Other than that great app getting notifications about fuel prices at certain locations and checking the time lines etc is good. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback. I'd love to have prices for Victoria, however there isn't data available for us to use. If ever it becomes available, I'll do my best to add it to Petty asap. ### 4/5 — So what’s the difference between this and the official free NSW FuelCheck app? Their answer was some *2026-04-25, version 8.0.7* Their answer was that some states don’t have an app so it fills the gap. Makes sense for those states. ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-04-03, version 8.0.4* I don’t have an EV, I don’t plan to buy an EV, so why can’t I have the option to filter out EV options? It’s just a whole lot of extra noise to wade through, especially on a watch. ### 2/5 — So what’s the difference between this and the official free NSW FuelCheck app? *2026-03-05, version 8.0.2* There’s an awful lot of “premium” paid apps out there so what’s the difference between this and the official free NSW FuelCheck app? ### 4/5 — Very useful *2025-08-17, version 7.5.4* Wish it would remember my 98 preference ### 4/5 — Great ad free petrol app *2025-02-10, version 7.4.1* Probably the best ad free petrol finder app and helps a lot unfortunately I miss the funny quote of the day even tho petty I enjoyed them ### 5/5 — Bug with ios18 *2024-09-29, version 7.4* Bug where Home Screen widget only shows U91 even though with premium app I have selected U98. Pls fix ### 5/5 — Duffy *2024-03-31, version 7.1.1* Great App ### 3/5 — Great app, but too pushy for premium *2024-03-30, version 7.1.1* I really like the utility and design of this app compared to others, but lately it nags to subscribe every time I open it. I don’t need the premium features and will never subscribe, so this is just nagware. ### 5/5 — Great Road Trip companion *2024-03-05* Just drove from the Gold Coast to Melbourne & used the new Car Play version of Petty, the map is great to be able to look ahead and see where the best price fuel stop is located. Unfortunately there is no fuel prices available for Victoria, hope the developers can include this data soon. **Developer response:** Hi! Very glad to hear Petty was helpful for you, and thank you for the kind review. As for Victoria, there's currently no public real-time data source made available by the state governments (like there is for other states), but if that changes I'll look at adding it asap. Thanks, Zach ### 5/5 — A Carplay app worth paying for *2024-02-23, version 7.0.1* Great app. Very useful with an carplay app worth paying for. ### 3/5 — Gone downhill *2024-02-21* Was a good app but the developer has removed a lot of the free features to push the premium subscription, which it now spams everywhere. Update: Developer says they haven’t moved free features to paid, must be a forgetful person. Previously you could add 3 favourite stations (now 1), 3 different notifications (now 1), view 90d/30d/7d/24h price history (now just 30 day). Most amazing of all is the app will no longer save your preferences (like it used to), it will reset them to defaults every time you open the app unless you pay for it! What kind of fuel app won’t even save a preferred octane…? **Developer response:** Most of what you've mentioned has always been behind a subscription. Are you getting confused by the free trial? During which all the premium features are available. Or perhaps you purchased a subscription and let it lapse. Which is fine – Petty's best features are behind a subscription, and have been since the subscription launched. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-02-19, version 7.0.1* Such a great app for fuel prices here in Australia. Still some room for improvements, but well worth the money for what it is right now. Thanks for making this, please keep it simple and focused! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — For Victorian Users *2026-04-03, version 8.0.4* If you are reading this, please do not download this app. You can find alternative similar to Petty such as PetrolSpy that includes Victoria. ### 1/5 — So darned complicated *2026-03-14, version 8.0.3* I am unable to choose two types of fuel, which I need and it keeps selecting my second choice fuel! I hate it! ### 1/5 — Version 8 update No good *2026-02-08, version 8.0* Version 8 update just stuffed up the app. I have latest iOS on my iphone the Petty widgets no longer work. The CarPlay widget no longer works. Don’t know how R&D is carried out but the app is stuffed up. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Cannot search along a route *2026-01-20, version 7.7.1* How can a petrol-finding app with Carplay integration lack the basic ability to search along a map route? Ridiculous. Unsubscribed and deleted ### 1/5 — Crookery *2026-01-04, version 7.7.1* Watch out this app takes your money for a 7-day free trial. It is not free… criminal. I will not recommend this app. ### 1/5 — VIC excluded *2025-08-26, version 7.5.4* Founded in Sydney. Cover across nearly all territories except Victoria. Seems long way to haul. ### 1/5 — No Victoria support ? *2024-06-10, version 7.2.5* Why no maps for Victoria ### 1/5 — Not viable for VIC users *2023-09-18, version 6.5.1* This isn’t much of a good option for Victorian users. There are no Victorian petrols prices at all. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — No Vic *2023-07-16, version 6.3.3* I downloaded this app to find it does not have Victoria, upon reading further it also does not have access to Northern Territory. ### 1/5 — Victoria doesn’t exist? *2023-07-08, version 6.3.3* There’s no option for Victoria every other state in Australia just not Victoria ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-05-20* UK user. This App is simply brilliant. Beats all the rest in my opinion. Very handy to find the cheapest petrol in your area. Fantastic App! **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the review! I'll look at adding a button to report prices in a future update, but in the meantime could you send me an email with the issues you mentioned and I'll take a look to check whether it's an app issue or a data issue? You can email me from within the app by going to Settings -> Contact. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Well worth it *2026-04-04* Well worth the small price to get all the premium features, especially if you drive often. This app has more than paid for itself ### 5/5 — Fossil Fuels drive you further *2026-02-07, version 8.0* Always informative, easy to understand. ### 5/5 — handy, saves so much $ *2026-01-15, version 7.7.1* Extremely helpful app, allows me to save money and it’s easy to use and search. Love the app ### 5/5 — Best Fuel App in Aus *2025-08-05* Can't fault this app, nothing but great things to say. Always accurate anytime i've used it, easy to use interface. Can filter out by stations, distance range, fuel type. Excellent work from the development team! **Developer response:** Glad to hear it, thanks so much for the review! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2025-05-07, version 7.4.2* Love this app, saves me money and easy to use!!! Especially when travelling around Australia ### 5/5 — A fantastic app saving Aussie drivers tons of money! *2025-03-03* A truly fantastic and polished app for Australian drivers looking to save money on fuel but some bugs really hold it back from being the perfect fuel app. So far from my last review the app has been updated and the notification system no longer crashes the app! I wish there could be notifications based on your location. Overall a fantastic app, that I’m happy to pay to support the development of! **Developer response:** Hey there! Thank you so much for the feedback, and glad to hear about your mostly-positive experiences. Haven't heard of the notification crash before - that's a new one. Could you please send me an email (there's a contact button at the bottom of the Settings screen in the app) with some more info and I'll do my best to help out and get the issue fixed. Details that would be helpful are: - Device you're using - Version of iOS that it's running - A screen recording of trying to setup a notification, so I can see what happens leading up to the crash I know that it's a bit to ask, but I haven't seen this one before, or been able to reproduce it, so it'll be hard to track down without the extra details. It's just me working on the app and monitoring the support inbox, so I can promise I'll actually look into it and get back to you! Thanks, Zach ### 5/5 — Best Fuel App *2024-12-23, version 7.4.1* This app is really good. Very glad to have paid the modest fee. Covers all states and territories except Vic. Hopefully Vic will make its data available soon. One of the best things about this app is the ability to add (multiple) widgets. They are brilliant. This app would be sensational if you could also enter a route, then search for (and define widgets for) cheapest fuel at various distances along the route - rather than just by search radius as it does now. ### 5/5 — Incredible native design *2024-11-19* Amazing app. The data actually seems accurate which has been very difficult for me to find from a fuel app. The design of the app is fantastic and very native to the iPhone’s, which makes it beautiful and adaptable to different situations, such as light and dark mode. Quite a lot of functionality is locked behind the premium tier, but the pricing seems pretty reasonable. This app is clearly a labour of love and it’s well worth downloading. **Developer response:** Thank you - this is an incredibly kind review. Glad to hear you like Petty 😊 ### 5/5 — Extremely useful app *2024-10-29* The app provides excellent info of nearby petrol stations’ prices, average price of petrol, and a detailed map of other petrol stations that I may pass by on my route in Sydney. Yearly subscription also means my family can use this app too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
