Author	Topic: Mobile App Thinks Price of Diesel is Too High!	Post a Reply Back to Topics

I love the mobile app, but lately whenever I try to post a list of prices, no matter the diesel price I enter, it says, "3.81 (or whatever number I input) seems high! Are you sure this is the correct price?" Then you have to go through an extra step to confirm. This must be a glitch because prices were higher before and it didn't do this. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I'm happy to keep it. But fixing what it's comparing against would still be a worthwhile improvement, of course.

So, if 3.81 would be a suspiciously high price for regular, then it flags it even though it might be within range for diesel.
