The options on the app are missing renewable diesel fuels, RD fuels. Please fix! ### 4/5 — Very handy *2026-05-10, version 1.3.0* I have been using this app for a few years and have always loved it and only in about the past year have I noticed that some flex fuel stations are not showing up particularly the new circle Ks in TN but other than that has helped me tremendously ### 2/5 — Needs work *2026-02-03, version 1.2.0* Upgrade the app so it’s easier to find the stations along your route ### 2/5 — Needs updating *2025-12-21, version 1.2.0* Needs to be updated. I have three local gas/ethanol stations that aren’t on it. I know there are many more stations that aren’t not shown. ### 3/5 — More Than One Kind of Map *2025-09-22, version 1.2.0* The app is extremely useful. I t’s not groundbreaking in its design and it doesn’t need to be. My main issue is the direction link solely using google. If possible adding the ability to switch maps would be great. ### 4/5 — Great app but needs new features *2025-06-23, version 1.2.0* Great app but it needs a live update feature that allows for stop updates as the map moves. Or a search this area button. ### 4/5 — Needs show R series diesel Fuel *2025-04-05, version 1.2.0* Really handy to have on trips and for planning. It shows biodiesel but doesn’t list R (Renewable ) diesel which is much more compatible and growing in use here in California ### 2/5 — Missing locations *2025-04-01, version 1.2.0* There’s locations I can very that have E85 but are not listed on the app. ### 4/5 — Improvement Idea *2025-01-17, version 1.2.0* If you could filter by EV plug type, that would be a huge improvement. ### 3/5 — Updated Needed for Renewable Diesel *2024-12-20, version 1.2.0* While the app generally does a fine job of listing stations that uses alternative fuel, my concern is that there is no such option for renewable diesel (R20 or R99), as well as whether the app can keep up to date on availability of renewable diesel fuel sources in addition to E85. Furthermore, there needs to be updated data as to which stations can accommodate Class 8 trucks. Moreover, there are no alternative fuel stations (especially E85 and renewable diesel, both R20 and R99) to fuel up trucks within the state of California that hugs the border with Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and down south to Mexico. Until there’s a major update to the app involving renewable diesel, it’s best to stick with the website. (The website itself also looks outdated.) ### 4/5 — Functional *2024-10-12, version 1.2.0* The app works if you just want to find the nearest alternative fuel stations to a given location, but you can’t see locations further away. This would be handy if you want to see what infrastructure is like in a broader area. ### 4/5 — Good - Could be Great *2024-10-01, version 1.2.0* I like how the app shows me all the ethanol fuel locations, but it would be great if it also showed prices. Users can update prices like Gas Buddy and other apps, which would complete this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not updated *2026-08-06, version 1.3.0* No way to update info for a charging station. It said chargers available 24/7 and 4 sites were all closed at 7pm. ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2026-07-03, version 1.3.0* Absolutely terrible app . should be a simple process to filter to (example) R 99 Diesel. Advanced filter doesn’t find doesn’t filter. stations listed don’t open for information. And if they do no information on fuel types. Ridiculous. Thought website information claims what you’re supposed to be able to find. But in general the whole lack of fuel information by any of the major suppliers is very poor. Respectfully R ### 1/5 — Outdated *2026-05-02, version 1.3.0* Outdated ### 1/5 — Do not trust for E 85 *2026-04-03, version 1.3.0* We use this app trying to save money and we have gone to seven stations on. The 101 and the 5 that they said has E 85 and they don’t. They need to have a button where you can report a problem or modify it to show accurate information. For all you know the station could’ve had E85 10 years ago, but you would never know through their app. ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2025-09-20, version 1.2.0* This app almost took me way off my trip for a station. I ended up catching a station it was going to have me pass had e85. ### 1/5 — EV station located at public schools are PRIVATE for personnel ONLY *2025-09-07, version 1.2.0* EV STATIONS IN HAYWARD CA NEED TO BE REVIEWED BECAUSE MANY LISTED AS PUBLIC ARE PRIVATE ! THE EV STATIONS ARE LOCATED AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS . I have called your telephone number and reported yet nothing has been changed ### 1/5 — So far. Terrible *2024-12-04, version 1.2.0* In past three days, I have gone to four stations that were either not working or not present at the location presented on the map. The last one was at lion Station in Basking Ridge. I drove the entire length of the parking lot and did not see a single charger. I was at nearly 0 charge by the time I found a spot that had charger. It would be nice if they could include availability as one station they brought me to was completely filled. I think these people are more in business to sell home charging stations. ### 1/5 — Cannot get a nationwide map of charging stations *2024-10-23, version 1.2.0* I expect to be able to show a nationwide map of DC fast charging stations and cannot do this. This is necessary for road trip planning. ### 1/5 — Actually a really good app, but… *2024-05-23, version 1.2.0* 20% of the E85 stations I find are no longer available. No way to report, no way to add a note to that pin. Also wish I could choose between Apple Maps and Google maps. Legit decent app tho ### 1/5 — CNG *2024-03-26, version 1.2.0* Most of the information it WRONG. The pumps are private and say they are public. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Upptop *2026-08-03, version 1.3.0* Pennsylvania ### 5/5 — E85 - very helpful *2026-06-17, version 1.3.0* Very helpful for me - never let down. ### 5/5 — Driver *2026-05-17, version 1.3.0* Awesome and reliable app ### 5/5 — Street Car Friendly *2026-04-15, version 1.3.0* I use this app constantly to find ethanol fueling stations for my flex fuel race car. Has saved me countless times. ### 5/5 — The best I’ve found *2026-01-11, version 1.2.0* I use cng and this app is invaluable ### 5/5 — This app deserves 10 stars!!! *2025-08-28, version 1.2.0* Superb interface, precise, and to the point. More apps should be like this. ### 5/5 — MUSIC/BAND *2025-08-03, version 1.2.0* ME SACA DE SPUROS MUY EXELENTE ### 5/5 — Vital Resource *2025-07-27, version 1.2.0* It has a good list of stations with decent filters ### 5/5 — Accuracy 👍🏽 *2025-04-03, version 1.2.0* This app is pretty accurate. I assume the E85 stations that are not listed, did not provide information for their location to be on this app. as a e85 supplier station. ### 5/5 — E-85 easier to find with this app. Thank you!!! *2024-11-14, version 1.2.0* E-85 easier to find across the country with this app. Thank you!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
