App not working, no one to call!

So I have had the Buffalo Rome App for years now. I was an active participant on the App. Now I’m trying to use it and it keeps saying I need an update but it won’t let me update it. It takes me to my wallet and then says I need to update my back card and then it won’t let me do anything from there?!! Annoying. I’ve tried several times in the past week to fix it but it won’t let me!!!

Absolutely ridiculous

The parking app requires a minimum $10 balance and only allows reloading in $10.00 increments, even when the actual parking fee is as low as $2.00.

In addition, extensions are limited to 15 minutes per transaction, with a $0.35 convenience fee applied to $0.50 for each 15-minute extension. As a result, each 15‑minute extension costs $0.85, which is excessive. This appears to be a recent policy change and is quite frustrating.

Previously in 2024, the app allowed 30‑minute extensions with only a $0.10 initial transaction fee and no additional convenience fees for each extension.

$10 Card Minimum

This should be illegal.

App not working

Same issue. Can’t get past the phone or email page. This needs to be fixed.

Useless

I hadn’t used the app in a few months but when I needed it, would not allow me to get past the enter phone number screen. I have funds stored in the account and I can’t even get to them. Reinstalled the app multiple times on my iPhone and it hasn’t changed anything
