Scout

Top Con

Users can not post gas prices

Gas station prices are not posted by users, and there is no time stamp on when prices were last updated. It leaves the user somewhat blind to what actual prices are like at any time. See More

MapQuest Gas Prices

Top Pro

MapQuest map layout

As opposed to a Google maps view, MapQuest uses their own map to display where stations are. Their map is more detailed than Google Maps. It also gives you the option to navigate to a station using MapQuest. See More

Top Con

Stations only sortable by fuel type

This limits the user to locate specific gas companies or to find locations that offer special services. It only provides the bare bones of providing a list of stations narrowed down to the type of fuel you prefer. See More

Top Pro

Informative pages for each gas station

A pager for a station displays information on gas prices (as well as when they were last updated), a phone number, map view, option to navigate to it, and any additional services the station provides. See More

Top Con

Feels like an outdated app

The user interface is slow and feels glitchy. Menus feel slow to respond and font colors are not utilized to highlight unique features. See More
