WHAT A MISTAKE TO BUY THIS CAR

**Developer response:** This app is intended to help solve the fuel availability problem. We're a third party, and we don't supply the fuel.

### 1/5 — Bad choice

*2026-04-06, version 1.7.3*

I hate hydrogen cars. Few filling stations and all without hydrogen.

### 1/5 — Always hydrogen shortfall

*2024-12-30, version 1.6.8*

### 1/5 — Has popup that keeps trying to get you to buy the

*2024-01-14, version 1.5.3*

Has popup that keeps trying to get you to buy the app. If you press ok it will cost you.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2023-10-27, version 1.4.7*

Not helpful at all

### 1/5 — Cost of Hydrogen

*2023-09-02, version 1.4.6*

The hydrogen gas suppliers are killing the fuel cell automobile market. A year ago hydrogent cost was less than half of what it is today. It went up $11.00
per kilogram in one day last week. That was the total price a little over a year ago pushing the cost per mile to nearly 60 cents. Electric cars can be as low as 5 cents per mile depending where you live and when you charge. Gasoline care rarely cost more than 10 cents a mile. Right now you have to be an idiot to purchase a fuel cell car.

### 1/5 — Awful!! Never accurate

*2023-09-02*

This app never works. The pumps are always down. The techs are never around to fix your issues or answer your calls.

I use this app to know when pumps are online and working and the information provided is never up to date. You then call the customer service line and they reps never have answers. They just annoyingly take your name and number and no one calls you back with an update.

**Developer response:** We're a third party. We don't service the pumps or answer phone calls. Let us know if you have more details to share about the problem with the app. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Awful!

*2023-06-11*

None of the pumps ever work. Infrastructure just isn’t there. Don’t buy hydrogen.

### 5/5 — Life is good

*2026-06-26, version 1.11.4*

When the dispensers work.

### 5/5 — Hydrogène Stations

*2025-11-09, version 1.6.20*

Best information app ever

### 5/5 — Very user friendly

*2024-03-19, version 1.5.5*

I’m new to all this. This app really makes the search simple. There are minor quirks, however,the main function is great.

### 5/5 — Pumps down

*2022-10-26, version 1.3.0*

I go to a four pump station in Aliso Viejo on La Paz road. The station is closed more often than it is open. Went there twice today and only one pump was working and it kept cutting off. There were three cars waiting the first time and four the next. Several people left including me   This has happened to me several times now.

### 5/5 — Relocation Salesman

*2022-03-13, version 1.2.3*

I was hoping to see more stations in the San Diego and riverside area(s) and in the surrounding states to go on travels outside of California but for now it definitely is a new and exciting way to commute.  One other thing I’m hoping the cost to refuel will start to come down in cost.

Thanks
Victor

### 4/5 — Overall great

*2023-03-02, version 1.4.0*

It’s pretty good overall. The app is very handy and gives current updates as to status of the station. The only draw back is that the app lags out sometimes so to refresh I close and reopen the app. I like this app better than the other leading one because that one doesn’t tell you current status of station

### 4/5 — Navigation with google maps

*2023-02-21, version 1.3.4*

I like the app except one thing: The navigation icon automatically opens Apple maps not google maps. It'll be better if we can choose the navigation app. Hope future update adds that feature.

### 3/5 — Unreliable

*2024-11-21, version 1.6.7*

Hydrogen stations are down very often. Very unreliable.

### 3/5 — This app should allow drivers to provide updates

*2023-04-09, version 1.4.1*

This app needs to work in real time like the GasBuddy app. We show up to a station is marked available but the hydrogen is offline even when the app says it’s a available.
