Useful, but could be improved – GasBuddy: Find & Pay for Gas Review

I have never used the card/discount features of this app. Even so, this app is a useful tool to find the best prices around (usually) and feel like you’re getting robbed by the least amount possible at the pump. I say usually, because prices are occasionally wrong, which is understandable considering that they are crowd-sourced but still frustrating when you’ve put effort into letting the app steer you to drive out of your way to get a deal that doesn’t exist. Prices are typically correct and usually close if they’re not exact, but not always. My main annoyances with this app that the developers could do something about are the load times. It sometimes takes longer than should, even on current hardware and iOS versions. My second biggest gripe is that there B20 biodiesel is not an available fuel type. Far more B20 is burned in this country than E85, which is listed. Similarly, there’s no filter for Top Tier (gas or diesel), which I run preferentially along with B20. Finally, on longer trips, the search-along-route feature is great, but there’s one caveat to that. I’m non-route searches, the distance from “current location” to each station is displayed. I’m along-route searches, this disappears and is replaced by distance added to route. While this metric is also useful, it would be really nice to know at a glance (from list view) which stations I can make it to with my available fuel range. Overall positive and useful, but could be great with a few tweaks and new features.
