I'm thrilled to today release v4.0 of Petty to the App Store. Petty is an app made for NSW motorists, designed to help them stay up to date with real-time petrol prices, average prices, and trends.
Petty has been on the App Store for over three years now, but this is its biggest update yet. A lot of work has gone into this release, with some features being a work-in-progress for the better part of a year. Work has really ramped up in the last few months, to get it ready for a launch that coincides with the release of iOS 14. Also a massive thanks to J who helped with the design work for the new Dashboard tab.
So, what's new? Lots!
- Real-time average prices - view the current average price of E10, U91, P95, and P98 petrol.
- Price trends and history - view price trends for up to 30 days.
- Favourites - mark stations as favourite for convenient access.
- Dashboard tab - Now the primary tab of the app. It's the place to view current average prices, trends/history, and access your favourites.
- Compare - compare prices between stations, or even to the current average prices across NSW.
- Map - now shows more stations at a time.
- Widgets (iOS 14 only) - View average prices and price trends on your homescreen. Or choose to show the current real-time prices at a particular station. The choice is yours.
- Subscriptions - added a yearly subscription, with a 7-day free trial.
It's a big one, and there's still plenty more to come.
You can check it out and download for free on the App Store. A taste of all features is included without subscribing. Features such as (but not limited to) trends, compare, and favourites are available in a limited capacity without an active subscription.
Fitting with recent goals and themes of the apps, there's no third-party code, no analytics, and no tracking. If you like the app, you pay for premium features. We don't make money in other ways.
Hope you like the update. If you've got any feature suggestions, questions, or complaints, feel free to get in touch - I'd love to hear from you! Twitter is the best place to do that, otherwise the contact form on this website is fine.
