GasBuddyReviews 371

I have relied on Gas Buddy to provide me with, in the past, outstanding and accurate gas price information. Since the new upgrade in Sept 2016, Gas Buddy is no longer a use full tool. They have removed "favorites", they have removed "Costco" and the "font is now too small" it is impossible to read in the car.
I am now looking to replace Gas Buddy.
There is on old saying, "if it is not broken, don't fix it". Gas buddy has to learn that. The old app worked perfectly and did not require a major overhaul.

Old app worked well at the intended purpose. New app is a classic case of mental masturbation on someone's part.

Might look good/work well in a marketing meeting but real world (being very charitable) the app is less than useless.

I've use the old app for over a decade. I've quit (over night) trying to use the app due to the micro give a sh*t attitude of the company.

My primary reason for downloading and using GasBuddy was due to the recommendation of a colleague. It is only *OK* because by the time it pops up an alert! Gas prices going up in xxxx! It is too late. The prices have already gone up. My colleague indicated it warned prices were "about" to go up... not that "Boy did you miss it! You should have purchased gas this morning... or last night!" Therefore, it might be useful for FINDING gas prices, but, not for finding out when they are going up.

Well, first off gasbuddy.com does NOT work. All I wanted to do was get the gas prices in Idaho, which is the point of this website. But it DOES NOT WORK. Which defeats the entire purpose of this useless website. I want to to know who created this so I can send them 1000 rotting fish in the mail. With all due respect, fix your website. Unless you want the rotting fish. I know people. Thank you very much. Have a nice day, hope it isn't to FISHY.

When I installed this app I never really used it but since I ride around the city a lot with my husband and to Arkansas a lot I thought this would be a great way to post prices and have fun in winning free gas. So as I began to post prices I was ranked very low so I saw how good I was at posting prices and how quickly I rose up to the top ten, then the top 5 then I beat the #3 person who had been in that spot since last year. So I never had a problem posting prices and receiving points. After I beat #2 I started to notice that when I post prices at the end of the day the next day half of them would be gone. At first I didn't think of it so I continued to post prices now being number #3, #2 only had a 300 difference in my prices so I worked harder riding around the city posting more prices. I had just returned from Arkansas for the holiday and posted over 200 prices, the next day my prices had been taken, to almost half of what I reported while #2 prices kept going up, everyday the prices I post go down and his go up. Maybe this doesn't mean much to you, but if I am participating in an app posting honest prices I don't want my prices to be taken, nor be cheated as such as if I didn't report my prices. I have sent numerous of feed back messages to gasbuddy with no return call or email. I will continue to post negative comments because I think this is not fair. Give others a chance to win. I will not participate in an app that seems to be discriminating... yes discriminating... and yes I have my good reasons in saying this.

I've been a gasbuddy member for 9 years and it is going downhill quickly. Prices are often inaccurate, mostly due to cheaters wanting to raise their "top spotter" rank. Ads are taking over the site, to the point that you are actually awarded for watching extra ads. This site was great a few years ago, but now it has lost its purpose. It isn't about finding the best prices anymore, it is now about squeezing in as many ads as possible and posting inaccurate prices so you can see your user name at the top. Rather sad actually.

At first I thought it was a great thing. Report prices, help people save money!
Not so fast! Gasbuddy runs a network that's outdated, slow, inaccurate. Their sole intent is to sell publicity. They built a all hierarchy using points as a reward, kind of addicting. One can spend a lot of time driving around and reporting prices in exchange for points, rankings and recognition. You can exchange your points for a chance of winning $100 worth of gas at astronomical adds. Now enter the idiots behind the desk that actually take away points recognition and rankings after they are awarded, using the inaccurate information they get from their slow archaic system. That takes away the pleasure of playing the game! So my advice is: to save gas, time and money pass this one up!

The mods and owners have a anti ethanol agenda and when a pro ethanol person is trolled and just bullied they do nothing against the people doing the trolling and accuse the victim including lies about what posts is made for - you try to end all false accusations in a post by telling the truth and that is a bad bad bad thing but making false accusations and name calling and lying against a person that does not hate ethanol is perfectly fine and they actively censor out facts that do not fit the anti ethanol scare tactics - they have a agenda and screw all those that do not give in and defend themself
