Gas Log - MPG Fuel Calculator App Reviews

It works 

So far so good. Easy to set up, with wide variety of functions. Good ap for Canada

Great for tracking new truck mileage !

This is exactly what I was looking for to check mileage and record trip and to check histor. Even better now I can export my infomation for expense reporting !

What does this do?

Not much use to me. After entering data for months it does no calculations & just shows data Ive input (a piece of paper can do that). I have changed setting as indicated to get mpg or k/100 or cost per mi or but never get that info calculated. Not impressed.

Works well

Been using this app for years. It works well - glad to see the iOS 7 and iPhone 5 update.

Nice and helpful tool!

I like this app! Does a pretty good job and you can keep an accurate track of your MPG. You can add different cars if you have more in the household. I wish if the text you enter could use a bigger font though. I think its too tiny. There is enough space to make the text area smaller and the font bigger.

Good

Why does the MPG not work Adding all the info very easy

Fail

It requires that you put how many miles instead of just putting the mileage. I am tired of crapy apps that you have to pay for. This app needs to be made free untill the maker makes app more usable.

A good start but needs improvement

Its not bad. What I would like to see is the ability to select the date range I want to report on. For examples, if I want to see milage/cost informaton for 2008 I should be able to select start date and end date. I also would like to see abiltiy to export the data to MS Excel or even just a CSV file for futher analysis.

DO NOT BUY

This app is poorly designed, from an end user perspective. Some functionality does not work at all. Try again guys... We should all get a refund. DO NOT BUY

Crapware - Do not buy!

This app is nothing like Gas Cubby. Buyer beware. The lower price doesnt compare to referenced competitor. Apple needs a return policy and/or forced demo version requirement for all software.

App for ONE VEHICLE ONLY

Hello, I purchased this app thinking that it could be used for multiple vehicles. YOU CAN NOT. BEWARE....... While you can add additional vehicles, you cannot add gas purchases etc. DO NOT BUY THIS....

Only one with a trip odometer option. Works fine.

Geesh... spent way too much time looking for a simple MPG app. I wanted to use the trip odometer, not standard odometer, and finally got that on this (3rd app I tried). Interface is solid and worth the 99 cents. Would be nice if they had some graphing options.

You get what you pay for

This app may only cost $.99, but you get what you pay for. It requires you to add up your own milage in order to get your average dollar and distance per mile. You would think an application created to track and compare this data would be able to figure that out on its own. Sadly, it does not. And if you dont know this at first, its your job to go back, delete all the entries, subtrack your milage from previous entries and add them all back. Its just too much trouble for me. I dont commonly keep an extra caculator lying around my car.

Works fine on 3GS

This app works just fine. Contrary to what other reviewers have said you can have multiple vehicles. And the only way to figure out mpg is to input your miles (duh) and the gallons you are adding so of course you have to know how far youve driven. You can use a trip odometer ("tripometer") or the odometer reading and it will compute the miles driven for you. Just set it up with your starting information and everytime you fillup you enter how many miles and how many gallons. The mpg will compute and log it. Just like Ive been doing on paper but this is easier. The only complaint I have is that its a little hard to find all the directions. Apparently you get directions depending on what page you are on when you request help so its not all in one place. If you follow the directions though itll work fine. Good app for 99 cents.

Great little app

I really like this app. It is sime to use. I like having the ability to separate work and personal vehicles. Two recommendations for improvement. First have a field in the vehicle setup to put the starting mileage. I just created a bogus first entry and had no cost associated. And second, besides just the total cost of gas it would be great to track the individual per gallon gas cost and allow trending of that over time. Great app!!!! Dont believe the early reviews...I set this up in like 5 minutes.

Review

The app works fine for tracking fuel efficiency. As a small business owner it would be helpful to have a seperate category to track business milage for tax reasons.

lost my data on update - do not buy!

I had a good number of records in v1.3 and just updated to v1.4 today - it blew away all my records! I tried to restore the app from iTunes, and no luck....my records are toast. If youre going to buy this, DONT UPDATE it if an update comes along - youll lose your data! And, since theres no way to export the data you input, you cant back up the data. Sure, its backed up in iTunes, but I dont want to restore my entire iPhone since Ive made changes in other programs that will be lost if I did that. I like the program - good interface - but lacks export feature. Which, after my experience today, Ive determined is a critical missing feature. Ill be searching for another mileage app that has an export feature.

Great App, upped my previous rating

I bought this app several months ago as all I was looking for was a simple way to keep up with MPG for 2 cars. The app works great. I emailed Alex the developer about adding some fields to input info such as VIN, license plate, ins. policy, tire presssure, etc. He replied back to me the same day thanking me for my suggestions and that it was an easy fix and he would put them in on the next version. I told him if he added the suggestions, I would up my rating to 5 stars. Unfortunately you have to delete the app then reinstall it to get the new version, at least I did. This meant I would lose the data I had already input. Fortunately I keep a back up in excel so could put back all my data. Even if you dont have your data backed up somewhere, you can write it down before deleting the app. The app warns you that you will lose your data if you delete the program. If you delete the app before writing it down, its your own fault. That said, it would be nice if it didnt delete on upgrades and hopefully he will get a fix for this.

Great app

Does everything I need.

Nicely Done!

This app is very well designed. Its easy to use and has a lot of features.
