    This device socks unnecessary power from your car and requires the installation of an app with an over reaching amount of permissions required. Either design your own or buy another type. Do not BUY THIS DEVICE!

    I love my electronics, hate when they die so always looking for devices to keep me charged. This works very well as a dual fast charger. I plugged in my iPad and a Samsung galaxy and they both got a charge even when being used. If you buy this just for that and don’t expect more then you are good. The battery tester was a good idea. Too bad it does not have a notification that your battery is running down. The programmable light is ok. Mostly preset colors and they won’t stay the same. The gps has so far been a failure for me. Trees and lightly covered garages can all block the gps signal ( even a gps failure in an open parking lot at the mall a couple time). So if you want to buy this just for the dual fast charging this is a great deal.dont Rely on the other features.

    It works 1/3 of the time, most of the time the App tells you that it failed to mark the parking spot.

    Great Charger, Bad Battery Tester

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The charger works great when using the quick charger or auto charger. The app is pretty cool when it comes to finding your vehicle if you forgot where you parked on the street or wide area lot. It doesn't help in a parking garage because it will not be as specific when talking in terms of elevations and different floors. The light changing feature is pretty cool if you want to color coordinate with your interior lights but it's not a necessary feature. The bad, the battery tester/sensor aspect is a fail. The reading are not consistent, you can remove the charger from the cigarette lighter and reinsert for a different reading. I got a bad battery reading and the battery is literally 2 days old and just installed. I removed the charger and reinserted and it reads a good battery, so it is not reliable or consistent. It's a nice charger w GPS and thats about it. I wish it came with some USB-C/USB cables in order to justify the price tag. Overall a nice charger with a few non-necessary bonuses.

    Decent vehicle USB Charger

    This usb car charger is not your average charger. It has many features that regular charges do not. First of all is the build quality. It does not feel cheap at all it has a nice build to it and you can tell it will last a very long time. It has a carbon fiber looking skin to it which gives it a premium feel and matches many car interiors. It also has an LED ring which you are able to change the color and match the color of your interior lights in your car, or simply make it your favorite color. The color choices are limitless. As far as charging it does come with quick charge and makes it able to charge compatible phones at a faster rate. This can be convenient if you are in need of a fast charge on a short drive to work etc. This charger has a compatible app which gives you some nice features. The first is a battery indicator. If your battery is low it will inform you so that you can charge or replace it if needed. The other cool feature is that it include a locator. However, this I believe might just be a gimmick. I say this because it will not show you location unless the car is turned on or your cigarette lighter supplies power even when the car is off. The second reason is because I believe it just uses the GPS from the app in order to locate your car. So if someone else is driving your car you would not be able to locate it. If you are driving your car then it is pointless to try and locate it. The only nice feature is that it does leave a marker when you park your car although most smart phones have this feature built in anyway. Overall, I still believe this is a good charger to get. The LED ring and fast charging is plenty to make it worth the money.

    The car charger was not as smart as marketed. It was not charging my cellphone accurately. More like a dumb charger.

    Charges My Phone Fast

    This charger is great if you're looking for a well made, inexpensive device to charge your phone in your car. It charges my iPhone 8s pretty fast compared to the other one I have. The app is easy to download and set up an account on. On the app, you can change the color of the LED ring around the edge of the charge to any color you like - i like silly details like that to make things fun. You can also track your car battery life for your car on the app and track the location of where you last parked your car. I don't necessarily find a great use for those two features. I use another feature in my iPhone to track my car's last location. The battery life is a good tool, i'm just not sure I'll remember I have it in my toolbox if I should ever need it. What I wanted this car charger for was for a charger and it meets my standards and expectations. The added features it has are just a bonus.

    Great dual charger

    This is a great dual charger and really fast too. Great on trips so that more than one of us can use the cigarette lighter port to charge our phones and ipads! The location part, well not so great IMO - we downloaded the app and like others have said - it is hit or miss on locating your car in a large parking garage. If this is important to you, just be aware. As for the battery monitor for your car, it seems to be working ok. The battery in my sons car (the one who uses this charger the most) seems to be spot on. Love that you can change the color circle (maybe a girl thing LOL).

    Anker always makes great chargers and this one is no exception. Two charging ports including a quick charge port. You can connect it to your phone with Bluetooth. I like the customizable lighting. And the car battery checker is pretty neat. The ability to locate your location is cool, but just as easily done with Google Maps. But all in all it is a great car charger at a good price.

    Cool Additional Functionality For A Car Charger

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The setup for this was very easy and straightforward, pretty much install the app and plug in the charger. From a charging standpoint this item does its job. The additional functions were a nice touch but not necessary. Being able to use this to find a parked car is a pretty cool feature if you're not already using another app to do so. The feature to check the car battery health didn't work correctly on my vehicle and the horrible grammar made it difficult to figure out how to test the car battery. You lost a star for that, but I still like this charger a lot.

    This little charger is sweet!!! It automatically notifies me of my last parked location. I don't rely on it all of the time, but when you have shopped all day and in several locations it actually can be helpful. It also monitors your vehicles battery level, and ultimately it delivers a very quick charge.

    Charges........

    The good about this charger is it actually does quick charge. Other brands on the market claim they do, but with my G7 thin-q phone they never showed "fast charging" on the phones screen. Again, this one does. The app itself is cool. But, as another reviewer stated the battery monitoring function is a bit wonky and unreliable. The GPS car locator works very well in normal parking lots or other CLEAR areas. Inside parking garages, not so much. But, that can be expected I suppose due to the limitations of GPS itself. Would I recommend this? Yes and no. If you want a reliable phone charger, that actually quick charges - yes. If you are buying it specifically for the other "bells and whistles". Then probably you will be disappointed. But, since I was specifically looking for a charger that actually does "quick charge" - I am pleased in general. And for 19.99 you can't really go wrong for that feature alone.
