Cannot access new app go back to Old app why did you change something at work so good before please please please please please please please go back to Old app
Tried using it to find gas in San Antonio. Not one if the places listed as having fuel, had fuel. Wasted my time and what little gas I had left on wild goose chases.
Updates to Gas Prices are more than 6 hours old and many times 12 hours old. I believe users are tired of the new app. Please go back to the old one!
The old site was easy to use - the new one is useless. Unless it changes back to user-friendly then that is it. There are other sites that will give me this information much quicker.
Every time I try to use the app it is sooooo slow or often opens after the information I need is useless. The screen goes dark & after what seems like forever & certainly not so I can actually find a station then it tries to show me stations not even in the location where I am. The ads take over & a u.
Ser can't get the information they are looking for. This app used to be responsive & easy to use but now it is terrible.
I too, am a longtime user of the GasBuddy website and App, and I am beyond disappointed with the new site and App. It is constantly down, and now forces users of the App to watch video ads. What next?
GasBuddy has lost its way... it started as a site whereas users helped users and has sold out to corporate greed where it now takes advantage of its users to enrich only itself.
Don't waste your time.
I have no Faith in this version, Aside from new look which always takes adjusting to, home page is not user friendly whatsoever. Changing the location of $price and last updated price from right to left is only good if your left-handed as I have to lift/move my right finger out of the way to see the $price and how long ago... Also, don't have the option to put favorites in order. Im not liking this to say the least. Old versions rules! At least keep the pros of old version with some if any pros on new version and lose the G. D. CONS.
Traveled 50k miles over last 7 years and to all 48 states in our motorhome using gas buddy to find diesel. It has saved us hundreds of dollars. I like using the map version... I haven't figured out how to use satellite view to see if we can get in and out with our rv and tow car. Greatest app ever!
Used to quickly get a "list" of stations based on the zip code. Now all I get is a stupid map! I now have to zoom into the map and shift around to find prices. There should be an option to show a map or a list. Apparently they believe their customers are too stupid to have a choice. Looking for an alternative. There are always alternatives.
I used this application to find low prices in different gass stations but the price was not right when I was in the direction which it was taking me! I won't suggest anyone to download and use this application
Whoever came up with the idea to change the old website must have had to much time on their hands. The new site is clunky, hard to navigate and lacks some of the features I liked in the old site. Was this somebodies job justification project or what?
The new program is the biggest downgrade in Computer Software History! It is in a word terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible
Used to LOVE the Gasbuddy app but the new app(2017) is annoying. Here's why:
1. First the nee version is way slower than the current app(2017).
2. Too many clicks needed to get to nearby gas prices and / or to enter gas prices.
3. Slow loading and slow bringing up new screens.
4. Small non-corp Non-name-brand gas stations seem to have disappeared from Gasbuddy and I haven't figured out how to add then back.
5. Slow and awkward to edit a station with the app, such as to add a new gas type, like Diesel. Can be done but was easier before with the old app.
As quality of gas is more important than price I will not stop at a station that is not top tier. As gas buddy does not display the top tier stations the app is of little value to those of us who want high quality fuel.
If I need to know where McDonald locations are And other businesses are I have an app for that and it does a much better job. The ever increasing ad's only clutter the list of stations
Go back to the old version. This new one is disappointing. What was wrong with the old version that required you guys to change it? 0.5 stars
Older version was much easier on the fly. New version stupid hard to change. Deleted app, just taking up room without working.
You don't have to be near a gas station to get points as long as it lights up red so you don't no if your getting a true price. Been doing it for so long I've been number 1 in my area, complete every challenge, built up so many points, cash in points every day, just not worth the hassle unless your a retired person
Like other reviewers, I have used gas buddy consistently locally and on trips for years without complaint. That was up until the total app redesign. The y seem to have sold out with lots of advertisements and a woefully slow load time. It is far more complicated than it was or shoild be.
I have deleted it. PLEASE BRING BACK A GOOD GAS BUDDY!
I've used for 6 months. Kind of fun to start with. Now it's just disappointing. I'm not cheating. I go to each gas station submit info. The points are gone. I'm deleting this app today. Also the truck drivers should be on a different program. How can one compete with that. Good bye gas buddy.
Answer: Nobody I know has ever won. I have been a member over 9 years and I've never won. I entered 103,000 points, 103 tickets, all at once the day after St. Patrick's Day and I didn't win. So the short answer is someone must be winning these things, but you probably have better odds with a lottery scratcher. I also find it strange that often times the winners are brand new to the website with low point totals and often stop using the website after they win, kinda strange.
Answer: I see lots of people here reporting issues using GB, but my wife and I have had nothing but good luck using it all up and down the east cost. No false charges, not wrong prices, etc. we try and faithfully confirm or correct any prices off, but that rarely happens and is only a couple cents here and there when it does. Happy user here! YMMV
Answer: I just used it for the first time and I guess I didn't read enough of the fine print. I was expecting to see the price drop at the pump, but instead I needed up paying full retail price at the pump and I guess the savings is supposed to come off the back end when it hits my bank. Not sure, but I can tell you this, that was my first and last time using the card. I would rather see my savings immediately at the pump than have to wait to hopefully see them show up in my bank account. Ill just continue to use my loyalty cards. I hope this helps!
Answer: I cannot currently imagine as to why the rating is so low. My experience has been perfect in South Florida so far. GasBuddy is always accurate, works great on my android smartphone, links up well with turn by turn audible directions to the cheapest gas station. Therefore I rated this app 5 stars and I never do this unless it always makes my life easier to manage day to day.
