I had a couple of my friends install it on their iPhone and the same thing happens. Anyone else having the same problem?

My Gas Buddy stopped working on my iPhone last week. It will open but will not respond, then closes automatically 10 seconds later. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and the same thing happens.

Didn't do anything different than I did the first time. Thanks for the suggestions, nice to be back.

If you've uninstalled and reinstalled, that doesn't leave much else to try. That said, I'd probably take a bit of an aggressive approach at this point (if for no other reason than I'd be kinda ticked off about now). Log out of GB, use task manager to kill it, uninstall GB, reboot the phone, soft reset the iPhone, then reinstall GB and log back in. Instructions for rebooting and soft resetting the phone can be found at this link - the process is the same for all iPhones, so ignore that this is a Verizon page, it was just the first one I found.

It does the same thing whether accessing via my home or work wi-fi or 3G. I'm not having any problems with any other app.

Telling him that you had (or did not have) a problem with your Droid is like a member asking if anyone's had problem with Sheetz brand premium fuel in their Corvette and members responding that they drive gasoline Ford F-150. It's nice to know, but it doesn't answer the member's question. That said, I have an iPhone 4S using the current operating system, IOS 6.0.1, have posted gas prices using the app, and have accessed the full website from my phone's browser with no problems. You may want to indicate additional information in order for the moderator's to review the problem, such as (as maxstar suggested) how you're accessing the program, your carrier, the operating system you're using, and if you've experienced any problems with other programs. You may want to let them moderators know if you've previously experienced problems posting gas prices or accessing other Gas Buddy functions prior to this problem. Just a suggestion; that's all.
