App finds absolutely nothing. Don’t waste your time even downloading. Just drive around and look for orange label at servos. ### 1/5 — App not working *2021-09-02* App does not provide location service and just opens to a general map without any specific swap n go facilities. Not even worth a half a star rating. ### 1/5 — The service station recommended was literally in the ocean *2021-08-07* I drove so far out of my way to go to this location while I was out camping only to be led to the beach.. and the marker said it was 2km out in the water.. not even close ### 1/5 — Incorrect information *2021-06-15* Easy enough to use, but the locations listed don’t exist or are not where they appear on the map. Needed gas after typical trading hours. Website won’t give you that information. So I went through the hassle of opening the app only to find that the locations listed don’t all exist and one doesn’t accept Elgas any longer. Better off to just drive around until you find an open servo and hope they do a swap. Either fix the website or the app. (Preferably both) ### 1/5 — Map not up to date *2021-06-10, version 1.0* Hopeless app. Sites that have not operated for a long time still on map. ### 1/5 — A bit average, and totally unnecessary. *2021-02-10* Just have a website. Also, the app doesn’t communicate properly with Maps on an iPhone. It lists the closest outlet at one address, but then when you open Maps to get directions, the address is different, and wrong. I’m deleting it. ### 1/5 — Too hard, have deleted it *2021-02-04, version 1.0* In desperation for finding an outlet, I downloaded this app because the locator on the website wasn’t finding anything. Searching for Levin the first time gave me locations in the US though the pins when clicked reported Levin location details. Second time all locations were in the same place...though this time in the centre of Levin ### 1/5 — Annoyed *2021-01-25* Why on earth do you make people download a blasted app for this basic information? It should simply be available on your website Elgas. ### 1/5 — How About a Web Search? *2020-10-19, version 1.0* Why make people download an app to find a location to swap? Did you identify some need to keep people engaged regarding gas bottles?? ### 1/5 — Just make a website *2020-08-30, version 1.0* This shouldn’t be an app. ### 1/5 — You need a better website not an app. *2020-08-21* In my job, I tell clients all the time, you don’t need an app, you need a website. Apps are useful for when you’re engaging with the content regularly and you need a more customisable interface. This is the dumbest app- people need new gas a few times a year tops. Nowhere near regular enough to bother with an app. ### 1/5 — Written by the work placement kid *2020-08-04* This app is about as useful as google in china. It might tell you about the nearby places but if you tap the name, it load map directions, if you tap on the phone number, it will load map directions. And there is NO prices listed anywhere. Totally useless. ### 1/5 — No 45 kg cylinder option *2020-06-23* Hey dev team Where are the 45kg options? Am I supposed to use the other ELGAS app? if so please add it as It’s not listed in this store. Sean in Sydney ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-04-06, version 1.0* I have done repeated searches over several days. It always responds with “server error”. You’re better off going to your old Yellow Pages. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2020-04-01, version 1.0* The app can’t find my location. And when I try to search, it says ‘Server Error’. Don’t bother. Developers, please fix. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2020-03-26, version 1.0* I live in a house. I wanted to find the nearest swap and go to my house, as it will be the one I will always use. Elgas only have one way to tell you that, is to download an app. What an utter waste of time. What fkn use is it to me knowing that there’s a swap and go in whangarei and mosgiel? It will get used once and deleted. A complete waste of digital space. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-01-16, version 1.0* Does not include places that actually do swap n go. Payed $5 more as a result. And shouldn’t they be the same price anyway? That’s a different rant though. Not happy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work. Tells me 3000 km away. *2025-07-18, version 1.8* Poor. I will delete it. ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-02-25, version 1.8* None of the locations are accurate or even exist. ### 1/5 — Useless waste of time *2023-02-16* Locations service doesn’t work and gives me locations in America not Australia, waste of time and effort to download ### 1/5 — Don’t install this app *2023-02-03* The map function doesn’t work, it is clumsy, the icons on the map are so large that you can’t see where the location is when it does finally work. Basically a waste of data. ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-01-24, version 1.8* Looking for outlet to swap bottle. Hit near me Keeps taking me to New York area 9000km away. Try Manuel search nothing. ### 1/5 — Australia? *2023-01-18* Downloaded this from a link on Aus website but doesn’t work in Australia! Will download it next time I’m in Tennessee . Just put a search engine on your website you nongs! ### 1/5 — Really couldn’t be done any worse *2022-10-27* It puts you in the United States, the near me feature doesn’t work despite that being the name of the app. Using the website is better but they were too stupid to resize the logos so you can’t actually see where the locations are. It’s hard to imagine how you could possibly make this app so poorly. Who paid for this to be made? Did it ever occur to you to test it and do it properly? ### 1/5 — Server Error *2021-09-20, version 1.0* App doesn't even work. Just put a map on your website, no app required. ### 1/5 — App server errors *2021-09-18, version 1.0* Can’t use app as it comes up with server errors all the time - fix the app or remove it ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2021-09-17, version 1.0* Continuously getting Server error and no sites shown. Any reason I shouldn’t delete it? ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works as it should *2020-01-08* Downloaded despite all the 1-star reviews, it worked perfectly. Must have been updated recently? Bonza! ### 5/5 — App works *2019-12-06* I downloaded despite all of the 1 star reviews. The app picked up my location without issue and pointed many locations near me in Brisbane. There must have been some recent updates as I experienced no issues. ### 5/5 — Works as advertised *2019-04-21* Maps works nicely with pinch zoom and distances. Press the blue button and it loads guided directions. Very nice. ### 3/5 — Why no web app? *2020-11-30* Ok, so this seems to work as advertised, but WHY do I have to install an app on my iPad when I am sitting at home in front of my computer, thinking about filling my BBQ gas bottle before the weekend? The Bunnings and OTR websites can ask my location and show nearby shops, but this needed me to download an app onto another device to check where else I fan swap nearby. ### 2/5 — Provides a list *2022-12-09, version 1.8* It’s supposed to use your location and show those nearby. Instead told me I was in USA. Then on search didn’t recognise my town name. Then when I found a bigger town all the pins are at the town centre. But there is a list on the page. So, it provides a list ### 2/5 — Why do I need an app *2021-01-09* Very frustrating that I am forced to download an app when I am on my computer for something I will rarely check. Anyway the app worked. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
