not a good app. innacurate and doesn't look like anyone is supporting this app anymore. too many scam stations.
the GRAPHS for Deisel just VANISHED??
doesn't let you update fuel there was 20c difference when I arrived at service station
full of fake petrol stations that they will not remove. used to enjoy the app, but no its just painfully. prices are not updated daily either.
too many fake service stations. app needs a correction insert for removal of fake sites
Great app have used Australia wide, great for locating cheapest fuel at off main street locations normally missed. Great log book function. App is now useless no one managing the numerous false service stations in every area I look at. Either manage the app or give us good ppl ability to delete them.
not working
This used to be a good app, but relies too heavily on crowdsourcing. Often outdated and littered with fake servos that even when you report them they still exist.
this app is nowhere close to fuel prices. says one thing on it, go to servo... completely different prices, and much more. very much out of date. very seriously incorrect info.
sadly now full of false stations that clutter the screen so you struggle to see the real ones. needs system cleanup.
This app used to be fantastic. But it now seems to be unsupported. My local costco fuel station has 20 duplicates that I have reported multiple times over the last 2 years. None have been removed. The entire city map is covered with false service stations that clutter the view and make it extremely hard to see the real stations and their prices. I will be deleting this and finding a different app that can log my fill ups and find me the best prices.
Was an ok app. However there are so many fake stations listed that don't exist because someone has added them either in error or to just mess with other users. Won't improve my review until this nonsense is sorted out. Ban whoever is adding these fake stations cluttering up the map or add a review process that requires evidence of the new station.
download problem not good
Unreliable now. Too many fake, false and poorly located sites. Close interrogation is required to filter out the junk that has ruined a once good app. This is why unsupervised children shouldn't be allowed access to open source apps. Find another app.
Is fuel map going to be updated ? I've used it for years with multiple cars and now I've found that an upgrade to Android 15 has totally screwed up the screen. it's close to unusable now. Hoping for a quick reply 😁
It was good, but now there are too many shown service stations that are not there. You can not rely on this app any more. If you report the bogus stations they do nothing about them. One day someone is relying on a service station on the app and it is not there, then they are in the poo poo. I'm deleting it to go to Petrol spy...
The filtering doesn't work at all. Most obvious when choosing ad blue. and 5 years later still doesn't work.
didn't work on Samsung 23
Fantastic app - until your phone stops working. As far as I am aware, no cloud backup of data. 7 years of data from 6 or 7 vehicles has now disappeared. I AM NOT HAPPY!!!! Is there a solution?
Experiencing glitches, such as location marker not showing.
Terrible. Lots of stations don't exist (and haven't been removed despite multiple requests through the app) , and prices often weeks out of date, with no indication when last updated. Avoid.
Unmonitored app. No one responds to reports of fake, spam and duplicate stations.
Very poor. Looked at it this morning and it is so far out of date it is useless.
Fuel prices haven't been updated regularly PLUS some petrol stations have disappeared or new ones came online but NO update....sadly 😕
Just lets anyone set prices anywhere with no verification so they're constantly wrong. Just use FuelWatch.
Very little information is available on petrol prices outside of major cities. Not recommended.
Just stop working so now it's deleted
This app is so rubbish, no prices and can't even filter by brand.
Just keeps hanging (version is up to date). Is now completely unusable. Try another app. Update 21 Feb 2024: the method to update the fuel price is unworkable. Rather than using crowd sourced updates (updated by the last user), it requires you to first complain to the service station operator (just a worker, likely without any control), then to lodge a complaint with the department of fair trading. Like other inconvenient tools and technologies, this will eventually render this app obsolete.
It usually to be very useful, but now it doesn't update the prices anymore.
Absolute rubbish app, tells you there are fuel stations in your area where none exist, wouldn't dare use it if I was needing petrol, you would be chasing your tail untill you ran dry, deleted.
Used to be good, but now it shows incorrect info both about stations and the fuel type they sell. Their website and email are non responsive. It seems like abandoned app.
Don't waste your time
No point in this app when the prices are so far out if date
Quoted prices are nearly always outdated. Can't filter out prices older than a day or 2.
Graph for fuel prices does not work for Adelaide ... hasn't for a while
It was a good app until the update sometime ago, did only use it occasionally when travelling but since then it has fallen to the way side not showing prices at certain stations and showing stations that don't even exist, have tried to edit and notify the administrator of these faults but to no avail, so will be deleting the app.
Has no fuel prices or types listed, completely useless app. Don't waste your time with it
Please remove all the bogus petrol stations!! I believe these have been maliciously entered by a competitor to make this app unusable. Brisbane is dreadful! Fix it fast or I'm going to have to give up on this app which I've used for many years 😭
so many false added sites, reporting does nothing to clean them out
This app is a good idea. But I find a lot of the prices are out of date. There are other apps with up to date prices which are consequently a lot better.
Don't show instant market price any more.
inaccurate
loved the app years ago but now it's terrible, doesn't show prices at a lot of stations, there are a lot of non existent stations on the map(apparently my neighbour is a fuel station) and when there is a price it sometimes doesn't match.
doesn't share the map
very good app for tracking in my logbook but horrible otherwise, ny screen is full of bogus petrol stations that dont actually exist. way to easy to add a petrol station, need a verification portion to approve addition to reduce all the rubbish. Very hard to find actual fuel stations. i use another app that and just fuel this app for my logbook
Shows multiples of the same servo, as well as ones that don't exist. Switched to the Petrol Spy app which looks much cleaner and more accurate.
It has so many non existent fake petrol stations listed. They should remove them from the map if they havent had a price listed for 30 days.
