The Launch of Fuel Finder application for iPhone and iPad
The Mobile Computing Research Center of European University Cyprus has launched a cheap fuel finder guide application for iPhone and iPad entitled ‘Fuel Finder CY’.
The application helps the user:
- Find the cheapest petrol stations in Cyprus within varying radius of the user’s position
- Be informed of the fluctuations of fuel prices
- Have access to fuel prices by district, region or fuel company
Fuel prices for each petrol station are updated on a daily basis. This means that the user with just a tap can download the information from the Internet to his/her device, where they it is stored permanently. Consequently the user doesn’t need a continuous Internet connection to be able to use the application effectively.
The Research Center’s application is available for free in both Greek and English and is a prime example of cooperation between the academic and the public sector as it was created in close cooperation with the Republic’s Ministry of Energy, Trade, Industry and Tourism and the Department of Information Technology Services.
The Mobile Computing Research Center is committed to the continuous evolution of the application and the integration of technologies arising from research work conducted at the Center such as the possibility of proposing cheap gas stations along the user’s usual routes.
