1. [R13] 4/5 · US 4 Stars: Great app for getting good deals and earning rewards, especially if you become gas buddy+. My only issue is that the surveys to earn more rewards never actually load
2. [R24] 5/5 · US Awesome App!!: I use this any and every time we Travel!! It’s the best for real time pricing, and has great discounts! AND… I love how you can add your vehicle information, and it will give you recall information!! Definitely recommend this app!!
3. [R26] 5/5 · US The best gas price app: To is the best gas price app, period. It’s simple to read and it’s simple to use. Don’t bother with other gas apps
4. [R30] 5/5 · US The Best Way to find the Best Gas prices: I’ve been using Gas Buddy for many years, and I don’t buy the gas for my car without checking the prices on Gas Buddy. I also works great when doing road trips!
5. [R92] 5/5 · US Insanely helpful with how prices are: Accurate and has features for finding the cheapest station along your route instead of did just nearby 10/10 everything works perfectly
6. [R126] 4/5 · US Love the app!: Always gives me the lowest price on gas nearby. Would love to see the Trip Calculator added to the app with details on as stations along your trip to wherever in the continental US.
7. [R182] 5/5 · US Good app: It’s a good app, but if I had to add one more thing to this app, I wish I could put in a place I want to go to and it shows me all the gas stations along the route
8. [R1] 1/5 · US NOT ACCURATE: I’ve given this app so many chances but I’m done. The app is NEVER updated. Always shows that there is cheap prices but when you drive there the prices are always way higher.
9. [R16] 1/5 · US Missing accurate prices of most stations missing prices of lots of stations: Installing this app was a waste of my time a lot of the gas stations didn’t have prices while others had inaccurate prices I don’t know what the point of this app is if they don’t have accurate data uninstalling. Additionally, any gas stations where you get cash back charges $.40-$.60 more than the average station. This a
10. [R18] 1/5 · US Waste of time: Used this for a month every time I needed gas. The price was never accurate. What’s the point of this app?
11. [R21] 4/5 · US Prices/grades: The prices aren’t always accurate, and “ethanol free gas” is not an option.
12. [R3] 4/5 · US Great but some problems and wanting answers: This app is great if you’re logged in. I ran into some trouble. I can’t seem to add my vehicle. I put in the year, make, and model and then it goes to the log screen for 1 second and goes back to the “add your vehicle” page. I don’t know if that’s a glitch or not. Another problem is connecting to Facebook. I don’t know what is going on but it says tha
13. [R6] 1/5 · US Suck now: App stopped working today. Says no internet. I have internet.
14. [R27] 1/5 · US Worked great until I updated!: Damn, when will I learn to not update apps until I am forced to? App was working great and then I stupidly updated, now it’s stuck on the “Clearing Trunk Space” screen, spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning… uuuuuughhhhhh! Now I’ll have to use the website / web browser to check local gas prices, and we all know how fun that is on a tiny phone scr
15. [R33] 1/5 · US It’s nice when it works: Unfortunately, this app is now completely useless. It simply will not load. I’ve tried everything possible uninstalling, and reinstalling restarting my phone turning on and off data. There doesn’t seem to be any way to contact tech-support about the problem. It’s too bad cause it was nice when it worked but completely useless now.
16. [R99] 3/5 · US Good could be GREAT: UPDATE: Not sure why I can’t edit the price on previous fuel log or on the price of the fuel log. The pump price may change for those that use rewards or other ways to lower the general price. Please fix this. Old review: In the sorting function, it’d be great to sort by last reported. That’s more important than distance!! I don’t trust prices older than 3 hours because not
17. [R106] 4/5 · US Prices not updatable: On some reason recently I can not update price per gallon when entering fueling. Looks lite app takes it from the net and it’s not editable. But if I get some discount on gas, I need to enter discounted prices to get correct mileage
18. [R116] 4/5 · US Fuel log issues: I love using this app, however recently the fuel log has issues. You cannot change the price and you cannot add how much you paid as well as continue to enter your mileage. There must be a glitch or something, so please can you all fix it and send an update?
19. [R117] 3/5 · US App isn't responding: This has been a great way to find gas as well as keep track of gas purchases and mileage. Lately it isn’t allowing me to correct the price when I use a reward. That's not helpful. Have tried a number of work arounds. Nothing!
20. [R5] 3/5 · US Meh: Its a good app but these constant deals, specials and bonuses are annoying when you’re trying to quickly get gas prices.
21. [R10] 1/5 · US Broken bugged fraudulent business: Discounts don’t display properly. Certain gas back and fuel savings discounts show then disappear when reopening the app reappearing again minutes later. Fuel savings discounts only displays for 1 or two stations but shows full price for other stations that accept the same. They seem more focused on flooding the app with adds than its functionality. Other apps
22. [R12] 1/5 · US Ads: App is full of ads and very cluttered. I downloaded it today to see if I could compare gas prices across various cities and while it showed accurate info for the 3 I looked up. There is no way to store the gas stations location to compare again later. The favorites button is just there and doesn’t show a compiled list anywhere. Plus the amount of ads and pages about everything but gas prices.
23. [R28] 3/5 · US So many notifications!!: Way too many useless notifications about games and things I don’t want. There’s no way to opt out of these notifications. App accuracy depends mostly on users confirming and updating the prices as they change at different suppliers. Sometimes you drive to a location and the price is $0.50 more than shown because users don’t update it. Unless this app makes changes, I’m se
24. [R20] 3/5 · US Ok but…: Can’t sign in using Facebook, non stop error message every time.
25. [R54] 1/5 · US login link does not work: tried repeatedly to login and the link that they sent me to my email address does nothing it just spins and spins and spins
26. [R261] 3/5 · CA It’s good: The gas prices are right most of the time, it’s a good app but I want to sign into it but it doesn’t let me which is annoying
27. [R9] 2/5 · US False Advertisement in Features: This app, literally, claims to offer a feature where it will also give you points for receipts snapped… But then when you try to snap the receipts, the app will not successfully do so. You literally have to try repeated times to take pictures of one receipt, which I think the app does on purpose to prevent you from trying to accumulate points with several receipts.
28. [R17] 1/5 · US False advertising: Don’t help them out by giving gas prices. They advertise prizes that they don’t honor. I won 3 months of SiriusXM and went to redeem but nothing happened. When I emailed customer service, their response was they don’t recall having such a prize. That’s false advertising. You’re a fool if you work for them for free.
29. [R19] 1/5 · US New updated ruined app: This used to be a useful little app. You’d earn a bit of money back. The new update uses a convoluted system with less value than the already minimal value it had before. The new receipt capture feature never recognizes receipts properly so you won’t ever earn any points. I’d suggest getting yourself the One Pay app. $1 or more off gas every Wednesday through Sept 2026 usin
30. [R8] 3/5 · US Dearly needs a pure gas option: With the introduction of e15 and spreading of that garbage they really should add a pure gas selection I personally run it in my gladiator Mojave and it’s worth the extra cost for me my truck runs noticeably better it’s better for the fuel system and frankly I don’t want to run something that absorbs water automatic 5 star if they add this feature
31. [R14] 4/5 · US Ethanol Free gasoline type needed: Great app for fuel prices but there is a needed additional type of fuel that should be listed if available at stations. Ethanol free or also known as Recreational fuel should be added to benefit consumers who look for this ethanol free pure gasoline that is needed for small engines, marine engines and older engines that need to be protected from the corrosive ef
32. [R25] 4/5 · US Please add ethanol free gas as an option: Please add ethanol free gas as an option
33. [R15] 1/5 · US Gas buddy from HELL: I decided to check this app out, downloaded it February 2026 and the same day deleted it deciding it wasn’t needed. Here it is 5 months later snd I CAN’T STOP THEIR MARKETING EMAILS 😡. You can’t unsubscribe from Gas Buddy and you can’t reply to their emails.
34. [R23] 1/5 · US Canceled my account in march but still get billed: And I’ve emailed and talked to over five people since then. I’ve deleted my account even! It wouldn’t let me unlink my bank either, so that’s sketchy, now I know why. This used to be a good app, but now it’s a scam and the devs clearly don’t care cus it’s had single star reviews since last year.
35. [R29] 1/5 · US Poor support: good luck getting help when you need it
36. [R32] 1/5 · US Trash: Absolute trash. Card kept declining at the pumps because I had to manually pay each transaction. Defeated the entire purpose of the App. Nasty customer service reps too. Good luck!
37. [R2] 1/5 · US favorites prices?: why you hiding them?
38. [R22] 2/5 · US Not user friendly at all: I am a long time user of this app and they disabled the one feature about the app I liked. Users CAN NO LONGER HAVE FAVORITE GAS STATION. So if you’re not physically near your favorite station, you have no user friendly way to see what the price is for comparison.
39. [R35] 1/5 · US Old features harder to find: The Favorite Stations link on the main page is gone. You have to tap your profile to get to the Win Gas page to submit tickets. If considering installing this version you may want to wait if these features are important to you.
40. [R110] 3/5 · US CarPlay?: Why can’t I access the GasBuddy app (which is downloaded on my iPhone already) on CarPlay in my car? If there’s a way to do it, please tell me!
41. [R218] 4/5 · US CARPLAY COMPATIBILITY: Needs CarPlay compatibility!
42. [R278] 3/5 · CA I love it BUT…: Sometimes the ads crowd out the screen when you are trying to report gas prices, which is kind of the whole point of the app. Also, it hijacks my phone audio when I am on Carplay which is really annoying.
43. [R7] 1/5 · US No stations found: Website shows plenty of stations around me, but the app shows nothing. Useless.
44. [R39] 1/5 · US Why..: ..would you remove helpful features from the app? I click on a station and now nothing happens. That makes sense. It previously would tell me how far away it is. Now I have to click on it twice and open a new app to see the distance. Make it make sense…
45. [R102] 3/5 · US Did love it--now,NO!: Suddenly this app has ceased showing the stations along the way. Changed the filters--no stations. In the middle of a city on an interstate highway, no stations! Surely don't recommend it today! Additional review: Now the app is throwing up a red notice that says the area I’m trying to see is out of range. I was just looking at an area that was farther away than that! S
46. [R107] 3/5 · US Locations and accuracy: The location setting doesn't seem to work when I try to find gas prices in other areas. I'll look up a different location and it still only shows prices in my current location. Also a lot of times I'll tap on a station on the list and the place is out of business, temporarily closed or the price is way off.
47. [R40] 1/5 · US Trash app with incorrect prices: Such a horrible app. Prices are NEVER accurate. Not once in the on again-off again time I’ve used this app. It’s garbage.
48. [R134] 3/5 · US Rarely Correct: I suspect most of the time an owner or manager puts in a lower price to draw people in, but the actual price is often 20-50 cents higher.
49. [R129] 3/5 · US Can’t Change Price Per Gallon in Fuel Log: I’ve been using GasBuddy since 2018 or 2019, and I’ve had no issues until today. I filled up using a $1 off/gal coupon, but I could NOT change the price per gallon during my fuel log. Looks like others are having this issue, too. Why would you even change that feature? Please fix this since I’m sure plenty of people are using gas points/coupons/etc any ch
50. [R34] 1/5 · US Points system does NOT work: I mainly use GasBuddy to find the prices of gas stations nearby, and it’s very good for that. Unfortunately, if you’re using the app to do offers and earn points for gift cards, you’d be better off doing it somewhere else. Half the offers I do never give the points they promise. And if you send them a support request it’ll take over a week to hear from them. Their only
