How to fix Gasbuddy not working
Gasbuddy is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Check GasBuddy outage reports
Open the report page for this service and compare the level with its usual baseline; a clear spike points to a service-side problem. If reports sit at the normal level, move on to the app on your device.
Force close and reopen GasBuddy
On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom edge and pause, then swipe the app card up to close it; on Android, open the recent apps screen and swipe the card away. Reopen the app and try loading the station list again.
Set location access for GasBuddy
On iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > GasBuddy and choose While Using the App. On Android, go to Settings > Apps > GasBuddy > Permissions > Location and allow access; without it, nearby prices and stations may stay blank.
Update or reinstall GasBuddy
Use the App Store or Google Play to find the app and install any pending update. If the screen still stalls, delete the app, restart the phone, then reinstall it from the same store and sign in again.
While Gasbuddy is down: what to use instead
- Google Maps It lists nearby stations and often shows fuel prices, so you can check a few stops before you drive.
- Waze Use it when you are already routing somewhere and want station locations and driver-reported prices along the way.
- AAA Gas Prices It gives state and metro averages, which helps you judge whether a station price is fair.
- Pay at the pump If the app's payment step fails, use a debit or credit card at the station pump.
Problems at the same time as Gasbuddy
Since 7 November, Gasbuddy's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Gasbuddy goes down
GasBuddy is a crowdsourced fuel price and station finder used mostly in the US by drivers comparing nearby prices and planning fill-ups. When it goes down, that quick price check and station lookup are what break.
The first sign is usually the price map or nearby station list failing to load, which leaves you without a way to compare posted prices before a fill-up. Price reporting can fail next. The app may still open with stale listings while fresh reports from other drivers do not arrive, so a partial outage can look like old data rather than a blank screen. Problems are often regional or platform-specific: one area or one app version can lose fresh prices while the rest of the service keeps working.

Tip: Gasbuddy doesn't list a public status page that we know of, so its help centre and the report chart on this page are the best places to check.
How we track Gasbuddy
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Gasbuddy, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Gasbuddy, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Gasbuddy doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
