User Reviews

Essence&CO is seen as useful for travelers and for those who don't speak the local language, supported by a sizable, up-to-date station database and positive long-term user sentiment. However, recurring issues undermine reliability: the app often won't open or connect, and information (prices and station status) is frequently outdated or inaccurate. Users also report bugs, heavy ads, and map problems, along with concerns over data permissions. Some suggest enhancements like reporting out-of-stock stations and a map view. Overall, utility is evident but data reliability and stability are major concerns.

Pros

Useful during travel, especially for users who don't speak the local language.
Large and up-to-date database of fuel stations.
Generally positive sentiment from long-time users; the app is usable for many people.

Cons

App often fails to open or connect.
Data inaccuracies/outdated fuel prices and station statuses.
Buggy performance with slow loading and heavy ads; map features don’t function well.
Privacy concerns due to unnecessary data permission requests.

Déçu de la mise à jour avec la perte de simplicité pour rechercher une station sur une adresse. Idem, plus d'option pour la maj des prix d'une station. C'est 'beau' mais limité à 3 stations affichée. Migration sur l'appli SLMC pour l'instant. Autrement j'avais été très satisfait de Essence@Co jusqu'à ce jour. Bon courage aux dev et à un potentiellement revirement.

It's a pity that the recent update has taken away the ability to view fuel costs in both Euros and its Sterling equivalent. I'll probably not use this app as much as I used to now. I plan frequent visits to France paying particular interest to fuel prices and the ability to see costs in Sterling was very helpful.
