Fake reviews?
I think most of these positive 5-star reviews are fake. There is no way this app gets 5 stars. First of all, this is the only parking app that requires you to preload $20. Then, it requires you to reload if your balance gets down to $10. So you can never use the full amount you paid. With every other parking app I have used in the Chicago area and in other cities, you can just pay for your one time parking event without being forced to preload more cash than you’ll use. AND in any account experience that lets you reload, they typically let you set the parameters for when you want to preload and how much. I suppose technically they let you do that, but you can only change the amounts to be higher than their presets, not lower. This is a stand-out in the worst way. Feels like a scam. They should have an option for “visitors” to the city who just want to pay as they go. You can still do that by finding the kiosk on the sidewalk instead of using the app, which is what I ended up doing because this app was shady as ****. Also, in reading some other reviews, it seems like people are getting parking tickets with not negligible frequency even when they do pay!! Scam!
