? They don't change that often.

One of the worse apps known to man. Takes too long to load and if you do get it to load, you can't believe the results. This app is irished

Knowing that the future is gonna be electric cars, I cannot believe this app is so out of date, slow and... not showing anything on my phone, the map has no pins.

Good app on iPhone but doesnt load the map on Android. Please fix this as it has great potential.

Slow and clunky. (Why does an esb app open on a global map?) It points out the car stations which plenty of third party apps do better. I recommend plugshare. The one thing this app has going for it is telling if a port is in use or out of service..... and that part is broken/unreliable/not live. Its no wonder there are ports out of service for weeks at a time if this is the level of competence we can expect from the national provider of charging stations. On top of that the app has ceased to load now. Please try harder... a transition year student could code you a better app for a fraction of the cost.

I would count the map as the most important element and its not working at all. It displays what I presume is an error code as noted by other users here: gap:["Device","getDeviceInfo","Device0",true] gap:["Network Status","getConnectionInfo","Network Status1",true] This doesn't inspire confidence in the eCars program I'm afraid

As noted by others ("gap errors"), this just fails on startup - then goes into a loop and chews up my battery! Failing on Samsung Note 3 on 4.4.2.

I don't know why this app has such low rating. It is working fine. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is because the app doesn't report the distance to the selected charging station. (Using Google maps this functionality will be easy to implement.)

Once phone is plugged in, Android Auto kicks in and takes over the phone (making this app inaccessible once sitting in car). Can you please make this app compatible with Android Auto & Google maps.
