Slow, unreliable, tedious
A parking app needs to be super fast, reliable, and easy. This is none of those. I use it every week or so. It always makes you log in and there’s often a delay doing that. Then there’s the GPS delay for the map and it’s sometimes unclear if you’re picking the right spot. Then when you pay that’s usually slow too, and often it gets stuck and times out. On top of all that if special free parking is in effect, it shows a weird error message instead of saying it’s free. But at least it does a good job of showing the status of your parking session.

It’s slow and tedious
I use it every week or so. There’s always a delay to log in and it’s sometimes unclear if I’m picking the correct spot on the map. Then there’s often another delay at “Contacting your bank” which sometimes gets stuck, forcing me to restart the app. Compare this to Portland’s Parking Kitty app which logs in instantly, doesn’t need GPS or a map, and remembers where you parked the last few times (since people usually park in the same areas). The best/only good thing about Beep Beep is it does a great job of keeping you notified about the status of your parking session.
P. S. Why even use GPS in the first place, if you’re allowed to move to a different spot while you’re not yet expired? Why not just let me pay for an hour of parking anywhere downtown?

Daily frustration
I have to use this app 5-6 days a week. It has never worked smoothly a single time. Paying for parking takes me 3-5 minutes every time because it gets stuck processing at multiple different points. The reason it didn’t get a one star is the widget I’m able to use to keep track of how much time i have left. Bare minimum.

App Bugs
Worked for a while… now constantly crashes and is inoperable.
Worst app ever used
Worst app I have ever used. Doesn’t help find parking kiosk I was standing closest to, declined my card but then still charged me (week later money refunded) and the app charged me $4.35, but when I ended up using the parking Kiosk nearby it only charged me $3.83. Do not use this app!
