### 2/5 — not helpful

*2026-01-01, version 3.3.6*

not user friendly

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2025-12-03, version 3.3.6*

I hate hang tag - it works ok most of the time, but when it doesn’t, it’s more than frustrating - can’t you guys get some advice from someone who knows about parking apps to improve this system?

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2025-11-24, version 3.3.6*

I can’t log in, there’s no log in screen.  It just wants to make a new account but won’t because I already have one. How do I use this??

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!!!

*2025-11-13*

Used to love this app, but had to log off and now can’t log back in. Keeps giving me an error message, saying not connected to internet when I obviously am

And when going to get customer support I get sent to website where there is nothing on how to solve this issue.

Issue has never been resolved. This is unacceptable, especially  since it’s the only parking app accepted in the specific parking lot I use in NW Portions

### 1/5 — Failed

*2025-11-08, version 3.3.6*

On November 6, 2025. I use this app for the first time. Once my information was entered I received a message that said your session has started. The next thing I know I’m getting a parking violation from the Portland, Oregon police stating that I did not have a receipt in my windshield. I tried to reach customer service and was on the phone for an hour. No one came to the phone. It’s now two days later and I still haven’t heard from customer service . I was told by I’m park customer service that the next time I use the app I should make sure I’m paid before I leave my car. What a backhanded slap and what a horrible customer service experience if you’re going to use this slot use the QR code or the machine or you’ll get a $90 ticket

### 1/5 — Awful

*2025-11-03, version 3.3.6*

I paid through them, got a ticket from parking lot company for nonpayment, and when I called HangTag for proof of payment thst I could send to the parking lot company, they said they had no proof. BUT THE MONEY GOT TAKEN OUT OF MY ACCOUNT!

### 1/5 — Error prone

*2025-10-29, version 3.3.3*

I would give this app zero stars if it were allowed.  Can’t even sign up with a new account.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-10-24, version 3.3.3*

Wouldn’t let me pay for parking in the app. Kept getting a “Internal Server” error.  Had to leave my hotel at 6am to go to the parking lot to pay at a machine.

### 1/5 — This app is unusable

*2025-10-21, version 3.3.3*

This app does not progress past selecting location. I can enter an address, a lot number, or search via the map but I cannot progress past this point. Will be deleting app.

### 1/5 — Always a terrible experience!

*2025-10-18, version 3.3.3*

Never user friendly

### 1/5 — Inoperable

*2025-10-14, version 3.3.3*

It won’t allow a card for payment. It keeps saying try again later.

### 1/5 — Confusing & contradictory

*2025-09-27, version 3.3.3*

Installed the app at home and searched for parking near where I was going. It found a couple of lots and provided the hourly rate. But when I got down to the lot, the price displayed was much more, with no explanation. Couldn’t rely on the app and scanned the QR code at the lot to pay that way.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2025-09-16, version 3.3.3*

Not function

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2025-09-14, version 3.3.3*

500 Internal Service Error, hangs on editing payment. Idiotic method of selecting your parking area on map with no user interface to continue on once selected. Clearly untested and not maintained. Pay at kiosk to avoid issues.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-09-06, version 3.3.3*

App crashes. Slow to respond. Inaccurate location detection.

### 1/5 — Buggy app

*2025-09-03, version 3.3.3*

I use 4 similar apps, this one doesn’t work

### 2/5 — Always a mission to pay for parking

*2025-08-20*

I feel like this app tries to trick you . I paid for 7 hr parking and it charged me $0 . Then i get a ticket. When the app shouldve charged me actual amount . Its ridiculous. 
It sometimes fails to secure a payment , they need to fix the app to be able to pay accordingly

### 1/5 — Not even functional

*2025-08-11, version 3.3.3*

This app doesn’t even work. Terrible, horrible, and the provider offers no other way to access your account. What a borderline scam.

### 1/5 — Constant error message

*2025-08-10, version 3.3.3*

Can’t really review because I can’t even finish registration!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-08-07, version 3.3.3*

Just like every other review. You can’t even download the app now. What a garbage company, I guess the only way they can make money is by charging you even after you’ve paid for parking.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Barely works but at least I park for free those days

*2026-01-30*

App is terrible, makes you click multiple times to select the right lot, likely due to how slow the app functions. You will have to uninstall/reinstall multiple times.

### 1/5 — Not very reliable

*2026-01-28, version 3.3.6*

I have tried multiple tea lately to use this app and it keeps giving me error messages… it used to be good… but now stinks and causes me to waste inordinate time trying to pay for parking… quality is totally downhill.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-01-28, version 3.3.6*

Not very effective. Trying to pay for my car in -10° had to still get out of my car and scan the code and re-enter all my information.

### 1/5 — No Apple Pay, No ANY Pay

*2026-01-26, version 3.3.6*

App returned “no payment method” error when trying to pay with a stored credit card.  No option for Apple Pay.  With no way to pay for parking, this app is basically useless.  Deleted.

### 1/5 — Customer service

*2026-01-15, version 3.3.6*

Customer service is not helpful at all. The app doesn’t work properly.

### 1/5 — Payment issues with App

*2026-01-09, version 3.3.6*

Very Poor. I created profile and inserted credit card details.. app says successful payment taken $0.01. And app do not allow for payment could not park..

### 1/5 — Unable to delete vehicle if there’s a typo in the license number

*2026-01-08*

Why do you guys make it impossible to delete a vehicle information when there’s a typo? You can delete it fine when there are no typos. The point of deleting something is when you made a mistake. Why is there an error and why is it so difficult?

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-01-06, version 3.3.6*

(1) my payment method is saved and all the info for it is entered correctly, but when I go to pay for parking, the app says the payment method doesn’t exist (or something like that).
(2) the map is sooooo bad. Most of the time, I have to manually zoom in on my location for it to show parking options and get to the specific one I’m at. Fine, I can do that, but then the map will zoom itself back out not long after I’ve zoomed in! So then I have to zoom in again. The location button also doesn’t work. 

This app SUCKS SO HARD.

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2025-12-22, version 3.3.6*

Not user friendly or responsive at all. Been trying to add my payment method for over 10 minutes and it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-12-17, version 3.3.6*

Trying to pay for parking,seems to want to give me directions. Late for meetings

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2022-12-24, version 2.2.1*

Downloaded this app one night so I could park on the street at a broken meter. It was quick and easy and very reliable.

### 5/5 — First month review

*2022-07-30, version 2.2.1*

So far I love it! 
No issues with it yet, but sometimes it gives me free parking, so I’m a bit skeptical about that, because no where on the app does it say that they do/have any discounts… 
I’m just hoping that I won’t get a bill, or towed…

### 5/5 — Affordable

*2021-08-19, version 2.0.3*

Easy and great way to pay for parking! Not to much considering I’m a college student and was about to pay $150 for parking at school and have no where to park on campus.

### 5/5 — Monday

*2021-03-01, version 1.6.1*

This parking lot service is so affordable and convenient! It saved the day (on a Monday)! Thank you so much for making it so easy and accessible to park with you guys!

### 5/5 — BUG FIXES PLEASE!!!!

*2020-05-22, version 1.4*

I believe this app has the potential to be great. i work in manhattan the lot is right across the street from my job. however, my app wont find this lot so i can pay for it, but 3 of my coworkers can and paid for it and i got stuck trying to find another lot.  Please fix these map issues. if you search for the lot it will pop up in the search but cannot click on it to pay.

### 5/5 — Very helpful and easy to use

*2020-05-07, version 1.3.1*

It can be confusing to find parking. There are so many options and you don’t always know what is the right one for the best price. I love using this application and highly recommend it for anyone searching for parking.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2020-03-28, version 1.1*

Love being able to find the right lot and pay from my car instead of waiting in line at the kiosk. Was out to dinner and got a reminder to extend! Saved me from getting a ticket.

### 4/5 — Decent app with one flaw

*2020-11-05, version 1.6.1*

The app functions well in general and it’s easy to find where your parking. However, it always ask to confirm your vehicle in a tiny pop up that I’ve missed once or twice and not paid for parking. Luckily the attendant was forgiving but poor design right at the end.

### 3/5 — Can’t delete vehicles.

*2023-05-08*

I started using the application last week, and it worked fairly well. This morning, I realized that I had entered the license plate incorrectly. I tried to change it, but the system would not allow that, so I created a new vehicle with the correct license plate. I said that as the default and expected it to be able to delete the incorrect one that did not work. That seems like a very reasonable thing to have to work in an application this type.

### 3/5 — No support

*2022-08-31, version 2.2.1*

This app is quick to take your money and inadequate for specific site conditions.  It is not well supported to resolve its issues. 
Transactions fees too high for value. 
The app has no way to address discrepancies between the posted rates on parking sites.  Fees per transaction are high compared to other apps.
