I had tried the GasBuddy app, but after I uninstalled it I kept getting email (spam) from them.
I requested they they delete my data. It was an onerous process. Today, nine days later, they sent a message confirming that my personal data has been deleted.
If you care at all about your data privacy--or at least not getting spammed into perpetuity--please avoid the GasBuddy app.
I should add that GasBuddy sent me email regarding upcoming "Updated Terms of Service (Effective April 24th, 2026)"
Generally when I see a change in terms of service, it's not for the benefit of the user.
The app was poor and of no value to me, so I had uninstalled it long ago.
Their long tentacles made me sorry that I had ever installed it.
@johnlogic its based in TX, I really wouldn't put it past these apps being used to collect data by the oil companies to work out just how much they can push up the prices.
My experience of "free" motoring-related apps is they are only given away so companies can try and market you car-related services (my country has compulsory yearly inspection and insurance, so there's loads of companies fighting like rats to try and get this business)
@johnlogic I've got #GasBuddy on my phone but seldom use it. Used it more when I drove more & needed to shop gas prices.
Haven't been spammed by them AFAIK but I turn off all notifications, so it's unlikely that any notices have ever been sent to me anyway. 🤷♂️
