Title. I've used forever, suspected they're not great, but recently saw just how awful they truly are having partnered with Allstate and their data hoarding practices. The app hasn't been granted permissions but that doesn't stop them into uninstalled.

I need another foss or crowd-sourced fuel price app. A couple mentioned in online articles I can't find shit on like Fuelmap, Stationpass, etc. Nothing in F-Droid but auto mando? Doesn't quite fill the need.

I use the gasbuddy web site now and then. I've refused to install the app just like I refuse any app like that. The web site is a pain but you can use it with some persistence. It's surely invasive too, and it's probably best to access it through a VPN, but it can't be as bad as the app sounds.
