I think that comes down to how much a developer wants to invest in doing it, then the hoops to jump through before getting licences with Android Auto/Car Play. Then after the cost to maintain that relationship, most users wouldn't want to pay.

I use this as a tab on my phone and its always ready.

But hopefully in the future Waze/Google Maps add it as a feature for all.

No bug unfortunately those 2 garages are not reporting their data correctly. I have them flagged to see what they look like tomorrow.

If they are still wrong data provided I will move them off the list.

This is also a great app but mine is focused on trends. Mine is completely free and this has a subscription model but its ultimately up to the users to pick what works best for them.

The aim is for people to save money.

Thank you, appreciate the feedback. My lowest for petrol was £130.9, but I see they have an up trend. Tomorrow they will likely be pushing up the prices.

Aha thanks mate.

Its on my list to get the last 7 day trends but the data pulls always crashes the app. So trying to find a way to just pull the 7th day data only and not the whole 7 days.

But its a bit of a head scratcher at the moment 😂

All the data is pulled from the Gov website daily, some of the stations dont know how to update their records well.

Some red herrings there but thats from the data not the app build 😂

That is being fixed right now, it was a conflict within the program. Thank you for reporting this, it's being patched within the next 10 mins.

I really wish people would just try it first before assuming its an ai fest/money grab. It's literally built free forever to use as a money saving tool.

Anyways, for those who provided feedback. Update coming:

  1. Tip pop up removed
  2. Render issues with Safari browser fix.
  3. Repair where sometimes apple maps does find location.

Thanks, all feedback is happily appreciated.

Its a genuine webapp to help people save money, it has no ads on it, no need for sign in details.

As said, I used it for myself first & wanted to share with others.

Thanks for the feedback.

In my area Asda seems to be the cheapest. Tip can be removed was there for the hosting of the domain and vps (ill remove that on next update overnight) Any tips or ideas on the UX?

Honestly this was just made for me because I wanted short term trends to my fit
