A few short years ago, the app was ok with a total APK size was a little of 12MB. It still had OBTRUSIVE ADS which took away from the overall experience, but it was workable. Now the APK size is 42MB and you can use your imagination on what's installed. The original concept on checking gas prices is nice, but it's been more and more tainted as time passes with BLOATWARE, SPYWARE, and ADS which is a HUGE turnoff. And what's worse is the older Gasbuddy apps don't work now with network issues and prices don't load (___.__) and you're FORCED to use the latest app.
I agree with most of your new reviews that you ruined the app. Your popups take up most of the screen on my phone. I find it almost useless now.
They first give you schemes and then after they give nothing. Pllsss i want my account to be remove.
Horrible gas to much water an guy there is very rude wouldn't go there if gas was 25 cent an very over priced
I used to love gas buddy but y'all can eat a bag of diks
You don't need access to my phukin location when I ask for price at a CERTAIN location
Assfuks get bent
Completely changed from inception! Used to be great for finding prices and logging consumption. Nothing but gimmicks now. Uninstalling as of today!
Wish I would of read the reviews first, its still cheaper to pay by cash. Card has no savings for me, as Costco doesnt except it.
I have tried to use my last 4 numbers on my card needed to enter a driver ID, but always get no results from my wallet on the phone or when I use my
What happened to the top tier logo? The old app let us know when a station was "Top Tier" gas.
THESE ARE INCORRECT PRICES ALL THE TIME FOR 10 CHEAPEST GAS! WASTE OF TIME, AND MISLEADING. POINTLESS. STAY AWAY!
THIS IS A SCAMM!
COSTUMER SERVICES DOESNT EXISTS,
TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF THEM ITS A PROBLEM
I DINT GET NO DISCOUNT CAUSE I USE MY GAS REWARDS ABD DOESNT WORK WITH RHE OTHER ONE
You should not need a driver's license or a credit card just to use GasBuddy that's stupid!
To gimmicky. Dont have time for the b. S. they come up with.an app for infantile minds
The Waco, TX area GasBuddy website is dominated by people who just repost the previous price and have not actually gone to the gas station to see the current price. On Saturday, 5/2/2020 member "dbhewitt" posted prices at nearly every gas station on on the Waco, TX GasBuddy website. Many of the stations are 10-12 miles apart, yet he was able to post over 50 prices in under 30 minutes?
For nearly 2 weeks, dbhewitt posted $1.20 for regular at Rudy's BBQ Store and gas station. During this time I went to Rudy's and found the price was $1.51 but I did not post that price just to see how long dbhewitt would continue to post the wrong price. Dbhewitt continued to post the wrong price for another week until someone finally posted the correct price a few days ago. Then dbhewitt started posting the correct price.
Thats exactly how dbhewitt operates... he just reposts the previous post and if nobody changes it, he keeps reposting that same price until someone corrects it. GasBuddy does not provide any vehicle to complain about people who are abusing or cheating on the price posting rules. It used to be that posting you would be banned form the site if you deliberately posted the wrong prices. That was a good start, but some people like dbhewitt have multiple identites on GasBuddy and they just switch to identities and keep on posting the wrong prices. I strongly suspect that dbhewitt has at least 2 other active alias identities.
Finally, I refuse to post prices, and have not posted prices in well over a year because of dbhewitt and a few others who feel they must be the only person posting prices... right or wrong!
As seen by the poor reviews here, GasBuddy needs to get back to the basics that got their website on the map... and that is having members post honest prices and banning cheaters. Now GasBuddy is only interested in revenue from it Convenience Store sponsors and not interested in anything the members have to say... that's why GasBuddy has dropped the Forums, the Whiteboards and shut off all avenues for GasBuddy complaints from their website. I finally had to due a search for "GasBuddy Complaints" and only found this website and the Better Business Bureau website.
The old app was great and so easy to use! You've ruined it. Cumbersome, difficult to use!
Gas buddy is very informative and help with gas prices in other towns and states...
I CAN'T REACH ANYONE THE CARD DOES NOT WORK. YOU CANT REACH ANYONE YOU CALL YOU GO IN CIRCLES. IT IS A SCAM
You screwed up everything that was good about Gas Buddy.
I try to use but the upgrade is cumbersome and unfriendly. Too bad, spoil sad!
Have been hosed by fake info from gas buddy on numerous occasions
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.
GasBuddy has a rating of 1.3 stars from 373 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with GasBuddy most frequently mention customer service, bank account and credit card. GasBuddy ranks 2261st among Autos sites.
