About Fuelly Fuel-Up
First, if you have any questions, read through all of this. I tried to cover everything you may need to know.
Second, if I didn't cover it, please see the google group listed at the end and ask. The android rating system isn't great for communication, but the group is.

Introduction
Fuelly Fuel-Up is free and has no ads. It's just a simple interface made to be quick and easy.
SMS permissions are required for sending the texts to Fuelly.com
Fuelly.com is a website that allows for tracking of fuel consumption and your vehicle's actual and average "MPG", among other statistics.
They have a system in place that allows you to submit a fuel-up via text. That text must be formatted a certain way.
Fuelly Fuel-Up was initially created for my personal use so I didn't have to remember that format. I figured I would share it with others.
Setup Directions:
• In order to use Fuelly Fuel-Up, you must have an account with Fuelly.com
• The following is intended to help you get setup if you're not already.
• Login / create an account at Fuelly.com
• Click "Settings" on left menu panel.
• Under SMS Preferences, enter the phone number of the phone you'll be using this app on.
• Click "Save Changes" button at the bottom.
Important:
In the settings of this app, the default is to use their US phone number, but you can select the one most appropriate to you. Be aware, I have not actually tested using the other phone numbers. If anyone has any issues please let me know on the google group mentioned above.
Whatever you use, litres or gallons, miles or kilometers, just make sure to set that in your preferences on the fuelly website, and enter them in like normal. My app just sends the number you enter, fuelly takes that number as what your preference is set to. For more information see their FAQ for details... www.fuelly.com/faq/22/fuelup-via-SMS
A google group has been created to allow reporting of bugs or feature requests, or for any other communication.
To beta test, join the group and follow the instructions.

*Labels have been simplified, hopefully to reduce confusion.
Originally taken from fuelly.com, which uses Miles and Gallons, they are now displayed as Distance and Volume respectively.

Works great! (Just wish you could use km input). Previous review: I usually don't give low ratings to apps based on something so small; however, not being able to input kilometers makes this app unusable for me and many other people who would like to contribute to fuelly's database. A note to the developer: I realize that this may be complicated to do but if you could do that, you would be able to attract a massive user base (aka the rest of the world that uses the metric system).

I used to use this app all the time with regular success. But now it just crashes and refuses to send data. I'm done waiting for it to work again. Uninstalled. Phone is a LG G5 with Nougat.

The layout doesn't work in landscape mode. Also no way to send text using my Google voice number. Other than that it is great, fast and light.

This was a good app but now it will calculate diff numbers than what I enter. In the edit entry area online it shows the correct input but the dashboard is completely random saying I average 6mpg even though I'm closer to 40mpg.

Would be nice if you could name the vehicles instead of A-Z. Just a nice thought.

The only thing I'd recommend changing is the "distance" label to "odometer" It's fuelly's job to figure out the distance I went out the tank of gas... But it's a minor complaint from a first time user. I questioned it briefly. Thing is, I'll probably never really read the labels again - just glance to verify I'm in the right field... So it's not really a problem.

Cool app, I can see why the developer made this. Thanks! Fuelly can sometimes be a pain in the butt. Especially true cause I ride a motorcycle and don't always have the best data coverage in the places I go but I can usually send a text message out. Thanks again so much to the developer for this handy tool!

This is a much better app than Fuelly's own. I wasn't quite sure what the labels were asking for, until I realized that the app fills in all of the decimal points and .009 cents, so you'd pretty much have to be trying in order to mess this up.

Not a huge fan of the autofilling numbers, simple and fast besides that. I wouldn't mind a popup ad after hitting send on the fillup info honestly.

Don't bother with this one, this (cr)app doesn't work on Android Lollipop. Dashboard won't launch. Another example of poorly written software. Don't give up your day job Isom.

Looked perfect but here in England we get fuel in litres so have to convert to gallons before using this app as it doesn't allow to switch the amount to litres. UPDATE -app works perfectly with litres. Great app. Thank you!

This is a simple easy to use app that does what it is designed to do. Don't listen to Christopher Lawrence who is probably rating it based on something he thinks the app should do. If he wants something more complex, he should design his own app...
