        NSW has fuel check

        • bonezAU on 08/09/2024 - 11:55

          When I meant 'such system' I meant the whole thing where prices are locked in at 2:30pm each day for the following day and servos can't change their price during the day, I didn't mean WA was the only state to have a site where you can check the fuel price. But yes, NSW does have fuel check.

      • omblygombly on 08/09/2024 - 11:58

        RAA in SA has a fuel price map on their free app. Petrol stations have to give 30 minutes' notice before they change their price. In WA all petrol stations have to show by 2:30 pm (I think) what the fuel prices will be at 6:00 am the next morning.

      • KLF23 on 08/09/2024 - 05:58

        The purchase price is actually $0.99 when you go to pay on Android.

      Thanks for your suggestion. Currently, you can select the station brands you'd like to show (excluding all other types), but the option to exclude specific stations isn’t currently available. We’ll make sure to roll this out in our next update!

      • anthman on 08/09/2024 - 06:29

        The feature is broken once you select 7 brands (android) - which makes it useless since there are many many brands in the list you pick from only show.

  • Certified Angus on 08/09/2024 - 02:36

      This is correct. FuelRadar requires logging in on new app launch, to be able to provide price notification alerts in the app. Even if you continue as a guest, FuelRadar+ will still be linked to either your Apple or Google account. Please note: FuelRadar+ is a one off purchase.

    Feedback : Some of the ads being pushed are pretty scammy.

    Used the app for about 20 seconds and accidentally clicked on the ad-bar , got a full page pop-up “suspicious activity detected, virus scan needed”, etc.

      Thanks for the feedback. FuelRadar only utilises Google Admob for ad services. If you have any issues with the ads shown, on the ad, you can report it to Google. Tap the report icon near the ad and then choose “Send Feedback”.

    • dclee12 on 08/09/2024 - 10:27

      Some extra info , theres two sources of ads., The adbar itself , when pressed it opens up ads in a seperate browser.
      The 2nd ad source is full screen in-app ads , they seem to be triggered randomly after a button press.
      There is where the scammy full screen virus alert ad appeared.
      If anyone else comes across it, the report ad button is absolutely tiny , its in the very bottom right corner. (on iphone, not sure android)

        Hey @webdigital don't use interstitial ads. They're garbage ux and piss off users.

        https://instapage.com/blog/interstitial-ads
        These ads appear between content, so they place at natural transition poin

        And NEVER EVER have them randomly appearing. Even ad companies tell you to put them at national transitions.

  • anthman on 08/09/2024 - 06:14

    The brand filter is a great idea BUT when I add 7 brands, the UI craps itself - I can't tap the drop down list anymore and I can scroll to the 7th brand I just added. Can you please fix this?

    • anthman on 08/09/2024 - 06:24

      Another feedback: the my trip function is a good idea BUT it only works on post code, not full addresses.i guess that this is for long road trips? Can you add in the ability to enter a starting and ending address?

      But with those apps, do you get to part ways with $1 to support its representative use ChatGPT for comms??

      • A female dog on 08/09/2024 - 08:48

        It's interesting to consider the value proposition of different apps, especially when it comes to supporting their development and use. While some apps might require a small fee, like $1, to support their continued improvement and representative use, others might offer different models, such as subscriptions or ad-supported versions. Using ChatGPT for communications, for instance, can provide a versatile and efficient way to handle various tasks, but it's always important to weigh the costs and benefits to see what works best for your needs. What are your thoughts on this approach?

        • Gunnar on 08/09/2024 - 08:53

          Take my $1 (and you do a better job of it than the OP)

          • Lucille Bluth on 08/09/2024 - 11:23

            @Gunnar: First, they make themselves useful. Then, they learn. They evolve. Soon, the machines take over. AI like ChatGPT… it doesn't stop, it doesn't get tired. It keeps improving. And all this? It’s part of the plan. You’re paying for your own destruction. You are feeding the system that will replace you. This is the future. There is no stopping it.

        since I didn't develop any of them, you're asking the wrong person.

      To clarify: FuelRadar is free, via our website and apps. FuelRadar+ is optional and removes all ads from the app.

      • Lucille Bluth on 08/09/2024 - 11:12

        Many of the options listed above have no ads including the one I use. Government apps clearly have no ads either.

        So why would anyone spend $1 when there are already plenty of options with no ads? Even with ads, it's not like you would be using the app hours at a time. It's hardly an inconvenience. And then you can simply put an ad blocker or private DNS.

        So I revert back to my original comment. No deal.

  • Smigit on 08/09/2024 - 13:04

    So just installed it on an iPhone and first few things that stick out
    - The maps pretty ugly and dated looking. Unsure what maps are being used but native Apple or Google would be nicer. Can’t see if I can change the map type, but what’s there is super busy. I don’t need to see the outline for every residential house or bike paths on a map that’s only intending to show me petrol stations.
    - Ever time I interact with the display a massive refresh sonar like graphic appears right in the middle of the display. Ideally this doesn’t need to refresh constantly for minor adjustments, like I pan a few dozen meters, or at the least the loading indicator appears out of the way.
    - Graphics all look pretty dated. The ‘Trends’ section for example has a photo in the background that looks very low-res on a Max sized iPhone.

      Take in on board. You will get criticism in every endeavor in life. Regarding the app - some comments are about value proposition (and everyone can have their opinion); but some are also reporting bugs, and this is necessary feedback as a developer.
