Useless now

Don’t bother doesn’t work anymore

The developer has abandoned this app.

It was a good app 10 years ago. Today it is not worth using.

Update

Can not work

DOA

Will not work with current IOS. Garbage app. Should be removed from the store.

It was good while it lasted.

Back in the day, and I do really mean ‘back in the day’ because this app has not worked since iOS 12, this was a very good app.

It did what it said on the box without too many bells and whistles. And it was reliable. You knew that if you were paying attention, you would be warned well in advance of the time expiring on your parking meter, airport parking lot, or wherever you happened to be parked and were at risk of getting a fine for overstaying your welcome.

The alarm is generally loud enough to wake you from a slumber, should the need arise.

I don’t know what’s happened to the developer, but I wish that they would resume work on this very helpful app. I, for one, haven’t found anything else to replace it.
