Been using this lately, great app. It is constantly updated live and updates 4 or 5 times a day.

Hi Guys.

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello!

The Android software is developed by a volunteer of the site from OnTheFenceDevelopment. I believe he's working on a new version which with by compatible for iPhone too.

It's a great app! I make great use of it. If it included Southern Ireland as well it would be even better :up:

What would I need to incorporate for making it useful for Southern Ireland?
I presume I'd need some way of using different currencies?

I bought www.filllpg.com with the intentions of making the site world wide.

A method of displaying in the local as well as home currency could be done by linking to an exchange rate site, most people are interested in location rather than the price anyhow.

Hi,

The biggest list of LPG stations is located here: www.lpgstations.com

hope youll find it useful,
Rytis



I didn't know about the one in Carraigtowhill OR Mallow. Nice find. Thanks for posting that link! :up:

The map is a bit off for O'Callaghan's service station in Ballyvolane, Cork city. It is pointing to a location about 1 km away from where the service station is. :(

If they are there, please add them to my site. The whole reason I created this was because many of the existing sites didn't exist or the points were in the wrong place.

I added one for AutoGas, Tramore Road, Cork City, Southern Ireland just to try it out. (Station ID 2150)

Everything works fine when entering the info but yes, the currency function needs to be worked out. It only shows GBP. I entered 99 (€0.99c) and it highlights as red on the map (more expensive than other locations). Other than that, pretty effortless to add the info.

It appears someone else added this location last month but didn't add a price. (Station ID 2118)

One slight glitch when fine tuning the pin pointer position on the map, the option to progress to the next step is a bit hidden. you need to scroll down in the small window to find the Yes/No button. It might be an idea to move it to a more prominent location or make that window a little bigger?

Also, on the sales pitch for the app, it says "FillLPG provides access to price and location information for hundreds of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) filling stations around the UK". This is the first thing I read when opening up the advert for the App. Based on this opening sentence, I would have gone no further as it states UK. It gives the impression that it doesn't cater for folks outside the UK. Needs a bit of clarification.

Beyond that, great resource, best of luck with it!
