Chargehub: Most complete map of chargers, it has filters for type of chargers and comments so you know if they are working properly.
Chargepoint: Super easy to make payment. This program can also work with Apple Carplay.
Plugshare: Easy to use. Shows charge types & can be used to pay.
Chargeway: Easy to use and the app has a great trip planning function.
