Which Android app should I use to find, activate, and pay for Blink electric vehicle chargers?

Blink Charging Mobile App is the dedicated tool for accessing Blink's network of electric vehicle charging stations. For EV drivers who frequent Blink locations, the app provides the essential functionality to locate available chargers, initiate a session, and handle payment from a pre-funded account. A key feature is the ability to add money to your account within the app, a process users describe as straightforward for getting a quick charge. The map interface helps drivers find nearby stations, which are often installed at dealerships and commercial locations.

However, the app's utility has some noted gaps. User reviews frequently point out that when at a location with multiple chargers, the app can fail to clearly identify which specific stall a user is plugged into, creating minor confusion. Another common observation is the lack of real-time cost tracking during a charging session; users see their account balance deducted afterward but don't get a live tally. Despite these imperfections, for its core purpose of accessing the Blink network reliably, the app performs adequately. It's not the most feature-rich charging app available, but it serves its primary function for drivers who need a simple way to connect to and pay for power at a Blink station.
