Sygic acquires Fuelio, premium app now available for free
Fuelio is one mobile navigation Android app that’s been widely used by drivers. It was recently acquired by Sygic and so the latter has made the Fuelio app, a previously premium app, now available free for all Android users. All pro features of Fuelio can now be used including all charts, stats, summaries, widgets, as well as, Google and Dropbox syncing.
This business development brings Fuelio to more drivers who want to keep logs of gas usage. The app also provides information on how much one is getting out of each gallon. And if you’re driving to a place unknown, you can identify places where you can gas up with the help of Google Maps and GPS.
From premium to free, it seems generous of Sygic to offer all PRO features. The app developer Adrian Kajda sold Fuelio to the company and is now working for Sygic. It’s the group behind the offline GPS navigation app named Sygic GPS Navigation. The company mainly focuses on Sygic Truck Navigation and Family locator, Sygic Car Navigation, Speed cameras, and be-on-road. The developer will still be the product leader and main dev of the app and he is now officially part of Sygic.
Some of the pro features of the Fuelio app that are now available for everyone include Auto-sync with Dropbox, Auto-sync with Google Drive, Costs module, Cost stats, Shortcuts, and Cost charts showing total monthly costs, fuel vs other costs, and categories. The standard features are still available like Mileage log, Useful statistics, Multiple vehicles, Import/Export database to SD, and Charts showing Monthly costs, Fill-up costs, Fuel price, and Fuel consumption.

New Humble Bundle is the NEOGEO game splurge you were waiting for
The classic NEOGEO games of your youth are now back to haunt you on mobile, and that’s because Humble Bundle is serving them up on their latest Humble Mobile Bundle. But a heads-up though – although the Humble Bundle crew is still working on a “pay what you want” model, this bundle has the lower limit set on USD$1.00. But what’s a dollar here and there to you, right?
At the price of USD$1.00 or more, you get these NEOGEO classics from SNK Playmore — Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Blazing Star, The King of Fighters ’97, Metal Slug 2, and Metal Slug X, all available for Android. We know you remember these games, and how ridiculously difficult it was to beat them. Make sure you remember that it is a smartphone you’re gaming with now, and not a controller you can throw at anything.
Pay more than the average, which is at USD$4.67 at this point, and you get the goodies – Fatal Fury Special, Samurai Showdown II, Metal Slug 3, plus the promise of a few more games to come. And you can be sure that with these guys, there will be more games coming.
Some enterprising gamer made a comment online that if you paid for all these games through normal channels, it would amount to around USD$23.00. So in fact you are saving some money here. But if you like the Humble Bundle guys so much, you can donate USD$30.00 and get all the games plus a premium Metal Slug t-shirt.
