Fees & Inability to end parking early
Pros- it’s convenient to use an app instead of a physical meter.
Cons- I hate that there is an additional “fee” to use parking kitty in addition to paying for the parking and all the other fees that are tacked on by the city. Is that they only way the app makes money?
My biggest frustration is not being able to end parking early and getting a partial refund. I’m talking if you pay for 2+ hours, but you only use 30min, you should be able to cancel if it’s within a certain amount left on your meter. For example, If there’s less than 30 left, then I can understand eating that cost and not getting a refund. In this economy, every dollar counts and I hate paying for services I’m not using.

ParkingKitty
Me and my wife are out of town! So we downloaded the app when we were looking around to pay and it was so easy to follow the prompts! Is there anyway you guys can add that if your pay for the two hour parking, you can just pay more once it expires because we freaked out when it just said 2 hours only until it expires. Thanks!

Extortion!
This app charges you like 10% processing fee! Parking cost was 4.40 then they slap you .40 on top of that!
Also you don’t even have time to enter you credit card information before the session expires

Doesn’t recognise valid UK mobile numbers
My husband and I both tried to use the app with our UK mobiles and the system doesn’t recognise our numbers as valid even with the correct country code. Please fix the system to recognise UK mobile numbers, tourists are going to have a nightmare of a time and miss out on seeing the big park and arboretum.

Predatory Monopoly
ParkingKitty keeps asking me to rate it so here it is: I have to use this app for parking at work and school in my city. There’s no alternative. Parking Kitty can track license plates and individual blocks of spaces BUT does not rollover your time if you have to move. It would be a very easy function to write into the app and if people had multiple parking apps to choose from, you bet someone else would offer that. But PK had a mono yin my city, so they collect extra dollars here and there constantly. Also during sporting events were charged a premium even if we are going to our job and not to the event nearby. Parking Kitty is another example of how tech could be improving our lives but in reality is nickel-and-diming us.

Please add Pay and make the app full screen!
This app is a convenient solution, however it feels very outdated with giant black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. Also, I wish Apple Pay was an option. I’d feel a lot better about paying for parking that way than having my credit card info stored in the app.
Good in concept, but extremely dated by technology standards.
This app hasn’t been updated in 2 years. Bring it up to date from a UI/UX standpoint. Make it use the full screen and maybe add so geo specific features such as identifying the zones you parked in. Also maybe add QR codes to the street signs so you can easily enter and pay for the zone you’re in.
Great App
I don’t have to walk down to pay parking meters anymore!! The simplicity of the app is so layman’s that anyone SHOULD be able to understand it!!! Only 4 stars because there is no conversion for the watch… which I feel needs to be something to consider because when I’m at work and my phones not able to bring my phone out my watch is still on my wrist.
