Mawenly: Gas at Your Fingertips

Are you tired of searching for gas stations that actually have fuel? Are you sick of the long lines that seem to have no end when you do finally find one? Well, look out smartphone users: there is relief in the form of a brand new app, Mawenly. The brainchild of founder Ahmed Abd El Moniem , an iOS developer, and Islam Zawawi, an art director, the sorely needed app lets you find out which gas stations are well-stocked before you even step foot in your car.  

Ahmed Abd El Moneim came up with the idea about eight months ago, but three months ago they started working on the final version after Egypt was hit with another massive wave of gas shortages. The app is user friendly and provides two options from home page. Either Mawenly will help you find the closest gas station to your location via GPS, or you can browse through a list of all the stations in the country. Once you find the station you are looking for, you are then able to see the availability of gas octanes (80, 90, 92, 95, Solar, etc.), whether they’re currently refuelling their pumps and even how crowded the station is, all based on user generated information.
