### 5/5 — No way to set up ap

*2026-03-22, version 1.0.2*

No way to set up app

### 5/5 — Easy, Breezy, Parking

*2025-06-06, version 1.0.2*

I downloaded this as an alternative to using ParkMobile. The signup process is straightforward, and I can easily set up my parking time! I highly recommend using this app when parking in New Haven!

### 5/5 — Easy, Intuitive, Convenient

*2025-05-30, version 1.0.2*

With the Alerts, totally relieved the stress of worrying about time and interrupting meaningful conversations.

### 1/5 — Embarrassingly bad app

*2024-08-22, version 1.0.2*

No Apple Pay , no geolocation , you have to manually enter a 5 digit zone number and then your whole card info for payment. GUI looks like from 10 years ago or the intern from a middle school did it for them. Laughable.

### 1/5 — Why not let the user pick number of stars.

*2024-08-12, version 1.0.2*

Maybe later?

### 5/5 — User friendly

*2023-12-07, version 1.0.2*

This app is easy to use and intuitive. I appreciate it being easy, especially in the cold when I’m in a rush and I can pay the parking in about a minute! I can also add minutes from wherever I’m at if my appointment takes longer than expected.

### 4/5 — Convenient

*2022-05-16, version 1.0.2*

The app is user friendly and very convenient to pay for parking.No matter where you are.

### 1/5 — EXTRA charge when using this app to pay!

*2020-11-05, version 1.0.2*

Unbelievable!!!

### 4/5 — Pretty good and convenient

*2020-02-15, version 1.0.2*

Pretty good app overall. However over 2 separate Apple updates it has kicked me out and decided that I needed to reenter my password and username. If you’re not keeping good track of this obviously now it’s the jump through hoops and password reset issue. Great for downtown frequent Parker’s.

### 1/5 — Needs a update doesn’t support iPhone 11 Pro

*2020-01-23, version 1.0.1*

Every time i try to open it it force closes please update to support the latest iPhones
