Fuel Stations Nearby 1.2.1.0
Nonetheless, the modern day advances in technology make it possible for anyone to enjoy a virtual assistant that is able to take care of all those tasks. For Windows Phone users there are many alternatives and the one called Fuel Stations Nearby could bring you a little bit more than you would expect.
Uncomplicated interface, with a functional look
The utility comes with a friendly GUI, fairly well designed as it has some nice looking images on the shortcut tiles it hosts in the various sections. The various categories that are at your disposal are grouped in a convenient manner, so the related areas of interest share the same screen and can be accessed with one tap.
The navigation inside the app is very fluent and while inside the map mode there is a slight but noticeable delay as the locations corresponding to the selected query are identified and marked.
Built-in searches and seamless integration with HERE Maps
Fuel Stations Nearby relies entirely on the HERE Maps application and the different categories you have at your disposal are nothing more than custom searches that are sent automatically to the target utility to have the results shown on the spot.
If the main area of interest for this tool is said to be the localization of gas stations, the content made ready for you inside the app makes it very clear that it is a versatile solution that can provide a lot more information.
Various types of places await to be discovered with one tap
By going inside the "Explore Nearby" section of the application you will be able to discover the cinemas, coffee shops, malls or restaurants close to your present location. Should you need to get to a police station, see a medic or take care of finances, these are also easy to find thanks to the quick links provided by this app.
There are some more categories you can discover and browse, but it is important to note that the information even if it is accurate, for the most part is incomplete, as many, some even more relevant places are not marked on the maps for some reason.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface of this utility is quite pleasant, with some nice graphics and a smooth navigation inside the categories and the delay in loading the data is the main letdown from this respect. |
Function5
Since it is completely relying on another app to function, Fuel Stations Nearby doesn't have much going on for itself, except for a good assortment of search shortcuts presented as categories inside the front-end. |
Security9
The access to maps and location services is necessary for this too lto work, but it also needs to look into the music library for some reason. |
Battery7
The power consumption for this app is a bit above moderate, so the battery usage records levels that pass the average mark. |
Price6
The assortment of categories included inside this app is fairly useful, but its dependence on the HERE Maps application takes away much of its value. |
Compatibility6
Mostly suited for the modern handsets, this utility runs only on Windows Phone 8 and higher devices with HERE Maps installed. |
