Leave a Review Halifax Parking Ban
Great app! Consider subscribing!
This app is so useful and I just realized that it is not run by the city but an independent developer. While the free version is everything you need. 2.99 per year for the pro version is an easy way to support this valuable app and say thanks.Bluejay1992

Thank you for your support! It’s really appreciated. Please let me know if ever have any ideas or suggestions. You can use the feedback option in the app to get in contact anytime!Super Useful
You can just turn on mobile push notifications instead of having to keep an eye on your email for whether the parking ban will be in effect. Super useful app to avoid parking tickets in Halifax winters!Amber Jelfs
Perfect winter parking app for those on the streets
Thank you for this amazing app, I never get parking tickets thanks to you, worth more than the $2/year subscription to have this knowledge delivered to my electronic brain.Benripper73
Not updating parking ban in timely manner
I can see on the website the parking ban is being enforced however the app hasn’t updated in 3 days.UnderAds

Hi there. The city had changed the format of their data so we weren’t able to parse the information correctly to update our app. This is not something that we have control over, but we updated our backend to mitigate this problem. Updates should be instant from now on.Be warned
Unreliable, has failed me several times. Be warned of the disclaimer advising that the app is not the official parking ban update. Just received a parking ban ticket outside of seasonal times because the app was unable to pick up/ update properly. Use the web, not this app.
- Kindly to the developer’s response below, possibly include this information on the app? Would help, as I’m not entirely sure how many folks are familiar with section 139 of the N.S. Motor Vehicle Act.Show lessNickola0916

Hello, thank you for your review. The app is up-to-date. There is no parking ban. The parking ban is only active between December 15 to March 31. Today is April 9. Quoting HRM's policy: "Regardless of the status of an overnight winter parking ban, or whether you have received a notification, vehicles can be towed any time during the day or night, any day of the year, if they are interfering with snow-clearing operations, as per Section 139 of the Nova Scotia Motor Vehicle Act." With that said, the data on the app is exactly the same as the data on the website. We work very hard to ensure that this is the case, and it has never been incorrect. In response to the reviewer's edit: Gladly. We will add that to the next update!Great app
Easier to receive a notification on my phone instead of waiting for the radio or afternoon news to supply the answer.
If you live or work in HRM this is an app all drivers need.Jason Coates
