Today it is not worth using. ### 2/5 — It was good while it lasted. *2022-05-05, version 1.7.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Was a great simple app *2021-10-01, version 1.7.0* Needs to be updated as it no longer works with iOS 14 onwards. ### 3/5 — 14.5.1 update borked it *2021-05-06, version 1.7.0* It Final limp to the finish line & collapsed at 14.5.1 marker ### 1/5 — I used to love it *2018-10-04, version 1.7.0* Since I updated my iPhone to iOS 12, Honk no longer works. How I miss it! I tried other parking meter apps but none of them matched the ease of use and the convenient features of Honk. Please fix it for me as soon as possible. PGrayV ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-09-12, version 1.7.0* Crashes when you try to set location. Hasn’t been updated in years. Removed it. ### 2/5 — 2018 *2018-08-13, version 1.7.0* They said that a new Honk update would be coming out. That was 3 years ago. App really should be updated now ### 1/5 — 🤷‍♂️ What happened? *2018-07-25, version 1.7.0* The app used to work perfect, and I depended on it when going to places like Knott‘s Berry Farm or Disneyland or some crazy place where you’re far from your car. Now, the app just crashes like a first generation DC-10. ### 1/5 — Honk no longer works with iOS *2018-04-14, version 1.7.0* This was a great app but since the iOS updates it no longer functions. Have deleted and reinstalled only to find still does not work. Well since Dec 1017 now 14th April 18 still no updates for this what a great app, still not working. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-01-27, version 1.7.0* Map crashed app. Doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time you try to use map dot *2017-12-23, version 1.7.0* Bad user interface, crashes, pass on this app. ### 2/5 — Lousy interface *2017-11-20, version 1.7.0* Brilliant idea, but.... If you use it once in a while, it's not worth the time to re learn the non intuitive functionality. A text menu and map would be more helpful. Nice idea, hopefully the developer will improve the interface. I suspect they haven't changed the interface because some like it like it is, reviews suggest this is not universal. Having an option to pick a different interface would please everyone, even text only would be an improvement. ### 1/5 — When it works it’s great *2017-10-02, version 1.7.0* Disappointed that it isn’t more intuitive. Now some actions don’t work with iOS update. Clicking on pinpointing car for location flips back to icon. ### 2/5 — Nice but... *2017-05-14, version 1.7.0* Was looking forward to using this well designed app. Unfortunately, the "repeat alarm" function doesn't work (tested several times), so if you happen to miss it going off you're toast, as it shuts itself off after it sounds. It does sound a couple of "pre alarms" before time is up which are certainly helpful but if for whatever reason you miss those and the final one too, here comes the tow truck. The alarm needs to keep sounding until the user turns it off. App deserves 5 Stars, if only that alarm repeat function would work. (IPhone 4s / iOS 9.3.5) ### 2/5 — Issues With iOS 10 *2016-10-11, version 1.7.0* I use this all the time and used to love it. However, the app no longer gives accurate countdown times on the app icon in iOS 10. Unless they update it, I'll probably be switching to a different app. ### 1/5 — No support for this old app *2016-09-24, version 1.7.0* It worked great for a while. Now when the time expires it goes back to the parking meter and you lose the map location. I sent two emails to them requesting support and no answer from developers. Do not purchase this old buggy app that does not offer support! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless now *2026-05-14, version 1.7.0* Don’t bother doesn’t work anymore ### 1/5 — Update *2023-03-06, version 1.7.0* Can not work ### 1/5 — DOA *2022-09-14, version 1.7.0* Will not work with current IOS. Garbage app. Should be removed from the store. ### 1/5 — iPhone incompatible *2021-12-25, version 1.7.0* Won’t work on updated IOS ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-10-26, version 1.7.0* Omg guys this app is a virus help don’t do it plzzzzzzzz ### 1/5 — Way out of date *2021-05-25, version 1.7.0* Only updated to ios11. ### 1/5 — Used to be Awesome *2020-01-12, version 1.7.0* This was my go to app for parking. It was accurate on both time & GPS location. The MAIN problem is when Apple went to iOS 11 (or anything above that) the app doesn’t seem to work well. I’d gladly pay for the app but no updates makes me wonder. Also some of the icons are pretty ambiguous & there is no manual or guide; like what’s w/ the spade in the upper right corner & what’s the little “C...” & “G...” pop up menus for? ### 1/5 — Terrible, should be put out of its misery. *2019-06-24, version 1.7.0* There is no excuse for this so called parking app, it is complete rubbish. Don’t even know where to start because it’s all bad ### 1/5 — Honk Not! *2019-05-28, version 1.7.0* This app is not functional. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-05-07, version 1.7.0* I used to love this app but now every time I tap on the map, the app closes. I thought they were going to fix this for iPhones but apparently they haven’t. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great but….. *2021-05-18, version 1.7.0* I’ve used this app for a number of years and it’s great, very useful (saved me from many parking tickets) a simple straightforward app that does what it needs to do or at least it did. It’s stopped working as it’s not compatible with the latest iOS, no sign of an updated version so please will the developers update this ASAP ### 5/5 — Gorichon *2016-11-07, version 1.7.0* All my friends know this app because of me. We all find it very useful ### 5/5 — Great Parking App *2016-04-11, version 1.7.0* Love it works well! ### 5/5 — Best parking timer I've found *2016-03-19, version 1.7.0* Reliable app I always turn to. Volume is dependent on your main volume settings - my wife complains that the alert is too loud. But I like that so I always know when to move. Good app. ### 5/5 — Best alarm clock app *2014-09-23, version 1.7.0* I somehow needed to setup an alarm to pick up my kid (2 hours after drop off). I've never like turning those silly wheels in the clock app again and again to setup a quick alarm. With Honk, one swipe is all I need to do. ### 5/5 — ALMOST FLAWLESS ALARM AND FIND CAR APP *2014-09-11, version 1.7.0* the app functions perfectly as a quick & easy alarm app. I gift this app to my friends and they really love it. ### 5/5 — Fantasitc $$$ saving app *2014-09-11, version 1.7.0* I use Honk on daily basis, as I park my car a lot on streets. It has been saving tons of money. And the new version, with its link to the step-by-step instruction is a killer! Love Honk Honk. ### 5/5 — OK nice! *2014-02-26, version 1.6.2* Very convenient, simple and useful! Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Honk honk *2014-02-10, version 1.6.2* Love this app, used it many times. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-08-06, version 1.6.0* Always on time to save me from getting ticket or used as an alarm --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
