  1. [R1] GasBuddy 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.
  2. [R6] GasBuddy 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
  3. [R8] GasBuddy 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
  4. [R11] GasBuddy 4/5 · US Prices/grades: The prices aren’t always accurate, and “ethanol free gas” is not an option.
  5. [R2] GasBuddy 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
  6. [R9] GasBuddy 3/5 · US Ok but…: Can’t sign in using Facebook, non stop error message every time.
  7. [R10] GasBuddy 1/5 · US Suck now: App stopped working today. Says no internet. I have internet.
  8. [R13] GasBuddy 1/5 · US No stations found: Website shows plenty of stations around me, but the app shows nothing. Useless.
  9. [R3] GasBuddy 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.
  10. [R4] GasBuddy 1/5 · US favorites prices?: why you hiding them?
  11. [R12] GasBuddy 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
  12. [R19] GasBuddy 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
  13. [R5] GasBuddy 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
  14. [R14] GasBuddy 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!!
  15. [R16] GasBuddy 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.
  16. [R28] GasBuddy 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.
  17. [R34] GasBuddy 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.
  18. [R52] GasBuddy 1/5 · US Poor support: good luck getting help when you need it
  19. [R112] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ 1/5 · US Terrible Customer Service: Having trouble APP not able to get the pump to start and accept my card. Customer service is only email and text!! No voice communication!
  20. [R30] GasBuddy 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
  21. [R77] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ 4/5 · US Good app but: Good app for earning points and issuing em to knock your bill down is great but one thing that bugs me is it does not tell you the price for fuel the other apps do why can’t this one bums me out
  22. [R93] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ 3/5 · US There is no point if there are no fuel prices: Overall, this is a very convenient addition, but for some reason there are no fuel prices... and for me that's important
  23. [R96] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ 3/5 · US Trash with benefits: you’d think that if you download a direct gas station app, it would actually tell you the gas prices!! But now they don’t tell you, the gas prices only the locations of their stations. It defeats the whole damn point. As added feedback, it would be nice if you could identify top-tier gas stations. But overall, they need to add gas prices on the ability to search for your
  24. [R85] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ 1/5 · US Paid more: Using the app I paid credit price instead when I use my Apple Pay I pay debit price and I use my Apple Pay and the app and it still charged me the credit price 404 as opposed to 399
  25. [R108] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ 1/5 · US Robbing: I am extremely disappointed with how your app handles payments. Today I used the Exxon Mobil Rewards+ app to pay at the pump using Apple Pay linked directly to my DEBIT card. Despite using a debit card, your system processed the transaction as CREDIT and charged me the higher credit price per gallon. This is hidden overcharging and total robbery! As a delivery driver, I fill up constantly
  26. [R40] GasBuddy 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
  27. [R66] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ 3/5 · US constant issues: constant issues with gasing up, just tried using my rewards and it didn't work, had to cancel transaction said i couldn't use the app for another 24 hours... lost my reward. Jeez.
  28. [R90] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ 3/5 · US 3 stars: I would’ve have given it a 5 if it wasn’t for the security feature. It suspects fraud after two attempts and you can’t use it for 24hrs. And most of time it’s a glitch and you can’t go elsewhere to try again because it locks you out. It’s stupid I missed out on plenty of rewards points because of this. Everybody who reviews should give less than 4 stars until they get this fixed.
  29. [R106] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ 1/5 · US Another failed day with the app: Another day with a failed experience. I tried to you the app and the system kept cancelling my transaction - saying my card was declined. Then I used my card to buy gas. Unfortunately, the app has now locked me out for 24 hours. Terrible.
