Consumers won’t need to drive around searching for the lowest gas price next time they’re low on gas. They can use the new gas station search feature, which allows consumers to search for gas stations based on distance, price, grade, brand and even service. The map integration makes it simple to fill up for less with color-coded pricing and a savings calculator. Consumers will also find expanded Foursquare tips for gas stations and movie theaters making it easier to pick which holiday blockbuster to go see. The Yellow Pages by Superpages® app, or the “Spin it, Say it, Search it” app, lets consumers search using the Superpages spinner with a flick of their finger. The spinner is on the home page of the app and lets consumers spin to more than 175 popular Yellow Pages categories. The Yellow Pages by Superpages applications are available on the iPad, iPhone® or iPod® Touch, and Android phone and tablet platforms, and the Superpages mobile website at m.superpages.com is available to use on nearly all mobile phones. The Superpages app will also be available soon on the Kindle Fire. Other super features:

  • Search hands-free by voice. No more typing when on the go, consumers can now say what they’re looking for and search results appear, ordered by distance to the current location.
  • When typing is needed, the single field search with auto-complete will guess what consumers are looking for and help complete the entry faster.
  • Find movies fast. Search by movie or theater and see show times, read reviews, or watch trailers.
