You will be consistently frustrated. *2023-07-27, version 1.1.7* It’s one thing if your app doesn’t work. It’s another thing if your app not working causes a 11 car backup and leaves those people waiting while the app restarts and freezes. People honking, beeping, and cursing as the app causes people to be late to appointments, work, etc. ### 1/5 — Lazy Developer & Company *2023-06-06, version 1.1.7* Flash just doesn’t update their app often enough. Phones and operating systems change and update, which means your app needs to update. As of this review it has been 8 months since the app was last updated. We have an extremely expensive FlashParking gate system, this app is used by employees and is constantly crashing for many of our 300+ users. Talking to our account rep has fallen on deaf ears as well. Do better. ### 1/5 — Crashes three or 4 times every time I try to use it *2023-05-18* If any businesses is thinking of implementing this program as part of their parking system, the should look for another companies product. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2023-05-02, version 1.1.7* App no longer works with iOS 16.4.1 It doesn’t open the gate It doesn’t let you provide feedback to the developers. ### 1/5 — Major Issues *2023-02-13, version 1.1.7* This app has some really big flaws that cause frequent frustration. Mainly, if you don’t wait in front of the kiosk upon exiting the garage for a certain amount of time, it won’t let you back in because it thinks your car is still in the garage. I’ve had this happen a number of times. Every time it does, I call the help number, and I’ve gotten a response a whopping one time. So if you aren’t able to get back in the garage and need help, you might as well just give up. ### 1/5 — This App Needs Overhauled *2023-01-11, version 1.1.7* Entering a leaving a garage should not cause the level of frustration this app causes me everyday. I was able to sign up, etc. without issue but forget using the Bluetooth to open the garage gate. The only think that seems to work is the barcode which is pretty inconvenient. Will the app be fixed/upgraded anytime soon??? ### 1/5 — Can’t Even Validate *2023-01-06, version 1.1.7* Won’t let me validate my phone but ironically I receive a text saying it’s been validated. ### 1/5 — CarPlay???? *2022-12-13, version 1.1.7* An app for getting into a garage, and it can’t appear on you CarPlay dash? Seriously? ### 1/5 — App is not reliable *2022-12-12, version 1.1.7* The app keeps closing down after I select open gate. It usually takes 2-3 times to work every time I try to park or exit. ### 1/5 — Too Many bugs *2022-11-29, version 1.1.7* Cannot select a vehicle and cannot select state, so you cannot even start to use the app. Trash app. Such a basic thing. ### 1/5 — This app does not work *2022-10-17, version 1.1.7* This app is unresponsive when clicking the button on ‘select make’ , thus preventing me from even setting up. I can’t even get to the stage to open the garage door. ### 1/5 — Flash App *2022-10-14, version 1.1.7* This app is terrible it is used in my parking garage at the airport, consistently has issues opening the gate and has to be deleted and re downloaded. ### 1/5 — App literally doesn’t work *2022-08-13, version 1.1.6* This app literally doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Can’t delete vehicles *2022-04-27, version 1.1.6* The app doesn’t work when you sell a vehicle and want to delete it, it’s impossible. They will blame the host garage,- it’s not them, it’s the app ### 1/5 — The worst parking app ever *2022-03-28, version 1.1.6* If you are in the rush to open the gate, don’t use it. If you are ready to sit in the car for ten minutes and wait for it to rework, you can consider it. It is for sure, THE WORST PARKING APP EVER ### 1/5 — Not working on IOS 15 *2021-10-01, version 1.0.1* Flash drive does not work on an iPhone that has been updated to IOS 15. An update is very much needed. Also because it is slow and unreliable ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Dumb Phone / Flip Phone Support *2026-01-04, version 1.1.8* I switched recently to using a phone that lacks applications and browsers on it. One of the concerns has been using the parking app for my work’s garage. The only alternative is to print the QR code, which is ok for parking in that one garage. I have run into other parking garage and lots operated by Flash parking. These parking lots lack physical parking meters, only operating QR code based payment. Avoiding Flash parking designated lots is my only option in order to legally park in that area. ### 1/5 — Non-Functional *2025-12-13, version 1.1.8* This app is pretty glitchy and has made parking at work a lot more complicated. The two recently installed gates don’t communicate at work and are now forcing parkers to leave from same gate despite it being against the desired traffic flow. ### 1/5 — Always something *2025-08-28, version 1.1.8* This app is nothing but frustration, my parking lot used this app to access to the garage, I changed my phone and i have to download the app again buy it doesn’t work because it keeps asking me to validate my phone but when i try to do it it keeps giving me an error message ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2024-10-14, version 1.1.7* Some days it works and some it doesn’t. Don’t start with this vendor if you have alternatives. ### 1/5 — Can’t even register the phone *2024-08-01, version 1.1.7* It has some numbers entered already, not by me, multiple attempt to reload, the same result, no options to get around that: useless app, period ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-07-07, version 1.1.7* Crashes most of the time. Usually takes a few tries and have to launch the app each time before it works. Unfortunately no other way to use our office parking ### 1/5 — Inconvenience for new workers! *2024-02-16, version 1.1.7* The app will not let me “validate my phone” even though I get a text saying “your phone is registered”. There’s now way to get past this screen so basically I can’t use the app at all and there’s no one to “contact” about it. ### 1/5 — Crashes and can’t update car info *2023-12-30* This app barely functions. In desperate need for updates to fix critical issues ### 1/5 — terrible app *2023-11-13, version 1.1.7* literally doesn’t work and the creators won’t do anything to fix it. i haven’t been able to use it in my parking garage for over 2 months. ### 1/5 — Crashes repeatedly when using Bluetooth *2023-10-06, version 1.1.7* Useless 90% of the time, crashing repeatedly when waiting to open the gate. Often have to resort to other means of opening the gate, while cars behind me line up. Anyone who is purchasing this system for their company (or renewing a contract) should take note of these reviews. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Efficient *2023-01-09, version 1.1.7* Good app for contract parking. ### 5/5 — Thankyou for fixing the app! *2021-10-04, version 1.1.6* I use this app for parking at my job and it had stopped working correctly after the iOS 15 update.They have fixed it now and it’s works wonderful just as before. ### 5/5 — Systems Specialist *2020-12-30, version 1.0.1* Great App! Never once had a problem! ### 5/5 — App works great *2020-01-09, version 1.0.1* Love this app. Works great for me. ### 4/5 — IOS 15 is working now *2021-12-08, version 1.1.6* I just upgraded my phone and it seems fine. They should mention the last update addressed the problem. ### 4/5 — Apple watch app?? *2019-10-08, version 1.0.1* Wearables are the future. Would love a watch app ### 3/5 — Stopped working when updated to iOS 15 *2021-09-22, version 1.0.1* Fair warning, app stopped working with iOS 15 update. Get orange screen but not able to do nothing. Tried to force stop it but still does not work. Deleted and reinstalled app but not able to log in to it. I use this everyday to enter parking at work. It’s very convenient . Hopeful it’s fixed soon. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work well with IOS 15 update *2021-09-21, version 1.0.1* Hello the app needs an update, it’s not working with the new iOS 15 update continues to crash. ### 3/5 — Definitely in need of an update,especially after two years *2021-09-21, version 1.0.1* As time and technology progresses and we get more updates on our phones, flash need to try and keep up for everyone else’s convenience. I had trouble getting into my parking facility for work and now I’m late. So if we could have an update of some sort that would be greatly appreciated ### 3/5 — Not working with iOS 15 *2021-09-21, version 1.0.1* The app needs an update to function properly with the new iOS 15 update --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
