Review of Chargecandy at Reading Festival

Charge candy chargers don’t actually give you a full charge, only downside

Review of Chargecandy at Reading Festival

Chargers only last 20 mins and can only swap once a day, never got my deposit back either. Wouldn’t recommend

Expensive venue, more charge exchange places needed

Never worked waste of money

Review of Chargecandy at Reading Festival

Useful charging facilities and ok for the price, however power banks only charged my phone to about 80% so is best used alongside your own portable charger.

Review of Chargecandy at Reading Festival

Everything was very over priced. £8 for 6 churros?! The camps needed more security.

Review of Chargecandy at Reading Festival

The festival was absolutely brilliant however these chargers had an extremely short battery life and the workers were sometime rude

Review of Chargecandy at Reading Festival

The chargers didn’t last long, could only charge phone to about 70% then they’d die! Should pf been able to get more than one each day!

charge candy was really crap

Review of Chargecandy at Reading Festival

Not sure what's up with all the questions about music, atmosphere, etc, when what I'm reviewing is my experience with Charge Candy.

Charge Candy was an awful experience that I'll never do again at any event. The staff were mostly a pain to deal with, trying to rush people past with very little explanation as to what was going on. At one point, one staff member put her card reader to my phone and took a £10 payment without any explanation as to what it was, forcing me to stop her where she was and explain to me what she had just done, which turns out was a deposit.

As far as the charging banks themselves, they were also awful, not even able to get either of my phone's up to a full 100% (OnePlus 7Pro and iPhone 8, dedicated an entire charging bank to each phone on different days and each only went to about 50-75%). When I asked before the festival and at the festival how much it would charge, I was told close to two full chargers. That was a blatant lie.

All in all, Charge Candy was crap and I'll be using the money to just buy and travel with my own, better quality charger bank next time.
