Ratings and Reviews
Thankfully I’ve physical card instead
Since this review they got their app in order insofar as it’s functionally useful as before (and nicer UI etc.). No hang up on being required by having no way of re-identifying yourself. If you have an account, email login & credentials get you back to your account as a funding source for charging & no special requirement for a physical RF card to start every charger. Changed from highly generous 2stars to now 4stars for functionality (eventually)
Resolved Review post-new app rollout is below for context:
“Briefly worked fine for me after its roll-out a wk ago or so but since then it no longer has my acct info & (like other reviewers note) I’m unable to complete the sign-in process (again) because it will not let me proceed past an empty set of choices for vehicle make. Have alerted humans on the always helpful customer svc side of things & hopefully it get resolved soon for right now the app is useful only as a locator of stations on a map”

Still not enough info
*No app indication of charge status ongoing
*No symbol key to indicate what blue, green, or a lock key indicate with any clarity
*Consistently told me a charger was unavailable when it wasn’t in use
Usually we trickle-charge at home but due to circumstances we decided we’d run our Leaf next door to use a Blink charger. The app indicated there was 0/1 available. There are two chargers but one was offline. Thing is, after waiting 90 minutes, I took the car over and saw no car charging. Fine, whatever. Hooked up and started charging. Then realized the app tells me nothing about how far along we are in charging. It barely tells me it’s on a charger at all; just a lightning bolt on the map. Other charging network apps tell us how much charge has been dispensed (and how much the cost is so far). Disappointed, especially when these two units had just got back online, now one is offline again and the app had just been updated. I finally unplugged after 90 minutes with no indication of how much had been dispensed, to find my car was at 100%. Why was it still charging, then?

Hi, we are always looking to improve the experience for our users, and really appreciate the feedback. Please contact us at support@blinkcharging.com. Charge On⚡️🔋
Waitlist function needs a lot of improvement
The waitlist function for private chargers could use a lot of improvement. You have like 1 or 2 minutes to accept the waitlist once you get the notification, but no matter what you do the notification will not play a sound or vibrate my phone or Apple Watch no matter what i have my notification volume at. If it isn’t going to give me a proper alert it would be nice to get a text message for the waitlist like it does for stopping or starting charging. There also seems to be problems with the waitlist, where the charger won’t activate for some people at my location. Not sure if this is because if someone accepts the waitlist the charger still shows as “available” in the app until they actually plugged in. But it is very common where we get people plugging in and not being able to charge, leaving their car on the charger for hours in the “connected” state.
