  • Buggiest app I’ve ever seen

    Doesn’t let you print permits after scheduling them, says “visitor parking permit not available” via the app, but lets you schedule via the web interface, is confusing and nonstandard, and provides no way to upload screenshots to request help in the app.

    This app is so terrible that you have to assume some type of nepotism or cronyism was involved in awarding the development contract. Still awful years later. What a waste of residents’ time.
  • Buggy

    When I open the app on my iPad I only get the landing page. I never get to a login page.
  • Useless

    The app is so poorly designed from a use experience perspective. Here are some examples:

    1) Just trying to login is impossible (I always have to create a new password every time I want to login, since I always get an error message saying my username/password is invalid). Upon creating my new password, I can login that one time. But the stupid app logs you out automatically each time, forcing you to renter your username and password, which it then never recognizes. And I have to start the whole process of password recovery again and again…

    2) it offers fingerprint recognition but not face recognition (which would really help with the whole app not recognizing your password issue). They obviously do not keep track with advances in technology!

    3) the app is THE OPPOSITE OF INTUITIVE. I consider myself pretty technologically saavy, yet it took me a while to understand how it works. I feel bad for older folks or just people who do not navigate technology as well.

    Conclusion: this is a necessary evil DC residents will have to put up with until someone in the DC government bothers to take responsibility for spending tens of thousands of our tax payer dollars for garbage, and to make all our lives more difficult!
  • Five minutes and pass for out of town guest

    Awesome and just hit print, love it.
  • Horrible design

    App is very poorly designed. Almost impossible to do a simple task like get a permit for an out of town visitor. Extremely confusing. You’ll go in circles.
  • Worked for me 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

    I already had my account set up. I downloaded the app to print a permit and it worked fine. 👍🏿👍🏿
  • Worthless

    This app doesn’t really work. It should be simple but how do you print a permit for a friend visiting from out of town? You’ll go in circles and give up.
  • Doesn’t work

    It won’t let me log in (confirmed credentials) AND so t let me reset to start over.

    Worthless.
  • Useless app- literally impossible to log in

    Won’t let me create an account because email is already in use. When I try to reset password, it says it can’t find an account with my email????
  • App doesnt work

    I can log into the portal in safari and i cant log into the app. Shaking my head at this, par for the course with DC trying to use technology to update a system that worked fine for me and my visitors.
