### 1/5 — Setup screen too large for phone

*2026-08-16*

I’m not able to even begin using the app because as I go to set up my account, the “next” button is off screen, no matter the orientation of my phone

### 1/5 — Cannot setup account

*2026-07-31*

Overly difficult trying to be secure, making it hard enough. Then doesn’t even work anyhow.

### 1/5 — Not able to receive any text

*2026-06-29*

Worst app I’ve ever seen. Got 20minutes sunburn just try to figure out.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-16*

Does anyone actually use this app to successfully pay for parking!? Have tried half a dozen times and only get a “network error” when trying to pay. Useless!

### 1/5 — “Space Not Available”

*2026-04-09*

I hope the developers of this app feel contrite shame or I hope that they are laughing all the way to the bank. This is essentially a prank app that yields “Space Not Available” no matter where or when you park :)

### 1/5 — Won’t work on 17 Pro

*2026-01-25, version 9.6.3*

Can’t get past opening screen

### 1/5 — Country list

*2026-01-04, version 9.6.3*

Country list its not working

### 1/5 — Won’t work!

*2026-01-02*

downloaded this app for my iPhone. The App Store says it’s compatible with my phone but when I download it and enter my phone number there is no verify button.

### 1/5 — No Apple or Google Pay

*2026-01-02*

What is the point of making someone dig out a credit card and manually type it into your app instead of just using ApplePay or Google Pay that is built right into the smartphone you are holding? Huge pain in the neck that is not necessary. TO make it worse, this app is simply a re-skin of the Passport parking app which DOES accept those payment types, the City simply decided not to enable that and instead forces you to stand in the rain or heat digging out your credit card. It would be fine if I lived here and used this app all the time, but I am simply visiting so now I also have my credit card stored in another system that can be hacked and stolen. Ridiculous. Stop making life difficult for people and turn on Apple Pay!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-11-01*

I attempted to use the app, entered all the info and received a ticket anyway. Not worth missing work to go before a judge. Just use the CC kiosk on the parking meter directly.
