Petrol Spy Australia 4+

This is the easiest fuel watch app to navigate and appears to face the most users regularly updating prices.
My only complaint is that you can’t upload prices if over 3km away.
I want to upload my price paid when at home rather than on the forecourt since at the cheapest fuel stops, there’s usually someone wanting to take your space ASAP. I would be able to upload more frequently if the distance was increased to say 10km.

I really appreciate the accuracy and simplicity of this app, I’ve used it for over a year now. Who doesn’t want to save a few dollars on petrol. Yes there is advertising, but it’s a free app, what can you expect... There’s just one thing that’s really started to bug me recently. Costco. I saw these really cheap prices for fuel, so turned up to fill up. But my journey was wasted as the pump didn’t work. Yep, you need to be a Costco member, and membership costs around $60/yr. They shouldn’t be listed on this app - it’s misleading and I’d say unfair for other normal fuel stations nearby that are not members only. And it wasted my time. And now I have to scan to find the second cheapest after Costco which obviously won’t show in red. Great app - just ban member only service station!

I have used this app for some time. I also use another which is much easier to use. Recently, as soon as I start using the app and go to update prices, I get a full screen advert. There is an X in the top left of the screen, to close it. But the add will not close. You have to press the X a number of times, which is very frustrating. This app relies on people like me who regularly update prices. Without individuals updating petrol prices, this app is worth nothing to its users. If I keep getting confronted with a full screen add, which refuses to close, I will no longer update prices on this app and will no longer use it.
