Indie App Highlight: GasPulse Helps You Monitor Local Gas Price Trends

Author: Digitio

Welcome to Indie App Highlight. This is a weekly Digitio series that showcases the newest indie apps. Developers interested in having their app featured can reach out.

These days, fuel prices change frequently. If you’d like a clearer picture of current movements, GasPulse serves as a handy utility, offering trend data, historical figures, and a forward‑looking view directly on your iPhone.

Key Features

By leveraging the weekly averages released by the Energy Information Administration, GasPulse displays fuel costs for every state or region. Rather than pinpointing the lowest‑priced station, it visualizes trends through charts and a clean interface, and it includes up to five years of historical data.

Additionally, the app includes an Outlook function that projects future price movements. These projections are estimates, yet they provide a hint of whether prices are likely to rise or fall. GasPulse also enables side‑by‑state comparisons, so you can gauge how your area stacks up against others.

For those who desire notifications, GasPulse supplies free price alerts for as many as six locations, contingent on iOS background refresh being enabled.

Finally, the app provides home‑screen and lock‑screen widgets so you can monitor prices at a glance, and it also integrates with Siri.

Download the app

GasPulse can be downloaded free of charge from the App Store for iPhone devices running iOS 18 or newer. No subscription is needed and the app contains no ads.
