POD home delivers
Iv left it a few months before I have left a review. As Iv seen a lot of negative reviews and I just wanted to say from what I personally think about this app is it is very good and solid I have two cars we use which is BMW and I pace and have to say it has been flawless plus with the rewards is a great idea in of peak times.
Utter Junk
Charging my car was simple until Pod Point created this Pod Home app. I really regret getting a Pod Point charger now simply because of this. Charging on schedule is unreliable, which is a nuisance if you charge overnight and need to get somewhere the next day. I think the majority of people just want to simply charge their car, not have all this other junk piled into the app. The wording and structure of the five star reviews for this app seem fishy as well.
Mazda six connection
I like the app. It works well, but I’m having problems connecting to the MyMazda. Everything is set up correctly however I get the message. Mazda is having problems with authenticating. Try later. Is it because the MyMazda app has updated to 2FA help would be appreciated.
UI wording needs reviewing.
Boost button to charge now. Poor UI decision.
Why change something that wasn’t broken
The old app was basic but worked (really well). The new app wants you to use Pod Points smart controls which isn’t what EV drivers want. The vast majority charge using the smart plan from their energy provider. POD Point keep it simple as it just worked!

Excellent service
New app locked my charger out
Do not download this app. Appears to have bricked my charger
Breeze to use!!
What can I say when I first started using Pod Point I was extremely apprehensive due to the really limited usage of the original app. Since having uploaded and started using Pod Home it’s been an absolute breeze with my only complaint would be the poor wifi connection which ultimately can halt usage (very rare) and when highlighting complaints/guidance is clunky any information placed the follow up usually acknowledges you but no clear instruction on how to proceed and subsequently the case gets closed without being able to find out your enquiry due to them saying as I’ve not followed it up it’s to be closed. The reward system is fab too! Encouraging further savings and stop clogging up the grid. Had it not been for the poor customer service portal(not the staff- just portal) I would have given 5 stars 👍🏻👌🏻
Not easy
Not as easy to navigate or as obvious to use as the old one
Will not schedule charging
All was fine until I set up a dual system. Since then this new app insists on ‘boosting’ the charge immediately and completing it almost before the night rate is available. Any help from the developers would be appreciated
Excellent home charger
Love this charger, looks good, never fails to charge my car overnight on cheap electric. Solar charging works a treat. The rewards program is amazing also giving me cask back. What’s not to like.
Just like the last one, except…
…nothing works. Imagine having the ballz as a corporation to force all your customers to get a SECOND app to use your product, and then somehow allow that new app to be notably worse than the original. Do better, Pod Point. One of your USPs was that I only needed one app for home and work, but now that’s gone and I’d gladly shop for a different brand.
downgrade
old app was working fine but they had to update it to one that keeps delinking from car so have to set up again. Such a pain if it ain’t broken don’t fix it!!
MyNissan UK
Since updating I can’t link my car because the new MyNissan UK option is no longer there. The only options are MyNissan US or Canada. This means that you can’t authenticate in order to link the car.
Dan Mercius
Really easy to use app. Really good business model, with incentives to use grid in periods of low demand. Hopefully, we can scale this up for the better for the community.
Stops charging early
I used to use the Pod Point app but found out there is this home one that gives you credit. So installed it but for two times now, it didn’t finish the night schedule. I would start but stops charging early, like only one hour of charging or so. Never had issues with the other app. Very frustrating when you just have to leave for work and will then have to worry about how much charge you have.
Do the basics!!
Doesn’t give you the old charger status information as in charging, pending or charge error. Pretty fundamental but symptomatic of developers adding all sorts of useless features whilst abandoning the basic functionality.
My App won’t stay on Basic (always on) Charging
The app worked well to start with as I selected Basic Charging so that this wouldn’t interfere with my energy supplier tariff. The Pod Home App will randomly move me to scheduled charging and therefore means several times I have come out in the morning with the car not charged to the level I have needed. Frustrating as the previous Pod Point app worked without issue. Will need to contact POD for a fix I guess
Transfer rewards
Super speedy and a nice surprise!
Car link
Really poor - the legacy which was brilliant has been deprecated…forcing users to this app. Cannot link the cars and therefore cannot set the schedules. Customer setups “24/7” but only available Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. Poor on all accounts
Where are the features?
Is this app finished? Features are very basic/limited. There are places that mention scheduling functionality but I’m unable to find this.
Excellent app and charger
I’ve had my Pod charger for a few days now and so far it has been excellent. Simple to use, reliable and fast charging. The app is a breeze to use - just set the off peak hours, tell it how much charge to add, and let it do the rest. I have it set to lowest cost so it will only charge at the times I have set as off peak and so far it has completely avoided the expensive times. I really would like to see the ability to add more than one off peak period as newer tariffs, especially for homes with heat pumps, have off peak hours split into two or three sessions rather than just one.
Poor
Well what can I say, I’ve had multiple emails telling me switch to this app but although it’s installed all I get is the original instructions to direct into installation, given the charger was Installed many months ago the app only directs me that way, but even more frustrating is the absolutely non-existent support services that I have reported this issue to, am I now supposed to use public charging at astronomical charges?????
Too hard to work
Switched from old to new app but that just made it harder and more complicated. Almost hope the charger will break so we can change brand
App and rewards
I’m living the app and added bonus is the monthly rewards
Update Required Error
Enormous oversight from developers here: unacceptable and needs to be resolved immediately. App is unable to be used because it ‘must be updated’, yet I click the update button and there is no update available. Without this, I am unable to charge my car through ‘boost’ or any other means, rendering the charger useless until this is resolved. A frankly insane decision on PodPoint’s part - even if the update was available, what if I wasn’t able to update due to connectivity or storage issues on my phone? This charger must not be reliant on an arbitrary decision to be functional! Please fix this and ensure it does not happen again!
PODPOINT New App
Not happy with the new App, the old one worked perfectly, the new one just messed everything up. It took me ages to figure out how to charge it ‘now’ and not wait until the charger wanted to on the ‘Smart Charging’ no instructions were ever given, you just had to fathom it out by yourself. And having to add in vehicles. I get numerous test vehicles and I really don’t want to do that every time. PODPOINT should have just left it as it was. Far too much messing about now. Wish I could get rid of it… Martin
Works seamlessly with Kia app
I’ve used the Pod Home app since June 2026 with my Kia Niro EV. The Pod Home app works perfectly with the Kia onboard software and the Kia app. Ability to make tariff changes and collect rewards along the way makes Pod Home the perfect partner with a clear charging schedule display.
This app gets worse!!
Sometimes I just want to plug in and go. Have connected twice tonight and left to charge , and each time about 2% added. Not for the first time so I wish I had got elsewhere
Backwards step!
The last update is not what was expected we have Citroen ec4’s and we have linked them to the app as we have a cheap EDF POD tarriff. So the last two occasions I have asked to charge to 100% there has been plenty of time but the app decides not to start at 11am and pauses for one hour! Why! Then it only gets to 96% we have the correct version of this car! We did not have this issue before the update! Well still can’t charge to 100% keeps deciding to pause the charging sort this out thinking about reverting to the pod point app! Sort this out please! Still can’t get to 100% when smart charging has plenty of time because it keeps pausing why should I need to switch to basic charging to get 100% sort this out please or allow us to choose when it will pause! Still not fixed plenty of time to charge to 100% yet it chooses to pause and charge to 97%! Where is the logic in that!
Backwards step
This app compared to the old one is absolutely terrible, not user friendly! Very disappointing
