PetrolPrices: UK Fuel Prices 17+

The app itself is easy to use and fairly intuitive, however, it can be frustrating when trying to decipher between Esso garages where you ‘can’ collect nectar points and Esso garages which are only for Tesco points. Being able to differentiate between that would be a game changer and this is not just for us garages but for Shell garages as an example that do or don’t allow you to collect Shell points.

Another improvement would be: when you click on a particular station and it lists the prices within the app, it should show you more information regarding that particular fuel station. Rather like the Esso app; where were just a scroll you can see a list of facilities whether you cannot cannot collect points, whether that station allows you to pay via your mobile phone or whether you have to use a kiosk only etc.

It does have a few bugs as well, such as when I adjust the distance to search for stations, some service stations go missing as if the app doesn’t have the capability of displaying all of the service stations within that vicinity. The only way to reset it is to close the app and start it up again.

Otherwise, a very helpful app. I look forward to and hope for some welcome updates in the future.

Hi thank you for your review, great suggestion on the loyalty points we will feed that back in to the team.

The search criteria if set to the cheapest will mean other stations drop off, as it is designed to show you the cheapest by default in the radius you are choosing. If you switch your choice to distance not price, this should solve that for you.

Thanks

The app’s good, been using for a while now. Particularly with the current volatility of fuel prices, it’s really useful to keep up to date with what to expect day to day. Comes into its own when you’re outside your normal area and don’t know the local prices. Couple of small glitches I’ve noticed. Don’t know what the points and leaderboard are for (can’t see a description in the app nor if there’s some sort of prize?) but I have noticed occasionally that fuel prices I’ve input have shortly afterwards been overwritten with same prices, presumably to bag some points! Not a big deal, but does smack a bit of cheating! 😂. The other glitch is that sometimes some obviously way-out prices appear which can only be typo’s(?), but the app doesn’t let you correct them. I can only assume that there is some sort of max limit to how much a price can shift written in to the app, but if there is then I don’t understand how the wildly incorrect price can be entered in the first place. Anyway, my advice is that if the price looks too good to be true, then it probably is! Try ringing the service station first before being tempted to drive a few miles to be disappointed when you get there.

Hi thank you for your review. We are new owners now and we are reviewing what we do with the leaderboard. Thanks.

Have been using this app for a while now and it’s really handy. I’m sure I’ve saved myself a fortune in that time... the difference in price in one area is incredible and this app tells you instantly which is the cheapest. I love what they’re doing with their latest update although the information doesn’t seem as good, a few petrol stations prices that were previously known on the old app now are blank which is a bit disappointing, although I’m sticking with it because I’m sure future update will improve it!
If you leave a review for a petrol station please be aware that it automatically uses the name in the first part of your email address which can be your full name if your not careful, you can only change your user name on the website and not the app so please be aware if you are planning on reviewing and don’t want your name visible to the world..

Thanks for this, really useful to hear! We're working on the name issue on reviews as we speak
