GasBuddy

I've only used GasBuddy a couple of times. Simply because when I go to activate an offer at a certain gas station it only gives me a 0.02¢ discount. When I asked the support team about it they said that I had actually activated another gas station. I literally sent them a picture of the gas station I did activate. It's kind of frustrating that they're telling me oh you actually activated a gas station which was in an entirely different town, even though I literally sent them proof that I didn't.

The gasbuddy app is very clumsy and not intuitive at all for one thing the search function is cleared every time you enter it so if you make a mistake and enter the wrong town and City you can't edit the field and replace the data with the correct data you have to start from the very beginning and with so many States having the same town name you could inadvertently select the wrong State and have to enter the state and city again all over it's lousy. And if you're on the road and trying to save time and having this silly little obstacle makes absolutely no sense. Also the fine gas option is sometimes obscure because the drives thing stands in your way okay you don't want to do the drive thing that's your business but don't put that obstacle in the way of finding gas

They were supposed to send a card so I could use the balance I've accrued in the account. They never sent the card and I've reached out to email support numerous times with absolutely no response back. Terrible and non existent customer support.

What is the purpose of GasBuddy, if not to help motorists locate fuel centers with the best prices? Yet, if there is no actual process by which the continual posting of false information (gas prices) can be stopped and the responsible abuser(s) of the GasBuddy app (e.g. FleetZman) is held accountable, then the entire GasBuddy premise is compromised and therefore worthless as a value-driven mobile application.

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.

GasBuddy shows $4.23 / gallon at the Riverwoods gas station on Knott Rd, but that is NOT correct. When I drove there specifically due to the price, I found out that it was actually $4.59 / gallon. The gas attendant said, "GasBuddy needs to update and correct what they're posting."

They reduced the number of points you can get and lessen your chances at winning free gas
The new changes have the site freezing daily
The contests aren't very much fun anymore
No one responds to your inquiries anymore. I have one station that has diesel but they never listen so I always have to add it and one station that was torn down kept getting gasoline prices!
The ads are terrible
You have to search for the x to close them
The design makes going back a page very difficult
All in all they have ruined a fun and useful app

I went to a gas station because gasbuddy had it listed there with a good price. When I got there, the gas was much more expensive, so I tried to put in the correct price, but the app wouldn't accept it. I "thought I'd try out the "right price" icon just for curiosity sake, and the app immediately accepted it! Talk about a scam; once I inadvertently confirmed the WRONG price, it was impossible to change it! Such a scam; obviously the gas companies and gasbuddy are colluding.

Updates to the mobile app have consistently made it crash randomly and more often than ever. Several years ago they eliminated member messaging, which has lead to less accurate price posting, and at times, outright fraudulent posting. In the early days, fraudsters were called out by other users, and banned by moderators. The pay with GasBuddy feature is a joke- you can do better by using any credit card that gives cash back on purchases (ex.: Discover). On top of all of that, the app is a personal data harvesting machine, rated by Wirecutter as a "privacy nightmare"... https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/ways-to-find-cheapest-gas/

I made a special trip just to learn the gas price on Gas Buddy was incorrect. Also when using Gas Buddy with Kroger Fuel Points the $75 daily or $300 weekly limit includes the total before Kroger Fuel Points are subtracted. I had $1.00 per gallon discount with Kroger Fuel Points but the pump shut down when I reached the daily limit. I could have put 7 more gallons in and saved $7 more but ended up with an unfilled tank and loss of Kroger Points. The usual $. 05+- per gallon using Gas Buddy is not worth the hassle and potential loss of Kroger Fuel Points an a partially filled tank.

I entered my back account information to activate my Gasbuddy Card. Two days later the MICRO DEPOSITS appeared in my checking account. When I entered them into the app to verify them it told me the amounts were incorrect. I called right at 9am EST and was on hold two hours, then disconnected. I repeated this for 5 business days. Same 2 hour hold, then a disconnection. I sent an electronic request thru the app after the second day and it ha been 5 weeks. This company s a joke.

Today we stopped by the Esso in Black Diamond Alberta.
Wow! You can certainly tell it's under New Management. The store is now bright and clean and oh my... you HAVE to try their chicken and fries... Look out KFC they have got you beat by a mile!
I would drive from Okotoks to grab that for dinner anyday!
The selections looked fresh and plentiful and the staff there were cheerful and very helpful.
