Interesting App

I like what this tries to do. It doesn’t work for hybrids specifically but still calculates the fuel savings. However, it doesn’t process data consistently and hasn’t calculated mine for a week or so. I report problems but nothing changes and it appears no one is maintaining the app.

Not working

This app has not worked for weeks. No response from customer service.

was good

was very useful until it stopped working. unable to sign in and when i was able it stopped recording

Requires location to “always” be shared

This drains battery and could be a privacy violation. I don’t see why it can’t work with the sharing “only why using“ setting

Camioneta.

The application is very good, the only thing is that they do not have the correct model of my truck.

Little too no cars in this app

This app needs to go back to the drawing board and get cars added to the list no Sierra or Cadillac. How do they think anyone can use it if they don’t have a list of cars to go to. Not everyone drives a hummer or hybrid

Not very accurate

Past several drives was not logged. Yes it was running in the background. So personally I don’t think this app is accurate. I’m gonna delete it.

Cool idea lacking development

Missing out on a lot of make and model of cars

Needs more work

Was excited to save some money on gas, but they didn’t even have my make of car or model. It’s a cool idea but obviously they need a lot more work

Scam

Saw on Facebook Asked me to sign into apple to use. I mistyped my password and then let me use it. Is a scam to get your info. If you used this change your info

This app is useless

How are you suppose to use this app when you can’t even search for your vehicle

Response from developer

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. Can you shoot us a note at support@getfuelstar.com with your car's info (make/model/trim/year)?

Lack of vehicles.

I’ve got 8 vehicles. Various years and makes. NOT ONE is listed.

Response from developer

Hey, Thanks for your feedback. Can you shoot us a note at support@getfuelstar.com with the info from all your cars (year/make/model/trim)? We'll add these to the list!

Can’t find my car

Why can’t there just be a selector for whatever year, make, and model. Most times when you use an app to select a car it has all of the combinations of cars and years. I think it’s missing out on a lot of costumers including me who don’t even have the cars that are listed.

Response from developer

Hi Drew, FuelStar's algorithm uses data from each individual car to help calculate your efficiency and savings. Unfortunately, not all car makers make this data easily accessible so we're working to add more cars to the list. If you want to shoot us an email at support@getfuelstar.com with your car's specific year/make/model, we'll be sure to include it in the next round of updates.

Phone Number? No.

Needs my phone number to send me a text for two factor authentication? Why does an app like this even need 2FA? Are hackers that concerned with my fuel efficiency? You don’t need my number. I’m not giving you my number. This is nothing but just another user data harvesting app. The app privacy card mentions data not linked to the user, but if you collect user phone numbers, it can easily be linked to specific users. Since I can’t access the app otherwise, I’ll simply delete the app. Maybe I’ll develop an app that can tell you which color dog leash would best suit the breed of dog you own. Give me your phone number and I’ll tell you. Unnecessary. Ludicrous. Deleted.

Not good if you don’t own an Acura or Porsche

Only works for Acura and Porsche. No choose of any other car brands. Needs major improvements.

Response from developer

Hi - Thanks for you feedback! Sorry we don't support your car yet, we're working towards adding more vehicles to the list. If you'd like to give us more details about the particular car you drive and get notified when we add more vehicles, drop us a note at support@getfuelstar.com

Already helping me save on gas

Easy to use and immediately save. And Fuel Star doesn’t share my data - love that

they ask for a phone number to make the use of the app available

I don't understand why they need my phone number for the app to work. I uninstalled it immediately, I don't collaborate with apps that need my information to work.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. We use your phone number only for the purposes of creating an account/logging in and sending you a one time use password for better security. We don't sell your phone number or use it in any other way, we value the privacy of our users! Hope this information helps, if you have anymore more questions please feel free to email us at support@getfuelstar.com.

Cool. Love to save $$$

Never knew that driving better could save on gas

Great app!

Very cool to see how my driving affects my gas usage.
