## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-01-08*

Doesn't work, keeps saying "request took too long."

### 1/5 — Don't download

*2015-11-19*

I was very happy about the possibility of this app however it didn't work once after many days and attempts. Not worth the free download.

### 1/5 — Request took to long

*2015-04-23*

Any feature in this app always comes up with the message this request took to long

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2015-01-12*

Used to work but now it won't let you save your car's location. It says the "request took too long." Hopefully they're fixing this as the app is worthless in its current state.

### 1/5 — What is the point

*2014-05-25*

Of a street cleaning reminder app that doesn't let you know when your street is being cleaned?

### 2/5 — Used to work great

*2015-01-01*

Now it won't save my car position. I keep getting dismissed for taking too long even tho I'm not. Hopefully this'll get fixed someday. I miss using this app.

### 2/5 — Great idea

*2014-10-15*

This app is a great idea however it is unusable in its current state. It always just says request took too long no matter what you do

### 2/5 — Nice idea

*2014-04-02*

This is a nice idea for an app. However the information is not accurate. I can get snow parking restrictions but the street cleaning info is not showing. My street was cleaned today but my app didn't tell me that.

### 3/5 — Good Idea, Needs Improvement

*2014-05-14*

This app is such a great idea and much needed to keep up with all of the parking regulations in Chicago. The first time I used it, I got a badge icon notification for the first day of street sweeping, but no notification for the second day. And this week my street is being cleaned and no notifications at all, not even when I open the app. So I would not depend on this app as your primary source for a reminder.

### 3/5 — Steer cleaning not working

*2014-04-02*

Street cleaning section is not reflecting correct/current info. It is not showing that my block will be cleaned in 2 days. That is the main reason I wanted to use this app. Please fix.

### 5/5 — Prevents parking tickets

*2016-07-11*

I'm giving this app five stars because it was free and helped me avoid at least one parking ticket before it stopped working.

### 5/5 — How helpful!!!

*2014-03-26*

Writing this review because I'm thrilled to have help. Figuring out the parking situation in Chicago is practically a full time job. I just got the app, set it up, and will try it tomorrow when I'm in Wicker Park, a hot bed of unknown parking, sometimes within the same block!

### 5/5 — Useful and well designed

*2014-01-15*

awesome app, well designed

### 5/5 — Very good parking app!

*2014-01-13*

Very useful information and clean design, love it!
