What a gift parking kitty is
Download the app, enter your license plate, the zone number you enter is listed on your parking meter, then you click pay and you are all set (stores your cc info). AMAZING. All those rainy and cold days of running back and forth from your car to the meter and back to your car. And also the new meters have you enter your license plate number which slows things down quite a bit. This app is great. To the few that are complaining the app isn't loud enough at reminding them about their meter - it's called "Alarm" and just set your own timer on your phone for yourself.
Remember the best part: pay from your phone and pay as you would like. No more overpaying meters and panicking that you ran out.

kitty needs to be more annoying
What I mean is I've run out of time (two out of the five times I used it) without knowing, and am really lucky I didn't get a ticket during the lapses. The kitty only meows once, three minutes before your time is up. It's not very loud (even with my volume all the way up) and it's only one quick meow. I used Park Mobile in the Bay Area and it was way better. More notification options.
It would be great if you could choose the timing and duration of the alerts. It's way too easy to miss at this point. I have to set a separate alarm on my phone. Otherwise I will eventually get a ticket.

Makes parking downtown much more convenient
Love this app. Yes you pay a convenience fee but I love how you can add time if necessary without returning to your car. It's easy to use once you set up your car information and credit card. Then you just take care of it while you walk to wherever you need to be. Two thumbs up.
Easy and Meowy!
Not annoying, simple to use.
Issues with the card scanning thing, but super quick just to type in stuff to pay for parking, easy to save card info, parking zone info, and your car info. Highly recommend, much much much less frustrating and handy than the meter.

Just what I imagined a parking app should be
This parking app is exactly what I've been wishing for, for several years. In the age of the smartphone, it only makes perfect sense to be able to pay and extend parking through an app.
Now I don't need to worry about running out of time and getting a ticket, and can extend remotely if I change my mind. Once you've entered your car license plate and credit card info, it's a breeze to pay. It's also convenient to have an in built countdown timer to know how much time is left.

Finally !!
After accumulating more than my fair share of parking tickets I couldn't be more thankful for this app. I've been saying for years that those window tickets are a huge waste of paper and this new mobile option is a win win for everyone !
Small improvement would be having a map to tell you what zone your car is in, assuming you know where you parked your car.

So convenient
Love this app. When I'm in a hurry I use this to pay as I'm walking to my destination... just be careful not to forget! I forgot the other day and 30 minutes into my meeting remembered I never paid so I did right then, but apparently I was too late. When I came out to my car there was ticket (4 minutes after I walked away. The worst!!)
I love how it reminds me when my parking is up and I can extend if needed. The $0.10 convenience charge is annoying (out of principle) but not a huge deal! Overall great app'

Still has some kinks
I used the app four times today and never moved my car. My co-worker used it on the same street and got a ticket.
I am wondering how long it takes to update the meter reader database, because my co-worker got a ticket two minutes after she paid through Parking Kitty.
I'm thinking of printing out the logo and putting it on my dashboard. Might help.
