Description

Pumps.ie for Android will help you get the best price for your petrol and diesel throughout Ireland. Why not update your local fuel prices in the app, and help others find the bargains. It can all be done in the app (register a Pumps.ie username in the app's Preferences page).

*Get the nearest stations and price info to your current location

*Rank stations by distance or by price and in decreasing or increasing order

*See fuel trends at a glance

*Easily keep an eye on your frequently visited stations using your Watchlist (needs a Pumps.ie account)

*View station details including;
-All fuel prices, and update time
-Location Map

Some notes:
*Switching the fuel type sets the default fuel type used by the app.

If you experience any other problems with the app, do consider dropping an email to the developer outlining the issue.

Great app for finding cheap diesel/petrol I have been using the web version for years and found it great. This app recently redesigned with a very slick interface is great for finding cheap diesel/petrol when you are out and about. Also I had a problem with a new phone and Edwin provided a new version within a few hours. What a service! Highly recommended. Also the more users the more useful the app. Try it!

Colman Nolan

Update Since updating this app I can get no details of filling stations near me. The screen is blank and the only thing I see is a message "getting location link". Unfortunately the app just hangs at this and nothing else happens. After getting s reply from Ed I reinstalled the app and got a message to update Google Play. After the update pumps.ie works fine. Many thanks for the quick response.

Alex Martin

Use this all the time and find it very handy. Works even better with my s7 after the latest update. Would be nice to set the default view as my watch list and set it to distance near to far. I suppose the ads were inevitable to fund the app. Thanks Edwin!

Great stuff! Being actively developed once more, each release brings improvements, the devs are clearly listening to the users. For those who have complained about the accuracy of the prices, this is not a fault of the app or its developer, remember its only as good as its userbase, the more users the better. This app is a wonderful tool, it's up to us, the users to make it work!

I've been using this app on and off for years. I even used the website before there was an app. However it's getting to the stage now that the app is so useless that people are not submitted at the rate they once used to. There used to be a lot lot more ways of searching, filter and refining. In the past there was an option of selecting any major route in the country. The map doesn't show much of an area anymore either.

Dmitry Kirsanov

Spoiled Just like many other apps, it was good at the beginning, but author improved it to the state of unusable. Besides, it's useless, because prices aren't that different, so the app won't save you anything.

Hi Colman, Could you uninstall the app and try reinstalling please and let me know if that makes any difference? You can drop me an email at ed.android@gmail.com if you need to. Regards Ed

Hi Alex, Last night's included some watchlist and setting improvements. Hopefully things are becoming useful. Regards Ed

Edwin Costello October 16, 2016

Thanks for the feedback. The app is being updated again so hopefully it will be of use again. The LPG idea is something that would have to be added via Pumps.ie website before it could feature on the app but perhaps in the future. Regards Edwin

Hi Dmitry, Thanks for the feedback. If you can give some detail around what you find unusable in the app itself, I can make efforts to improve things. Thanks Ed

Ronan Hederman January 9, 2017

Great app but Facebook login broken I have a Samsung S7 and I can't login with Facebook. Otherwise deadly app

May 8, 2017

Useless. Tells me I'm logged in through Facebook but keeps asking me to use pumps.ie credentials. Refuses to let me in telling me credentials are wrong. No wonder people are not updating it and uninstalling it. No way of reseting or checking your details.

kojaq S June 2, 2017

Simple brilliant community driven fuel price checker. You can easily save a free lunch or pint for simply going to a cheaper petrol station in the area. Could use odometer / MPG meter. Other than that great!

MagicMumbo January 10, 2017

Utter Rubbish What a useless app. Does nothing but state nothing in my local area but the 4 stations within 2 miles of my home... Utter trashware!

Edwin Costello January 10, 2017

Hi, You can increase the radius used to search for stations up to 20km, that may bring in more results. If stations are missing I encourage you to go to Pumps.ie and try to add them. All information is maintained by Pumps.ie users so missing stations can be resolved. Regards Edwin

David M February 5, 2017

Seems to be relying on people to update it. Very few updates. Uninstalled.

Edwin Costello February 5, 2017

Hi David, Thanks for the feedback. www.Pumps.ie is a crowdsourcing platform for fuel price information, that's how it works, it's an entirely free platform. I'm sorry people in your area are not updating prices, but I disagree that the app deserves a 1-star rating because of this. Price availability is a separate issue to app functionality. Ed

Margareta Antoneta Hojman March 14, 2017

Coudnt open the app.....v v v v desapionted. Not recomended

Alan R December 20, 2016

Great community app Best to use this 2 ways - use to find cheapest fuel prices and update these prices to help others.

Bryan S December 29, 2016

Reset password Overall good app but but no option to reset password is a letdown. Most apps would have this feature or advise how to.

Edwin Costello December 29, 2016

Hi Bryan, Thanks for the feedback. Account management should be done via the pumps.ie website. The app is developed separately. I'm sorry, giving a 1 star review in order to ask for a feature is unfair given the effort that goes into developing this. You could have dropped me an email to ask about it and I'd be happy to discuss there. Ed

Andrew Kavanagh July 8, 2017

Doesn't work

Ian Murphy March 18, 2017

Good, but needs to operate in landscape mode.

Dave Vance February 20, 2017

Rubbish

Will Pantland November 28, 2016

I have to say a very good app. Use it all the time. Love the new look and set up. Thanks

Edwin Costello October 30, 2016

Hi Will, Thanks for the feedback. The ability to edit your watch list has been added in last night's update so hopefully the app is becoming more useful. Regards Ed

Stephen Winterson November 25, 2016

New updates solved slow app The new updated app was initially much slower than the old app but after the few updates the new app is much quicker so im upping from 3 stars to 4. It would be nice to have a map view of the petrol stations without having to go into a station.

Edwin Costello November 25, 2016

Hi Stephen, Thanks for the feedback. Glad you got sorted. Version 4.5 is being rolled out today that has the map of the station list, so check for the update coming through. Regards Ed

Lai Wei November 15, 2016

This used to be a excellent app. Recent redesign ruined it! The map view in the old design was very useful for me. My work place is over 20 km away from home, and I used to be able to check fuel price near work easily using the map when I'm at home, now the option is gone. Also the coloring on the map overlay is a cool feature.

Edwin Costello November 25, 2016

Hi, Thanks for the feedback and the info. The map view has been added in the latest release so hopefully will find the app useful again. Regards Ed

David O'Doherty October 31, 2016

Useful app. Great to see it being updated again. Only problem is that I have is that while I can see my old Watchlist; I can't add or remove locations from it.

Edwin Costello October 31, 2016

Hi David, Thanks for the feedback. If you tap one of the stations on your watchlist you will go into the station detail screen. Use the star button on the top right to add and remove stations from your watchlist. Regards Ed

shane doyle November 7, 2016

Well this is handy, works really well, not sure how accurate the prices are yet, but handy to have all the same.. Also really nice to have a developer who replies to their feedback

Edwin Costello November 7, 2016

Hi Shane, Thanks for the feedback, the prices are updated by users such as your self. Check out the website www.Pumps.ie for more info! Regards Ed

Christopher Higgins November 5, 2016

Shite SHITE.

Edwin Costello November 7, 2016

Hi Christopher, I'm sorry your not happy with the app. Is there anything in particular that you think would help to improve the app? Regards Ed

Anne Kearns October 24, 2016

Can't use Watchlist anymore!!! I have the latest version of Pumps, and I have an account. However since the update before last, my Watchlist disappeared and I now no longer have the option to create a Watchlist. Very frustrating!!

Edwin Costello October 30, 2016

Hi Anna, Thanks for the feedback. The watch list features are back in last night's update. More updates to come so hopefully you find it of use. Regards Ed

Gareth Vance October 22, 2016

Poor communication I've an issue with locating the preferences page on my phone. Therefore I cannot set the app up as I would like it. I've emailed the developer but alas no reply. Has great potential but needs support. Update 22.10.16. App has been redesigned and is somewhat improved but there doesn't appear to be a facility to add stations to your watchlist. Getting better but not quite there yet

Edwin Costello October 30, 2016

Hi Gareth, Thanks for the feedback. The watchlist features have been improved in last night's update so you can add and remove stations once again. Regards Ed

Udo Scholze October 22, 2016

Useless Does not let me switch to Diesel on my Galaxy S5 and way too few updates on the prices (which is not the fault of the app ofc). Other apps I used like gas buddy are so much better... Update: now I can switch to Diesel but the app is still useless as there's no way to sort by most recent updates and the sort by distance is totally out of whack too. I'm being shown prices from 2012 and there's no way to limit matches to, say, updates during the last 7 days or so. Uninstalled again...

Edwin Costello October 22, 2016

Hi Udo, The app has recently been updated so hopefully the app can be of use to you again. Regards Ed

Joseph McGinley October 20, 2016

Bug Location is cached, so when I hit 'refresh', it still looks up my old location. This is a serious problem.

Edwin Costello October 20, 2016

Hi Joseph, Thanks for the feedback. That's the current behaviour to reduce the pressure on the website rather than a bug. That said, the next update will include a change of behaviour so that if your location changes dramatically it will update the set of stations rather the just updating distances. Regards Edwin

Pawel Kulak October 20, 2016

Bad app Stopped working after update. White screen and menu is all I can see. No petrol stations. Nothing

Edwin Costello October 20, 2016

Hi Pawel, If you'd like to drop me an email at ed.android@gmail.com I can troubleshoot with you there. One thing is to check in settings that the search range is high enough. Say 10km, if you are in a rural area. Thanks Ed

Mike Crotty October 18, 2016

Latest update After a few teething problems the new version is very slick

Michael Stakelum October 22, 2016

Vast Improvement. Thanks Ed. Glad to say everything is working great now. Thanks for the update.

Edwin Costello October 22, 2016

Hi Michael, Thanks for the feedback. The app has recently been updated so hopefully it can be of use to you again. Regards Ed

al sherwin October 21, 2016

NOT WORKING I installed this twice and has not worked,whats the problem here?

Edwin Costello October 22, 2016

Hi Al, If you describe in a little more detail how the app isn't working I may be able to help. Is the app crashing? You can email me at ed.android@gmail.com telling me your phone type and I can help troubleshoot. Regarda Ed

Emmanuel Stratford October 18, 2016

I like the updates but I can't search by county anymore or add anything to my watch list, I liked to search stations on my route but can only see ones within 10kms, please fix Thanks for the update, looking forward to them, cheers

Edwin Costello October 18, 2016

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. The features you mentioned will be added back in over the next few updates. Regards Ed

Chris Crow October 17, 2016

Getting better

Fergus Burke October 15, 2016

Great Idea for an App but harder to identify stations Getting better please keep updating the app. But I agree with another review saying it's harder to identify the petrol stations. I live in Kilkenny City and some of the petrol stations are not called what comes up on the app. If you could please have a look at that. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Emma McAuley October 16, 2016

Positive and negative UPDATED 16OCT2016: BRILLIANT! You've got the changes done so quickly THANK YOU. One can identify the stations by brand now which makes much more sense and one can sort by distance or price. I also like the fact that you've put the color to the side. WELL DONE. + I like the up and down arrow for changing the prices but - harder to identify stations now where exactly is Lucan Service Station when it should be Texaco Lucan Bypass... - also hard to see on phone (previous font sizes worked better).

Edwin Costello October 13, 2016

Hi Emma, Thanks for the feedback on the UI, we'll look at making some improvements on that. Ed

John Nolan October 15, 2016

Big Improvement with the new UI New UI is a big improvement. Would like to be able to sort by price again. (This has been added again - thanks!)

Edwin Costello October 13, 2016

Hi John, Thanks for the feedback. Hope to add in all previously functionality over the next few updates. The app is being rewritten and it was thought getting some core functionality into people's hands was important first. Bear with us, work in progress! Ed

Colin Rogan October 14, 2016

New release Great update - long overdue to a well used app. At last the updating of price is using the common dial feature requested ages ago. There is a bug in the price update screen - shows petrol price as xxx.9 regardless of value after decimal point.

Edwin Costello October 15, 2016

Hi Colin, An update had been submitted that fixes this along with some improvements. Thanks for the feedback. Regards Ed

Pat Scanlan October 15, 2016

working again 😊 but reduced functionality. no sorting? no select by area and location..but good to have back

Edwin Costello October 15, 2016

Hi Pat, An update has just been submitted that has the sorting working, it should come through to phones over the next few hours. The app is being rewritten so functionality will be restored over the next few updates too. But as you said, it's working again! Thanks for the feedback. Ed

B Sue October 16, 2016

Wishlist broken As title says wishlist is blank after the update i have used this app for years and now this update broke it please fix. I have to do my user name and password ever time i open the app

Edwin Costello October 14, 2016

Hi, Could you try going into the settings and making sure your login details are entered? Regards Edwin

László Bodor October 13, 2016

New version is horrible DO NOT UPGRADE. Shortlist doesn't work, it shows nearby. Can no longer search by area. Can no longer sort by price. Color codes not understandable and not documented. I wish I could downgrade to the previous version.

Edwin Costello October 14, 2016

Hi, Could you try going into the settings and making sure you login in details are correct? The colours have the same meaning as the website. Red- price increase Yellow- no change Green - price decrease Regards Edwin
