Gas Up Status 6/28/2010

First, I would like to extend a thank you to the 100+ individuals that have downloaded Gas Up, and especially to the 98 or so that still have it installed as of this moment. Thank you for giving it a try, thank you to those that have submitted gas prices, and most especially, thank you for not hunting me down and hurting me… 🙂

Second, I’ve looked at the data that has been submitted so far, and I’ve noticed a couple of things:

Most of the data submitted has not been submitted at a gas station. Not that I’m complaining about your efforts and enthusiasm, but please submit gas prices only when you’re at a gas station! I don’t have any means of automatically determining what gas station you were thinking of when you submitted the price, and with the exception of one individual that submitted a gas price at “Loaf & Jug” in Wyoming, I couldn’t begin to guess where that gas station you meant actually is.

Next, a few of you helped me discover that entries can be successfully submitted with a price of $0.00. This issue has been corrected already, and the fix will appear in the next release which I hope to make in the next 24-48 hours.

Finally, you may or may not have noticed that when you tap on a gas station icon, you get multiple boxes telling you the gas price. This bug too has been squashed, and the fix will be in the next release.

Now, I had hoped to make that second release last evening, but a recurring crash has plagued my efforts all evening. I’m going to spend some time today (Monday June 28th) doing some research, and hopefully I’ll have this issue fixed and out of the way of the next release by the end of the day.

Once again, thank you for giving me a chance!
