Fuel Finder remains the same great app as before, with gas prices and location data still provided by GasBuddy.com. Only the name and logo have changed.

Fuel Finder is great looking and has more features than any gas price app available on the market today.  Learn more about Fuel Finder’s features, or buy Fuel Finder now on the App Store, and start saving money today!

Gas Buddy is a Top 5 App for Holiday Shopping According to ABC News

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Your smartphone is just the device you need to find the best bargains. ABC News tells you how to save money while shopping this holiday season and one recommendation they have is to use Bottle Rocket’s Gas Buddy app.

Prices can vary as much as 20% from station to station and with all the driving you’re doing to find the perfect gift, you’ll want to save money so your gas tank doesn’t drain your budget. To find the cheapest gas within reach, you simply need to enter your zip code or let the app figure out your current location by GPS. Gas Buddy will identify all the gas stations in your area, their proximity and what they are charging.

Taking the Day Off

Please excuse us if we are not responsive today.

We have been awaiting the iPhone 4 arrival for a long time. Some of us were smart (or is it lucky?) and pre-ordered the iPhone 4 to be delivered lovingly to our doorstep. Others of us will be waiting in line first thing Thursday morning. Nonetheless, all of us soon-to-be iPhone 4 owners have awaited this day for a while. Whether we are anxiously waiting in line or already experimenting with your new feature set, you can rest assured that 100% of our attention will be focused on the iPhone 4 today. (If you are a current client, we promise that we’re actually working very hard on your app!)

We can now enjoy our favorite Apple apps in a new and different way:

  • Multitasking: Listen to NPR Music in the background as we play Doodle Bomb.
  • Thinner Frame: And, of course, buying all the accessories to accompany the new design.
  • Gift Apps: Sending mom the Gas Buddy app so she can find the cheapest gas nearest her GPS location.
  • Video Calling: Using FaceTime to tell our friends and family about the new (soon to be announced) Bottle Rocket apps.
  • Extended Battery Life: Spending more time with the Disney® Craft Finder without having to hook up for more juice.

How will you be spending quality time with your new iPhone 4?
