### 2/5 — Poorly supported

*2026-07-10, version 10.3.9*

ICON recently updated the app and presto didn’t transfer my recurring payments which were working up to June 26.
So I get a notice of delinquent payment… took me an hour to reregister and reset up recurring payments.
Had happened to a neighbor also.

### 3/5 — Decent but quirky

*2025-11-01, version 10.3.5*

The app functions fine for making reservations. The quirky bit is that the barcode displayed when you view a reservation to show it at the garage is a bit too big. It hits the edge of my iPhone’s screen which prevents it from being scanned. The ticket # usually works to find my reservation. But the barcode should be scannable.

### 2/5 — Get ready to overcharged

*2024-10-07, version 10.3.1*

I used app many times in past . It used to convenient. However lately  depending on location you park rules always change. All of a sudden you can get overcharged. Don’t assume just because you prepaid your parking spot that’s the amount you are going to be paying .

### 1/5 — Request Car

*2024-08-04, version 10.2.0*

Request your car on the app does not work. After I have reloaded the app several times and put in the proper information with the parking attendant with the correct account number still the request your car app does not work.

### 1/5 — Downgrade.

*2024-05-11, version 10.0.0*

This app gets worse with each downgrade. I actually prefer the days I would just text the garage and they retrieve the car. Now it is step after step and in the end, I get either a server error or the garage never gets the message. Garbage.

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2024-04-28, version 10.0.0*

The recent update rewrorkes the UI, which is much terrible. Promo codes don’t showup. Accessing favorite parking lot isn’t user friendly.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

*2024-04-25, version 10.0.0*

can not delete car requests so that there are so many old undeleted requests cant see current ones… current ones dont always appear and have often showed up in garage only to find out they never received request
Please fix

### 1/5 — Terrible app got worse

*2024-03-25, version 9.9.31*

Need to request my car. Have gotten used to the 7 click throughs needed to do this (why??), but the submit button now is hidden under the menu bar.

### 1/5 — Fake prices on app

*2024-03-12, version 9.9.31*

In the app you input you car make and model. You pick a parking and it presents you “your prices” that you pay. When you show up thinking you have prepaid the garage then determines if the car is oversized or not and then they charge an additional $15 plus a “convenience fee” of $1.99. When questioned they said the system does not use the info you put in the app for make and model when presenting prices. So it’s a bait and switch app. Don’t bother using.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-11-18, version 9.9.30*

I have a monthly garage spot. We used to have to text to make sure our cars are ready, but now we need to use this app. I sent in a request last night, but when I got to the garage, they didn’t have it. For some reason, it got closed a couple hours ago. Now I’m standing here with my dog, holding a car seat, and my wife is standing around with our baby waiting. when the app works, I can usually expect multiple notifications with the same info, for no obvious reason. I have another request for my car from weeks ago that still shows up in the list, and I can’t cancel it. In summary, I make mobile apps for a living, and this is about as bad as it gets.

### 2/5 — Please fix for non/monthly parkers

*2023-11-13, version 9.9.27*

Save my garage. It takes too long to search for it every time even tho I have made it a favorite  And it is too easy to select a nearby garage in the small  map.

### 1/5 — Awful for Monthly customers

*2023-11-07, version 9.9.27*

I miss the old texting system. It worked perfectly. And always efficient. This app is poorly designed and requesting your monthly vehicle requires multiple steps and screens. The app is often down and not available. 
Bugs that annoy me are the constant “1” red circle alert but there are no messages or notifications visible or any way to clear it. Also, I have old vehicle requests from months ago that won’t clear from the request screen and I cannot delete them or edit them. They just sit there with “ready” or “approved” next to them. Really poorly designed app.

### 1/5 — Garbage app

*2023-11-06, version 9.9.27*

Never works, they’ve screwed me over on my monthly requests at least once a week

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2023-10-31, version 9.9.27*

Won’t go away.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work when you need it most

*2023-10-11, version 9.9.27*

The previous system of texting the garage worked perfectly.  Forcing us to use this app instead seems like a very greedy attempt to get our attention by giving us an app that doesn’t function most of the time so that we can’t actually request our vehicles when we need them urgently.  It’s a giant waste of time, and creates a lot of stress, not to mention lack of trust in this company.

### 1/5 — This ap is garbage

*2023-10-07, version 9.9.27*

I loved this garage when I could just text an hour in advance and get my car. This app makes it so impossible to get my car it’s stupid.

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2023-09-20, version 9.9.27*

Difficult to use. Monthly requests for car are not in the main menu. It persists in telling me I have not read a message. I can’t get it to stop.

### 1/5 — Bad for monthly parkers

*2023-09-18, version 9.9.27*

Icon wants monthly parkers to use this app to schedule their car pick-ups (they previously had a text system).  But instead of a simple, user-friendly app for monthly parkers, we have to use this clunky app which is really for spot parkers

Monthly car requests are buried and require multiple clicks.  Really a chore.  Please give monthly users a proper, streamlined app!

### 2/5 — Hassle for monthly clients, mystifying alerts

*2023-09-18, version 9.9.27*

I am a monthly client of an Icon garage; the app requires many clicks to register a vehicle request. “Request monthly vehicle “ could be in the main menu, but no. On my phone the app constantly shows red “1” circles for messages?alerts? But there is no obvious way to see it or clear it. I much preferred the old system of texting.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-14, version 10.3.9*

I can’t request my car, setup payment, or really do anything. Also the number in the app does not work. 0/10 experience.

### 1/5 — Please fix - your app is terrible

*2026-01-09, version 10.3.5*

I park in an Icon garage weekly.  I was using another app flawlessly until my Icon garage had problems and they couldn’t accommodate me.  They told me that because I hadn’t used their app they wouldn’t accommodate me at another Icon garage.  This had happened a few times so I tried the Icon app.  It never works correctly.  I try to save my work address but it disappears almost every time I sign out of the app.  More than half the time I get to the final page of making a reservation and when I click the final button it tells me there is some kind of error or the system is down.  This is pathetic.   Please fix your app.

### 1/5 — Double Billing

*2025-12-25, version 10.3.5*

I pulled into the Icon at 50/70 W. 93rd.  The attendant took a photo of my license plate, but asked for nothing else (he didn’t even look at my phone reservation which I showed him).  I assumed the system had changed.  When I returned to pick up the car, I was told that unless I paid an amount almost double the prepaid amount I had already paid, I would not get my car.  I had to pay them, but I quickly notified my credit card company of the double bill, and they reversed the charge.  I am still waiting for a final disposition.  These guys need to do better.

### 1/5 — App is broken since update

*2025-09-26, version 10.3.5*

Customer for years, this app hasn’t worked since you last updated it. It’s insane that it hasn’t been touched since. I can’t access account info, put in a pickup request, nothing gets past the loading screen. Terrible experience

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-09-02, version 10.3.5*

Doesn’t keep a good history of your parking, doesn’t really knowing your monthly garage, and as of sep 2025, doesn’t have the ability to send a message to retrieve your car-  they have gone back to using text messages outside the app.  Why, exactly do I have such a terrible app for a $600+\month parking space?

### 1/5 — Please fix - your app is terrible

*2025-07-30*

I park in an Icon garage weekly.  I was using another app flawlessly until my Icon garage had problems and they couldn’t accommodate me.  They told me that because I hadn’t used their app they wouldn’t accommodate me at another Icon garage.  This had happened a few times so I tried the Icon app.  It never works correctly.

This is pathetic.   Please fix your app.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-07-21, version 10.3.5*

I paid through the app but mysteriously as soon as I get to the location, the app has no record of the reservation.

### 1/5 — If only I could rate 0 stars

*2025-01-03, version 10.3.2*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Don’t use

*2024-09-24, version 10.3.1*

Don’t use icon they say you can make a reservations but don’t tell you they are a limited number then the app gives you an error. It doesn’t tell you the limit has been reached.

### 1/5 — Terrible for Monthly customers

*2024-08-06, version 10.2.0*

The vehicle request does not work in app.  You have to use the website which is difficult to use on your phone.   Really frustrating.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2023-09-13, version 9.9.27*

I been using this app for the last 5 years. Is the best.

### 5/5 — Very convenient

*2020-10-01*

The app is very convenient it finds me very quickly the parking garage you need and then let’s you boo on the app and pay and reserve a spot. It’s very cool and best of all you get great discounts. Also if you don’t want to book before hand you can get a coupon for a good deal. Very good app

### 5/5 — I❤️Icon Parking & Staff

*2020-05-16*

Always taken care of with a smile by great staff whether I park at my Monthly Location on E 38th (between 2nd and 1st Ave) or I use a different location. Many thanks to Manager Richard for outstanding service as I have been parking there for 22 years. Thanks Icon!

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2018-08-03, version 6.6*

I’m not sure why other users are composing. Worked fine for me. Rates could be better.

### 5/5 — HappyParkerNYC

*2018-05-03*

I’ve tried all major nyc parking apps and found this one to be the easiest to use. Easy to save prior locations to navigate to in the future and save promo codes to get discounts on parking. Definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2018-03-23, version 5.1*

Good application to survive from high costs of manhattan parking!!

### 5/5 — Best parking app so far

*2017-11-24, version 4.5*

Love this app with new features

### 5/5 — New version

*2017-11-16, version 4.4*

I love the new and improved version! I was able to navigate it really easily and like the new interface!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2017-11-16, version 4.4*

This app is terrific. Very user friendly and easy to find the closest parking locations every time!

### 5/5 — Saves time and money

*2011-11-09, version 2.0.0*

Parking in NYC can be time consuming and expensive. This app has made my life much easier by finding me the closest location to my destination and proving me the cost in advance.

This new version even allows me to use coupons directly from my IPhone without needing to print them in advance.
