setup process is lengthy, app load speed, glitchy, no link to report non-conformance or wrong prices |
"petrol station didn't have petrol again, this app really needs the ability to flag a type of fuel as being sold out", "there doesn't seem to be a successful protocol to amend the prices/availability, the app continues to claim that my cheapest forecourt for premium diesel has it, it does not" |
"please consider adding a function to sace service stations as favourites", "never finds my current location" |
| Fuelio |
inaccurate information, not regularly updated, average interface |
"this app is way-over complex and completely fails to do simple things, does not select the correct fuels for cars", "no response on the email support", "all manual data entry" |
"keep information from previously refuelling" |
| FuelFinder |
distances are as the bird flys not by the road, "checked 1 min ago" |
"route planner is a complete waste of time", "showing the information that there is no station nearby even if tha background location is on", hidden stations, "misconfigured server", "zoomed out map is very cluttered [recommends another app fuel flash, only shows prices when zoomed out]", "i've yet to go to a petrol station that was actually selling the fuel for the price stated on the app" |
"app is ok, you cant view it properly because of all the options on the screen", "adverts in the way", "only one service station within 50 miles of my location, there are loads" |

"not very accurate with fuel prices, more expensive than stated", "battery usage", "all prices are higher in reality and super diesel isn't in the stations from the app", "not updated since april [comment from may]", "not very accurate they have my nearest fuel station at over 10p a litre more than it actually is for more than a week now", "subscriptions not working", "location of station not being accurate in maps", "no way to alert non-conformance", users from france, austria, america |
"no stations for weeks", "only showing 5 in area for a while", all reviews in german so assuming that IOS version took off in germany |

"does not show all garages or show all prices", "takes forever to turn on, if it turns on and usually when it does i have to start from scratch, quicker to drive around my area looking for the cheapest fuel", "not accurate at all about price", "will not work if you don't have the most updated version and when update later when wifi is available it just starts looking for wifi" |

"two glaring problems, advert size and nature, in order to post a review of a station you have to be in close proximity", "can no longer trust this app as prices can be manipulated by petrol station and others" |
"app does not seem to load anymore", "opening in google maps seems to be broken", "just hangs up while trying to find stations near me, widened the search area and still the same" |
