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.

Latest revision bad
October 31, 2017

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.

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.
