I can’t find a setting to turn it off. ### 2/5 — To many steps *2026-08-24, version 3.17.2* Need to have lot number posted in more areas. There are to many steps needed to complete transaction ### 2/5 — Can double dip *2026-08-16, version 3.17.2* The app doesn’t check if the parking has already been paid for if you try to pay from another account for the same date, license plate, and zone which will lead to doubling of charges for that vehicle. Strange that the developer hasn’t implemented a simple check like that. ### 1/5 — Absolutely awful payment flow *2026-08-15, version 3.17.2* I almost never review anything but this app deserves special attention in how absolutely awful the entire user experience is for signing up and paying for parking. I’ve never worked so hard to try to spend $1 in my life. Do better, Flowbird. ### 3/5 — Forever lock screen notification *2026-08-14, version 3.17.2* Even 3-4 hours after parking expired, and having tapped back into the app, the app notification still stays on the lock screen. Same after turning off notifications ### 1/5 — Awful Payment Processing *2026-08-13, version 3.17.2* This app that the city of Minneapolis uses is absolutely awful! Their customer service told me that their new payment processor "doesn't take ApplePay or any MC." It's 2026 Flowbird--get with the program please. ### 2/5 — Payment sucks *2026-08-12, version 3.17.2* I have to remove my card and then re enter the info to get it to work. Support says it’s on my end but my card works everywhere else. What a hassle ### 1/5 — Gloucester, MA *2026-08-08, version 3.17.2* Without doubt, the worst parking app I’ve used anywhere. After multiple tries I just moved my car a few blocks and parked for free. Gloucester- use another system. ### 4/5 — Horrible *2026-08-07, version 3.17.2* Impossible to sign up ### 1/5 — Does not work in France *2026-08-06, version 3.17.2* Notwithstanding that the French ticket machine QR code indicated this app - it does not work in France. A waste of time signing up! ### 1/5 — Can not select zone accurately by location and cancel transaction *2026-08-05, version 3.17.2* This app does not have ability to select parking zone based on GPS location. I selected location incorrectly because of this. Then, I couldn’t cancel the transaction in the app after paying at a parking toll booth. ### 1/5 — Worst parking app *2026-08-04, version 3.17.2* This thing doesn’t work 3/4 of the time. Doesn’t matter what payment. Should be a crime for a city to use this. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-04, version 3.17.2* Avoid ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-08-03, version 3.17.2* This app literally works about 10% of the time I attempt to use it. I end up having to use kiosks in the city of Flagstaff nearly every time ### 1/5 — Missing zones! *2026-08-03, version 3.17.2* How am I supposed to park without getting a ticket if the numbered zone and spot posted on the space doesn’t exist in the app. ### 1/5 — Forced to add a minimum amount to e wallet *2026-08-01, version 3.17.2* Forced to pay a minimum amount even if you don’t need to pay that much for parking avoid using this app if you can ### 1/5 — Lame *2026-07-30, version 3.17.2* They send notification that your payment information is about to expire but give you no way to update it unless you are parking. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-07-29, version 3.17.2* This app works when it wants to. For two days straight it’s been glitching. It’s supposed to be convenient but that hasn’t been my experience. It worked well once. ### 3/5 — Good idea in theory *2026-07-25, version 3.17* This app gets soooo glitchy - I routinely have to uninstall and reinstall it to connect to payment or not error out - even got parking ticket because of this ### 1/5 — Très mauvaise app *2026-07-24, version 3.17* Très mauvais app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad company *2026-08-31, version 3.17.2* Looks like fraud. Charged me 3x for a parking I never used. No customer service. ### 1/5 — Hard to figure out *2026-08-30, version 3.17.2* Only the attendant can do it ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2026-08-29, version 3.17.2* So finicky and troublesome for the simplest function. Trash. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-08-28, version 3.17.2* Very confusing ### 1/5 — Awful experience *2026-08-26, version 3.17.2* The app failed when I tried to extend parking and then eventually blocked my account for too many unsuccessful payment attempts. This app is supposed to do something really simple and can’t even do it, this app is horrible. ### 1/5 — Never seems to work *2026-08-19, version 3.17.2* This is the parking app in my town. It’s very glitchy. If it actually opens up when I need to park it switches the zone on me when I add the parking. I find it’s quicker and easier to just use my credit card to pay for parking. ### 1/5 — Uselesd *2026-08-18, version 3.17.2* App is unable to connect to banking so payment doesn’t happen and as a result, the app is basically useless. No point in wasting your time when you can just pull out your credit card and pay right at the meter. If it actually worked, it’s a great idea, but it doesn’t. Developers need to figure out how to use the banking link and make it work properly. ### 1/5 — Nightmare *2026-08-18, version 3.17.2* “Easy to use” No way!i am stuck on a bright sunny day in Gloucester, MA trying to understand the Apps tormented language and the distressed parking kiosks with unknown zones and unknown “pins” of local geography. No recommended foe stable mental health. ### 1/5 — Dumb *2026-08-17, version 3.17.2* Paid 3 times already and it charges my card but says that payment could not go through on the app but it still charges me ### 1/5 — Apple Pay does not work *2026-08-16, version 3.17.2* Apple Pay does not work. Very inconvenient when you are in a rush ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No longer works *2026-07-21, version 3.17* They removed Baltimore. So I haven’t been able to use the app. I had to download pay mobile. That sucked ### 5/5 — Greatest *2026-06-20, version 3.16.4* The greatest ### 5/5 — MB *2026-06-04, version 3.16.4* Pretty good app. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-04-23, version 3.16.3* Very user-friendly ### 5/5 — Payment *2026-04-20, version 3.16.3* Not being able to add or edit payment (card) separately is dumb. To only allow adding or editing of card payment while actually parking is silly. I should be able to add that info anytime I am logged in. The reason I use the app is to save time when parking and not have to put payment info in. Other than that the app generally works well, only limits are cellular coverage. ### 5/5 — Omar *2026-04-17, version 3.16.3* Very good app, secure and safe. Save time and headache ### 5/5 — Flowpark *2026-03-25, version 3.16.3* Excellent system. So easy to use the app. Saves having to look for and use a pay point. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-02-14, version 3.16.3* Flowbird is so helpful ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-02-06, version 3.16.2* Driving ### 5/5 — Bravo *2026-02-03, version 3.16.2* Excellent outil facile et très pratique --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
