Not the Nissan produced app. It just fails constantly to update/login. The same app on my 2nd gen iPod just flat out works.

I do like the Nisan Leaf Range Estimator that Tony worked up. I use that one whenever I'm planning out trips.

I use OpenWings...I believe it was developed by a member of the forum.
Try the free version to make sure you like it first...

I've had no issues with the official Nissan Leaf app for Android. I also use the Blink, ChargePoint, PlugShare, Recargo, and Nissan Leaf Range Estimator apps.

What app did you settle on?

Leaf Spy Pro is the only one I see on the marketplace. That is about $15

If there are others please post them here and in the wiki

Nothing else for either Android or IOS platforms comes even close to Leaf Spy! I have a couple of Leaf Apple acquaintances who have bought cheap unactivated Android phones just so they could use Leaf Spy...

Leaf Spy Pro is the only one I see on the marketplace.

I use OpenWings to start charging, etc, and Leaf Spy for monitoring the battery pack. Both work great for me!

Do you have the free or paid version of openwings? I seem to recall a note about Nissan disabling 3rd party access to CarWings?

PlugShare is open source so anyone can login and create/update a plug site. Recargo/ChargePoint is a closed solution where they monitor and maintain but there are nice little dashboards and stuff since it actually tracks your usage on the network.

Since they've merged, not much of a difference and I'll probably be removing Recargo...

usage in what way? battery monitoring, range estimating, public charging locator?

if its the first two, its LEAF Spy, PERIOD

if its the latter, then ALL of them. Chargepoint, Plugshare and every single network as well. they all have good info along with bad so get used to using multiple apps to find what you are looking for
