### 4/5 — Terrible confusing app

*2026-06-16, version 3.8.2*

I’m trying to do the right thing and pay for parking but I can’t figure out this app

### 4/5 — Locations unclear

*2025-06-09, version 3.7*

It’s hard to tell if I’ve selected the right location. If location descriptions included the in between streets included it would be helpful. For example, does Oregon square include NE Pacific Street? I’m guessing.

### 1/5 — Horrible slow

*2025-01-15, version 3.6*

First, since they change the app all my account information was wiped then I couldn't login so I created a new account added everything to it and it still wouldn't find my parking place so I had to pay for it manually bad, bad bad

### 1/5 — App prices are higher than on-site prices

*2024-12-31, version 3.6*

I used the app the buy parking and was charged $36  ($35 + $1 fee). When I drove up the lot was only charging $25 for parking.  The attendant said the app was 3rd party and they always gets complaints from people paying more using the app.  The app doesn’t show anywhere that it’s a 3rd party app.  I use to think this a- was convenient now I see it’s just robbing me.  I don’t think I’ll use it again since it seems like fraud

### 1/5 — Too basic

*2024-09-07, version 3.5.3*

Not enough information when you are trying to find parking spot .

### 1/5 — Horrible app design

*2024-07-18, version 3.5.3*

You can’t even pay without Apple Pay because you can’t put the / into the expectation date

### 1/5 — Keyboard covers Submit button!!!

*2024-07-18, version 3.5.3*

App not fixed. For phone mandatory phone verification of account, the keyboard covers the submit button and won’t go away after entering number.

### 1/5 — The app works fine, but it’s more expensive

*2024-07-16, version 3.5.3*

I downloaded the app to pay for parking in La Jolla, but never had the time to actually complete the transaction. The app said the parking structure I was in cost $35 and was charging a $1 convenience fee. When I went to physically pay on my way out, the cost was only $25. 

Seems like a cheat to me.

### 1/5 — Worst online purchase ever

*2024-06-30, version 3.5.3*

Good luck trying to purchase a reservation online-was just charged four times and have no reservation confirmation. Call the “24/7” help line and you get an answering service.

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2024-06-12, version 3.5.3*

Too expensive

### 1/5 — The Worse Experience Ever!

*2024-05-25, version 3.5*

The morning Agent was awful! What appeared to be funny to her, was not funny to me. I begged for assistance with paying for electric for EV Car, which she found humorous at 4:30am having worked the graveyard shift. She then told me to sit and wait til 8:30am. I only needed a little Customer Service on how to purchase time for ACE PARKING. What a miserable piece of work this agent was. I hope she looses her job. 🙏🏾

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2024-04-08, version 3.5*

It’s more convenient for ACE if you pay by app.  They charge YOU a fee to do this.  Horrible business practices.

### 1/5 — sucks

*2026-07-22, version 3.8.2*

complicated and itrststing

### 1/5 — This app is garbage

*2026-05-15, version 3.8.2*

Don’t bother wasting your time with this app.

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2026-05-11, version 3.8.2*

The UX of this app is truly bad.  It is not intuitive nor clear how to pay for your parking.  I am at a lot that uses this service and it’s not reflected on the map. Nor is there a men item for me to manually enter the site.  So I’m left with using the QR code and not the app. Brutal.

### 1/5 — TOO EXPENSIVE

*2025-10-27, version 3.7*

$31 for 30 minutes!  RIDICULOUS!!!!!

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-10-25, version 3.7*

App for iPhone is useless. Even with location enabled and seeing me on the map it would only allow me to search for parking on another state. Web was not any better. Kept saying my card was declined so went to park whiz instead and had zero issues with the same card and booked the spot in under two minutes.

### 1/5 — Painful

*2025-09-10, version 3.7*

Spent almost an hour trying to figure out how to pay. The on-site machines only take Visa and MasterCard.

The app doesn’t seem to have any kind of easy way to locate where you’re connecting from despite having locator on and super challenging to pay for this and move on

### 1/5 — Bad User Interface

*2025-08-29, version 3.7*

iPhone app is horribly buggy & has even worse UI
Good luck. You’ll need it.

### 1/5 — Not Good!

*2025-03-11, version 3.6*

This app used to be decent but just generates error codes now. Useless on my IPhone 15

### 1/5 — CAnt use app at lot  1223

*2025-03-02, version 3.6*

So why have an app if it can’t be used

### 1/5 — Will make you insane

*2025-01-28, version 3.6*

Trying to sign up, the interface will not allow you to enter the data. The keyboard or number pad will cover the “submit” button and cannot be moved.
It is crazy making

*2025-06-11, version 3.7*

everyone at the parking lot structures.
They always get back to me 
with answers to my questions!

### 5/5 — Ace Parking app is super simple.

*2025-05-28, version 3.7*

I can purchase parking in less than 30 seconds on the Ace Parking app. Originally It took me a few minutes to figure out how to do it but now it’s super simple. A couple of times I have double booked, but with a phone call, the money is refunded to my credit card.

### 5/5 — Makes parking a breeze

*2023-08-23, version 3.3.10*

### 5/5 — Makes Parking a breeze
