Dragon Charging Gwefru 4+

A lot of the chargers in west wales seem to have migrated to this from GeniePoint. Given the nationalist name it feels like a cash grab by local authorities. Everything about this app feels amateur; it only loads properly every other time, gives me no info about the rating of the charger. I’ve had no luck connecting to a charger via the map, only by typing the charger number into the app. When browsing chargers via the map, if you press back, it will take you back to your location rather than where you were browsing (very frustrating!).
There’s a huge problem having chargers that only work via app in some of their locations, as there is no mobile signal. When using a charger in Porthgain I had to plug the car in then wait until I had WiFi at a nearby restaurant to activate it with my fingers crossed, feel like the chargers should be equipped with a low traffic wifi hotspot.
I’d give one star but as I managed to successfully charge I will bump it up to 2.

This app isn’t bad to navigate around. It’s needed to pay at the charging stations in wales. The major flaw is the charging station finder. It’s good that is shows the connectors, but most people on the move, can’t wait for a 7kw charger. The app doesn’t tell you what kWh the charger is! Not only that, nether do the stations when you get there! You have to use Zap-Map to make sure you are in the charger you want. I almost wanted to buy a tin of spray paint today and mark up the charger power on them!

After nearly a year of sporadically using this App I’d have thought Dragon would have listened to some feedback and improved it. Doesn’t seem they care that much. The app hardly loads properly and may or may work at a charger - a gamble really. I use my car for work, so I havent got the time to faff about with an app for ages, plugging in and out or waiting for the app to work. I”ll spend my remaining credit that I have ( when I’m desperate somewhere), but then I’ll be avoiding these and planning my journey without including these. There are cheaper alternatives by now anyway - not that this company have probably noticed anyway! Suppose they will when it’s all too late for them. Shame, I really wanted to support a Welsh company too.
