Circle K Charge USA Positive Reviews
Works, but not easilyI originally tried to use this app several months ago, but couldn’t even make it through the enrollment process due to it not accepting one of the many cards that I provided. I believe I left a one star rating and a pessimistic review at the time.
As of October 2025, the app does now allow users (or at least me) to enroll without issue. That said, the enrollment process is painfully clunky. If you can grit your teeth and get through it, the charger search and charge initiation processes are straightforward and work as expected. Circle K has comparatively great pricing in the area I use it.
Note: the charger will show retail rates, but you should be billed for the discounted rate shown in the app as long as your start and end the session in your app..Lotsacaffeine99Version: 8.7.0
Great charging experienceI have had my Mach E for 3 years and have taken a few road trips in it. I’ve used most of the big supercharger companies to charge and this one has always worked flawlessly for me. Not sure why people have had trouble setting up app and loading their payments but I have not had that issue.2FlyMacheVersion: 1.1
App works but horrible interfaceTook forever to get set up but was able to charge after 20mins of back and forth and verifications. Would have been sooo much easier if they just allowed payment at the charger. The App is not that great, no Apple Pay options, have to do all controls from the App, and just overall navigation isn’t that great. Electrify America has a more streamlined interface. I can tell this isn’t top priority..Azual-KrisVersion: 1.1
Challenging for the first timeI did eventually get a Circle K charger to work, but needed to download yet another app that wanted way too much intrusive information. Why is my gender necessary to use my credit card?
Why does this app tell me I can use it as a guest, and then when I tried to do that, it told me I had not signed in?
Sigh
I am assuming now I will have significantly less difficulty at my next Circle K stop. Fingers crossed..CurlygranVersion: 8.7.0
No frills chargingI followed the instructions, plugged in my car, and charged it quickly. No frills, it just worked. The power output was about 170kW which I found quite impressive compared to Electrify America which had rarely output the stated limits in my experience, even subject to light loading..RishipatVersion: 1.1
Works wellJust used it and had no problems whatsoever. Use is simple. The app provides good details regarding its use..HamLakeHamVersion: 1.1
MVPWhile this app works, and I’m glad Circle K is rolling these chargers out, it looks like a coding boot camp project and annoyingly doesn’t support Apple Pay or save credit cards so you have to type everything every time. Needs work..Sh0dan85Version: 1.1

Circle K Charge USA Negative Reviews
Wouldn’t stop charging when requestedTook a drive from Atlanta to Florida and would probably avoid this station going back. Swipe to stop charging wouldn’t work. Press stop charging on the charging unit and was told to use the app. Unfortunately the swipe to stop charging wouldn’t work either. It wouldn’t even slide to stop charging, unresponsive. I would have rather used my credit card than this app like other gas stations offer. I ended up paying for a full charge when it reached the max charging setting before it would stop. I even tried stopping the charge from my vehicle’s app but it failed. I charged it after using a different charging company with no issues..BaltmahfoVersion: 1.1
Stops After 2 MinI think there is a problem with the app that is telling the charger to stop after exactly two minutes. Tried multiple stations and multiple times with the same result every time. Shame on Circle K for hobbling its own charge stations. Please just let me pay with my credit card at the machine! Why do we have to bring malfunctioning apps and phones into this transaction? Even the oil barons aren't this cruel..CaptainahobVersion: 8.7.0
Potentially the worst app ever. Definitely the worst attempt at a fast charger I’ve experienced.I am not somebody who typically takes the time to write reviews but this app and in turn, this charger were so inept I felt the need to warn others who come across one of these chargers that it’s not worth the time or hassle.
Aside from just simply not working, the experience is topped off with being required to enter a ridiculous amount of information before you can even get to a point to attempt to pay for and use the charger.
When you do finally get to that point, you will then spend the next 15 minutes trying to get the charger to work before you inevitably give up and hope you have enough charge to make it to another charging station.
There is always a chance that this is just anecdotal and some stations work without an issue, but based on the other reviews for this app and just how poor the app/charger interfacing is, I would say there’s a good chance their team never got the process to work and now simply use the app as a pseudo information collector..BosevorVersion: 8.7.0
The worst designed charging experience I have ever encounteredWhy should I need an app to charge? Why not just take a credit card? Why do I have to provide all of my personal details to charge? If you’re going to require I download and use your app for the one time I have to charge at a Circle K, the least the app could do is make it easy to add payment details or let me use Apple Wallet. Did anyone do any user research for this at all? You need to study what EV Go did with Flying J - they got it right. Pay with credit card, pull through, covered 350k charges with simultaneous charging. I will be filtering out Circle K charges from my travel plans in the future..AlacazanmoVersion: 1.1
Circle K almost stranded meTLDR: the only payment option is through this dismal app, which I couldn’t ever even get to work.
My car routed me to a Circle K charger on my first roadtrip with it. I was pretty excited when I pulled up, because the chargers were 250+ and looked clean and fairly new.
Well, they didn’t support the automatic billing with my car. No problem, there’s an icon on the charger for tap to pay. Oh wait, you have to choose it under the “payment options” on the charger screen. When I clicked on that, the ONLY option was to pay with their app.
No worries, I download the app and try to create an account. It requires an insane amount of info. I’m desperate, so who cares. Oh, I can’t actually complete the account setup and add a card. After trying for 20 min, I call customer service, talk to them for another 10, and they give up and let me charge for free for a bit.
Awful experience, I’ll be avoiding Circle K chargers at all costs..Cdub-nosubVersion: 8.7.0
Waste of 25 minutesYou can only use their chargers if you have the app with payment card info linked to it. Unfortunately, the app wouldn’t accept the payment card info on multiple cards and just keeps saying check your card information and try again. I spoke to the manager of the store who said others were saying the same thing. It’s been 2 years since they updated the app and I have to say…they don’t seem to care. Not sure why they would go through the trouble of putting these chargers in and not make any money on them..Delta Charlie ActualVersion: 1.1
Everyone Involved in the Design of this app should be firedEven the executive sponsor. The fact you shipped this and locked your chargers behind this pathetic excuse for a solution is appalling. Heads should roll and they should all never touch’s computer or phone ever again.
You don’t support password management so you have to manually cut / paste passwords.
You don’t support any OS features that would make it easier to create an account.
Then to add insult to injury after you painstakingly enter everything “your password is too long” is the error message and if you go back and fix it the stupid app DELETES EVERYTHING YOU ENTERED AND UOU HAVE TO START COMPLETELY OVER.
Haven’t even gotten out of the car to use the charger and I’ve wasted 15 minutes manually typing everything in.
Do better. Replace the people who don’t. There are plenty of people looking for work that can write better apps than this..CrankyOldNerdVersion: 1.1
Terrible App/ServiceIt took longer to set up than to get actual charge! They hit my debit card for the usual $1.00 then decide I needed to use credit card instead. They put $50 hold, said they would release when final charge amount went through but didn't. I tried to correct my email address and app won't allow. I was told to delete app and re-enter but it won't let me do that because my Only phone number was linked to incorrect email. If they don't release that hold I'm going to file fraud charges with my card-bank..Grankatt44Version: 1.1
If you can set up account with a computer on webReading the reviews here I was loathe to start with the app. Did it online last weekend, was suppose to click a link in email to complete registration. Clicked link every day for 3 days, get a 500 error every day.
Email has the support number, person just answered quickly, enabled the account.
Go back to app, can login, my CC info is there.
Hope to charge tomorrow!.DhoerlVersion: 1.1
Unable to Charge - App is Trash - Unable to Create New AccountExtremely Frustrated! We were traveling and needed to recharge and a Circle K was selected for us by Apple Map. We never used a Circle K charger so I downloaded the app as directed. However, I kept getting an error that all fields needed to be completed correctly to proceed with registering a new account. After 10-12 attempts we gave up and had to drive several miles to a EVgo station to charge enough to get to our destination..Frustrated EV Owner1212Version: 8.7.0
Someone should be fired for this appAwful app, no autofill, horrible account creation process. And the charging product is disgusting, why do I have to download and install a clunky app and set up an account on an awful UX - just so I can plug in?? Surely this can be done frictionless with contactless, no need to force us to use your awful app! Fire your tech team and start again, better still, stop wasting your time launching a charging network, just jump into bed with Tesla.MUrdo76kVersion: 8.7.0
ZEROI had to give it a star despite the fact the app hasn’t earned one.
MULTIPLE attempts over several days trying to simply create an account, it responds to multiple payment options as ‘card company has locked your card’ when all of my credit cards are able to be accessed/ used at EVERY other store/ business I frequent. Evidently Circle K doesn’t want my business, no problem because I’m sure 7/11 does!.9patrick9Version: 8.7.0
Don’t waste your timeApp is an F- effort at best. Impossible to add a payment method if the existing card on file is no longer valid. Support had zero interest in helping, so CK is now on my blacklist. Oh, to make you use the app, credit card readers are disabled on their chargers.
So the app gets F- grade for being worthless and the network the same for zero customer awareness. Sad, the chargers look expensive, but the attitude seems to put the good intentions to waste..TekwarriorVersion: 8.7.0
Almost gave up!!!Almost gave up. The sequence of events necessary to make it work are different than what the app tells you. Do not plug in your vehicle until you have put in all your credit card information. It makes you put in your credit card every time you use it. I don’t think the developers ever tested this app in the field.
I did finally get it to work..DevereuxStreetVersion: 1.1
Terrible app!!! Do not downloadI used this app to charge my EV but it did not work despite being outside a circle k charging station. The app asks for card details and personal information but there is no way to delete your account on the app. I called customer service which was a dead end and was given a second number to call which did not work. Do not trust this app. 0/10.BobhankyVersion: 1.1
Adding Payment is miserableI tried a few different cards, so it’s not user error. But, when trying to add a payment, so that I can activate a station, it keeps saying error on the card upload. Just allow Apple Pay as a payment and call it a day, guys. The Circle K I went had two stalls and I ended up using the one where I could just Apple Pay tap and go.Ryand8291Version: 8.7.0
Horrible appTried to charge my car with a credit card. I had to enter my credit card details to attempt a charge. When the charge didn’t start I had to start over and enter my credit card details again. I had to enter my credit card details SIX TIMES! This is beyond frustrating. Fix this stupid app!!!.Brolan2Version: 1.1
This app is a crime against humanity.The account creation and credit card workflow is an absolute travesty. Whoever built it has no business designing software.
It will take you multiple attempts to setup an account because the data collection is not validated at each step of the account creation. Rather it only validates AFTER the CC is added.
Well, there are bugs on the personal/address information input page.
The trick is to fill out EVERY FIELD ON THIS PAGE EVEN IF IT IS NOT RELEVANT TO YOU. Just put something in there.
Good luck with a top 5 worst app you’ll ever use..56ovalbugVersion: 8.7.0
UNAUTHORIZED CHARGESI set up the app and went to charge my car for the first time and it charged my card $50. It never asked me once if I wanted to pre-upload just $10 dollars. Nothing it just pre-charged 50 bucks when I charge my car the first time do not use Circle K charge. ChargePoint is the best go to a ChargePoint station if near you.Amesome-ness11Version: 1.1
BrokenThe app does not save your card info, so you have to type in your card details every time it fails to connect (which was several times before I gave up and went to another charger). It’s almost insulting how clunky and inconvenient this app is.Lee🩶Version: 1.1
Worked great… until it didn’tThe app stopped letting me log in. Trying to change my password, but never get the reset email. And now I am blocked for too many login attempts. I don’t want to give up. This worked great for a long time until this..Pj1213Version: 8.7.0
Horrible app. Horrible place to chargeOstensibly these machines accept credit cards and take a direct tap to begin working however, I could get none to work. As a result, one must download the app, which uses British spellings strangely, and send you activation codes that do not actually activate..BrandonyonyVersion: 8.7.0
Horrible app, cannot charge carThis thing is so broken it takes 5 times to connect, then when it does it charges for 1 to 2 minutes then shuts off. Do not charge here. Dont be stupid like me, read the reviews first!.NansheeshVersion: 8.7.0
Useless charging experienceCan’t charge without downloading app, can’t charge without creating account that needs personal information including home address and credit card.

Privacy nightmareDo you really need my name, email, phone number, and home address to let me put a credit card in to charge my car? Other chargers let you tap a card, this is just data fishing.Jonah BlomquistVersion: 8.7.0
Amateur hour developersMust have outsourced this app, it’s awful.
Use the web app if you are unable to successfully add a payment method inside the iOS app.

TerribleZero justification for this app’s this bad in 2025. Incredibly clunky. Incredibly inconvenient to use. Doesn’t save card details. Rarely works to start cheating or stop charging. It’s is clear they invested the bare minimum in this app..Thefarside79Version: 1.1
Card informationThe app doesn’t allow you to update an expired card, delete a card, or add a new card. It’s easier to just pay at the charger terminal..Phrozen_Deuces_WildVersion: 1.1

No error information????If you have under $50 on the payment method on file, for some reason the app doesn't let you know there are payment issues - the vehicle will just attempt to charge and then give a "charging not avaliable" warning message with no further details avaliable in the app, car, or charger untl you figure it out yourself..Idk random name :/Version: 8.7.0
