The new app update is great. The only thing it seems to be missing is location. It needs to have location so when you're looking for a station on the map, it will locate where you are as a starting point.

Update 2024: still has tons of good info and has recent check-ins indicating it's getting used. Map has issues causing an error on loading but still usable ( just). Good comprehensive search engine.

It's decent but needs to allow us to add or update the map as most stations stopped for a while having e85 and now it's hit or miss and changes at random so once a year isn't enough.
