In this day and age, gas prices fluctuate quite a lot. If you want to have a better idea of how things are flowing, GasPulse is a great tool – giving you trends, historical prices, and an outlook to follow on your iPhone.
Using the weekly averages published by the Energy Information Administration, GasPulse shows you prices for each state or region. It’s not an app that’ll show you the cheapest gas station, but it shows you the trends with charts and a nice interface. It also has up to five years of historical prices.
Beyond that, it also offers an Outlook feature that gives you an idea of what to expect in the future. These are estimates, but it gives you a little bit of insight on whether or not things will go up or down. GasPulse also offers state-by-state comparisons, allowing you to see how things compare around you.
If you want price alerts, GasPulse also offers them for free for up to 6 areas, though it relies on iOS background refresh.
Lastly, GasPulse offers home screen and lock screen widgets, allowing you to keep an eye on things without opening the app. There’s also Siri support.
GasPulse is available for free on the App Store for iPhone users running iOS 18 and later. There’s no requirement for a subscription, and it’s ad-free.

Michael is 9to5Mac’s Weekend Editor, keeping up with all of the latest Apple news on Saturday and Sunday. He got started in the world of Apple news during the pandemic, and it became a growing hobby. He’s also an indie iOS developer in his free time, and has published numerous apps over the years.
Featuring two built in cables, a built in display, multiple ports, a 25,000mAh capacity, and up to 100W of output – this is one of the best battery banks for recharging your entire Apple ecosystem on the go.
Despite a new version reportedly being around a corner, I still personally believe AirPods Pro 2 are a great deal. They're already equipped with USB-C, and continually gain new software features. With them consistently going on sale, it's a great purchase to make. Features like Adaptive Audio are incredible.
