    Charge indicator not reliable.

    Only one light to tell you how much battery life you have. Green means 20% and above so when i went to charge my phone I thought it had enough charge to give me enough juice but the charger went dead after a few minutes. I returned it for something more reliable with more than 1 led light so I know how much juice I have before I have to recharge the device itself. Go ahead and spend the extra money for a better charger other than this one. If it was not for the 1 led indicator it would have been a great item.

    It gets HOT. The second time I used it, the kickstand part got so hot that it left a red mark that took about a week to heal. It also doesnt charge my phone all the time, even after charging it up. Very glitchy.

    Doesn’t work at all! I’ve only used it once and it charged 20 percent for more than an hour. After that one time, it stopped working. It sticks to phone perfectly but it will nit charge at all. Tried different phones to check and it didn’t work on amy of them. I have an iphone 15 promax.

    This thing barely charges my phone all the way before dying, and the wireless charging can’t seem to stay connected. I’ll be buying an Anker charger to replace this one.
