### 4/5 — It works and is fine. 1 simple page to adjust your miles/price and mpg

*2023-04-29, version 2.2.0*

It works as you need it too and after using it for a bit I’ve got used to the layout. You don’t always need to use the slider to adjust miles you can type them in too.

### 5/5 — Great APP

*2018-06-19*

Simple. To the point.  I would pay for this app.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2017-05-15, version 2.1.0*

Nothing like the profile pics... apple give me my money back... terrible!

### 1/5 — The app doesn't work

*2015-09-27, version 1.2.1.1*

I bought this app hoping to find a handy tool. £1.59 and it will not even open. 

Press to open and it starts and then crashes ! 

Can I please have my money back ?

### 2/5 — Not great

*2015-07-12, version 1.2.1.1*

First, these 5* reviews must be from friends, I paid and wished I didn't. 
Awkward springs to mind, the inputs don't marry up when calculating the distance, I would have thought the ap would have done it, I have a free app that's better than this 💩

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2013-06-05, version 1.2.1.1*

Great app to price jobs where we charge for fuel.

### 5/5 — Fuel calculator

*2013-04-22, version 1.2.1.1*

Great app. Does what it says. Would be better though if it showed you the route it had worked out, as you may travel a different route so the mileage being slightly different.

### 5/5 — Great little Ap

*2013-02-16, version 1.2.1.1*

Finally an App that does what I wanted a simple elegant means of calculating the cost of a journey.  Well done to the developer/s. perfect

### 5/5 — really-useful app

*2012-07-01, version 1.2.1.1*

This is really useful to help decisions about whether to use the car or take the train - specifically tailored to my car's petrol usage rather than the average figures for petrol usage from google etc. easy to use and really useful to be able to get the distances too, particularly if you know the postcodes of the start and destinations.  Its good for enviro - conscious people like me as i have taken the train several times when the ticket price is close to the petrol price, and no wear and tear on my car!

### 1/5 — Do not buy.

*2012-04-06*

This app does not work. I understand the premise, but it doesn't work properly. This app seems to be the only one of its kind, so I hope the improvements stated by the reviewers can be made. An app like this could be so, incredibly useful for budgeting!

Unfortunately, I really and truly wish I could get my 99 cents back.
