### 3/5 — Payment Options

*2025-09-01, version 25.22.0*

Sure would be nice to remove old payment options.  I have a card that was lost and deactivated. It’s my default card on the app and can’t get rid of it.

### 3/5 — Loss of features

*2025-08-30, version 25.22.0*

This app got rid of saved nicknames for cars. I have many plates of friends and visitors saved so this creates a lot of confusion. Nicknames are still in the settings but don’t save so it’s become useless. Very unfortunate development.

### 2/5 — Does not do much or well

*2025-08-25, version 25.22.0*

It doesn’t remember cards, doesn’t allow make a parking spot favorite (“Uh oh deprecated endpoint”, whatever it means), and forgets the login.

### 2/5 — Too many pop ups

*2025-08-16, version 25.22.0*

App forces me to resolve too many unnecessary pop ups to pay for parking.

### 2/5 — Unable to see all Zones

*2025-06-28, version 25.22.0*

Recently the app only shows a handful of zones, no matter how I zoom in or out, also with update. Many streets are not available. This is a big problem if you didn’t check the zone number on the street before leaving your car! 

Please address, technical issue!

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-04-16, version 24.14.0*

The app sometimes fails to transact. Data breach in 2021 is also concerning. I’d recommend switching to PayByPhone.

### 1/5 — No ability to reserve spaces in the future

*2025-03-12, version 24.14.0*

The regular ParkMobile app allows you to reserve parking spots in the future, so you can reserve parking for an event you know you’ll be attending. This app does not allow that to my knowledge. So you just have to wait until you’re there and hope for the best I guess? 

You also cannot search by a location you type in. If you want to view parking for an area you are not physically at, you have to find the area by scrolling around on the map. Which is quite ridiculous for any modern app.

### 1/5 — Payment issues

*2025-01-30, version 24.14.0*

The app will glitch once a month and not accept any card/payment. I received a ticket because the app failed to accept any of my debit or credit cards

### 2/5 — Meh

*2024-10-08, version 24.14.0*

When it works, it works well. However it keeps dumping my information from the system. So yeah I’ll just take my chances with not paying. Good job app devs!

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2024-07-15, version 24.14.0*

I was disappointed that I couldn't use apple pay to pay, despite it being listed as an option for payment. I was also disappointed that they are charging almost $1 more for 20 minutes than the on street meters are. I get that there's a price for convenience, but this seemed excessive.

The app otherwise works for what it's supposed to do.

### 1/5 — Broken. Requires email link to sign in which fails

*2024-07-05, version 24.14.0*

I can’t login to app because the email link never works. I need to use an alternative app. Please fix your broken awful login system.

### 1/5 — Was pretty convenient…was

*2024-06-14, version 24.14.0*

What’s going on w this app? signs me out every time a session ends, deletes payment methods, etc. added bonus being that this is THE app you have to use to pay for metered parking in Pittsburgh. used to be pretty good and convenient. it’s gone to trash

### 2/5 — Signs users out, forgets active sessions

*2024-04-27*

App signs me out too frequently. I thought using Google would be convenient, but since Google requires 2FA, I need 3 apps to sign in. App forgets active sessions, so I have paid twice to park the same car in same spot at the same time. App does not allow user to change license plate if wrong car is selected. App often does not adjust user location, making it difficult to find correct meter location. I have spent a lot more money on parking because of design flaws.

### 1/5 — Horrible app!!!

*2024-04-26, version 24.14.0*

No matter what I do I can’t add a new card to the app. Parking is impossible if I can’t pay!!!

### 1/5 — This app suUCKS

*2024-02-13, version 24.5.1*

Just doesn’t work. Computers will make life easier they said

### 1/5 — Likes to work when it wants to

*2023-11-02, version 23.11.0*

This app just loves locking you out of your account right when you need it to park. Thank you for making me late today!

### 1/5 — Please fix!

*2023-09-18, version 23.11.0*

This app used to work great, but now something is broken and it says that none of the payment methods are accepted. Please fix it, and I’ll be happy to change my star review. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2023-09-14, version 23.11.0*

I can't even register an account. Every time I enter my email and passphrase on the account registration screen, I get the error message "There was an error getting a response from the server." The email is a standard word.word@gmail, and the passphrase is 19 characters, well within the specified character-count requirement (8-25 characters). So it's not me. 

There is absolutely no way to contact anyone for help, so I am stuck. Thanks for nothing, app developers. Since you offer no support, the least you could do is provide a meaningful error message.

This app is a cool idea in theory but in practice not so much. DO BETTER!!!

### 1/5 — Awful authentication

*2023-07-28, version 23.11.0*

Keeps logging me out ( this has been a recent update ) and doesn’t play well with password managers

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-06-29, version 23.11.0*

Went to park today 7/29/23 app lost all my info 
Does not work 
Tried re adding my cars does not work 
Lost my cc info my cars info which makes this app useless 
What happened?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Update is broken

*2026-08-14, version 25.22.0*

I’m told I have to update the app to use it but it won’t unless I have “iOS 17 or later” but my phone says I’m up to date with 16-something and won’t give me 17.  Poor development timing!!

### 1/5 — Can’t change payment methods

*2026-07-21, version 26.28.0*

This app used to be great. I’m not sure what happened, but I can’t remove an expired credit card, it won’t let me update the credit card with the new expiration date and it won’t let me add a new credit card. It only wants me to add something to a Wallet, which amounts to giving them a lot more of my money while I work off the balance. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Bad app, bad security, bad company

*2026-04-02, version 26.12.0*

Very poor security on the app. My phone was locked in my pocket during a parking session. When I took my phone out a little later, I noticed there was a recent parking extension approved for +4 hours! I had plenty of time left on my meter and absolutely did not need an extension. When I contacted their support, they claimed they can’t do anything about it since they’re just a “pass through”for my city’s parking authority. I asked for at least a credit on my account to use for a future parking session, but their customer service just kept repeating how they can’t do anything and I should contact my city. They refused to take responsibility for the fact that their app is at fault. Getting in touch with any city’s parking authority is a huge pain. So they’re banking on customers just letting this go so they can keep the fees they’ve collected. What a scam.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2026-03-24, version 26.12.0*

Used this multiple times. Reliability is minimal and just got a ticket when I used it and now the records are not there. I would recommend just pay at the meter.

### 1/5 — Needs improvements

*2026-02-28, version 25.22.0*

App does not let me cancel a parking timer, and does not let you start a second timer in the same parking zone. What do I do when I accidentally set the parking meter for the wrong car, can’t cancel it, and then get a ticket?

### 1/5 — Notifications Don’t Work

*2026-02-13, version 25.22.0*

I have gotten so many parking tickets because the push notifications that my parking has expired disappear before I see them. There are no options to extend parking time, so I may be on my phone 5 minutes before my parking expires with no option to extend, but then get busy and not be on my phone for hours after and thus get a parking ticket. My work forces me to park on the street so I do not have another option. They do not work with AT&T so I can’t get text notifications. App support does not help.

### 1/5 — Works fine but can't search for an address.

*2025-11-28, version 25.22.0*

It works and functions well, but I can not search an address. It asks for the "zone number" and I don't know the zone number bro, I haven't arrived yet. I just want to look and see if there are available parking spots around so I could plan my trip. You know, common sense?

### 1/5 — Terrible Security

*2025-11-15, version 25.22.0*

Gave away everyone’s personal data but made up for it by giving everyone a dollar credit that had to be redeemed in four different parking payments.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2025-10-06, version 25.22.0*

I don’t know what happened but about 6 months ago the app just stopped working for me. I try to sign in but I get a “network error”. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling to no effect. It was really helpful when it worked. I turned 70 this year so I’m going to say it’s age discrimination.

### 1/5 — Paid for parking and still got a ticket

*2025-04-30, version 24.14.0*

I paid for parking in the app and still got a ticket. My recommendation is to avoid public parking in Pittsburgh whenever possible.

### 5/5 — Parking STAR

*2020-12-04, version 9.8*

This app is one of my favorites on my phone! No waiting in line to pay. No glare on the screen so I cant see what Im supposed to touch on the parking kiosk.  Pay right from my car and then add time to it wherever I am if Im late getting back.
Brilliant!!
