Meh

This app is not the worst, but it’s also not great. Kind of a let down that there is no map so that I can see what zone I am in to pay for parking. I still have to physically go find it what zone I am in off the meter and I think k that defeats the purpose of the app.

Horrible Customer Service

Horrible customer service, I recently moved to a new province. New license plate,y last province was always three letters -three numbers. I received a ticket disputed it and they said I had put a O and not 0 so the ticket was valid…. Come on some leniency or understanding would have been nice. I hate that this is the only option for cashless parking

Not my best experience

I have used a few parking apps and I don't care for this app at all. It does not provide you with a heads up that your time is coming to an end so you can top up but instead you risk a parking ticket. And seriously, why force us to subscribe? There are much better, user friendly parking apps out there. Please learn from them

Poor substitute for Pay By Phone

App charges a fee and doesn’t even remember the basics of your vehicle

Game changer

This app takes away from the hassle of parking downtown.
