have not seen the app down today or yesterday. what I did see is on the app the 30 day good post list that shows how a list of members near you and how well you are doing. I started out at one number posted a few each day but the number never changed either day. all prices were within the .03 of the station app is up to date could be a bug in it. this has only shown up in the past two days

Yes, I also saw that the "number of prices posted in the last 30 days" was not changing for me also. This is an indication that your price posts never made it into the system. That was part of the problem that I was seeing.
Most of the time the app appeared to accept my posts, but they never appeared on the full website during the "outage". The system started malfunctioning sometime before noon EST on Sunday, Jan 8. The system did not appear to actually post any price until about 10:45 pm when the floodgates opened again, and numerous prices started to appear.
Any price posted during the outage merely went into the ether - never making it on to the website, and never being visible to any other user of the apps. Further during the "outage" when I closed the app and opened it again, the prices were no longer shown on my app either. The prices were still the prior price and with the prior time stamp.
At other times I was encountering a lot of error messages - so then the malfunction/outage was obvious.
And as I mentioned earlier perhaps this was a problem just in my area. As there are many GB app servers responding to the apps - some are probably locale specific.

99+% of the time prices do indeed show up on the full website immediately (assuming that they all passed the automated GB price analytic routines). Occasionally the GB servers become "constipated" (my pet term for the phenomena of posts that take a few minutes to post on the website). I have no precise idea why that happens. Perhaps there are internet backbone issues or perhaps the GB servers are just overly busy. I suspect the long delay on Sunday was a major failure of a large number of GB servers.
I did observe that there was a flood of price posts in my area about 10:45 Sunday evening. As with your experience those had probably been posted much earlier in the day during the long service outage/interruption.
After about 5 minutes of not seeing my posts on the full website (about noon) - I had re-posted them on the full website. And it was good to see that the GB system was smart enough to not over post those station prices with a much later time stamp when the outage/interruption was resolved.

I deleted the app today reloaded it restarted my phone. I went out posted 7 prices to see how it would work. my 30 day count only went up by 3 all prices were .04 from the station. all prices showed up on the web site. I did send a email in about this till I get one back I see no need to post any thing near the station.

Yes, the app/server has been down for about 30-45 minutes.
For what it is worth prices can still be posted on the website (for nearby stations). For more distant stations - website price posts can be accomplished by using two unique userids. I have a dummy second userid just for such situations.
Also unfortunately the bad prices posted by the *&^*_% OWNER special id are continuing to post despite the app outage.

I think GB is having major server issues. Yesterday morning, I noticed that a few minutes after posting prices and refreshing the screen, the posts prior to mine reappeared. Referesh a minute or two later and my posts were back, but the timestamp had restarted. Today, the newest prices in my area are the ones I posted 22 hours ago. All the rest are 1-2 days ago. Also, I see that I did not get credit for the posts in the "TOP SPOTTERS"/"Days reported in the last 30".
The problem seems to be ongoing today.

I have had the same problems. Now, some of the prices are appearing that I posted, but I updated a little earlier than the time posted.
My vote went through on the poll question today, and I still use the old Fuel Logbook. Yesterday, it would not work. Now, it accepts my purchase entry.

one thing i do see is i click on the town i posted in prices show 16 minutes ago. but if i click on the station it says 1 hour ago. my guess this might be because of the daylight savings time change
