Still got a ticket

Paid through the app immediately after parking, got the charge on my card, and STILL got a ticket 30 minutes later. Takes your money instantly but fails to protect you from getting ticketed. Totally unreliable system and a complete waste of time having to contest it.

Insanely bad

Charged ne $6 for parking then gave me 0 minutes…tried it again, charged me $6 and same thing. App and Laguna themselves have been zero help.

Worst parking app

I have about 10 different parking apps on my phone. This one does not allow you to add time. Also if you are parked and move to a new location it still sees the old parking and does not let you park until the old one expires. Unfortunately this is the app the city has so you are stuck if you want to visit Laguna Beach

The worst

This is the worst parking app I’ve experienced. Must be the city’s corruption and scheme to steal money from residents and visitors by making it impossible to pay for parking and issuing citations.

Times out never works

This app is terrible. Times out, even tried to bypass the app and it takes you to I’m assuming the developer page to try and just manually do a web version and it still times out and doesn’t work. How is that even possible in 2026 for an area that most people already complaining about regarding parking? Why wouldn’t you just use one of the major parking app services to handle such a high traffic area? Please do better

Horrible app

This is the worst app that I have ever used. I would rather have my car get hit by an asteroid than use this app. It does not work, and it’s horrible. The development team should feel shame for their creation.

App doesn’t work lol

City insists on making a parking app .. at least ensure it works

Horrible app

Trying to pay then 2.50 for an hour of parking and have been sitting in my car for 30 minutes trying to even get to a point where the app shows anything other than my account info. The app also takes like 5 minutes to load. It would’ve been faster for me to go to a store and get quarters

Cannot login

After the account activation, you cannot login at all. Very bad experience.

Doesn't Work

Won't allow entering a credit card or license plate number - what does the app do???

Simply Awful

PAY AT THE METER! DO NOT USE THIS APP. Could be the worst app I have ever used. We had to try multiple email accounts & multiple cards before it worked. Paid for the max and still harassed by the parking goons. I. wasn’t sure it was possible to dislike Laguna Beach more than I did. But to my surprise, I actually can. Just the worst.

Terrible

Impossible to use this . So frustrating. You pay very expensive for the parking in Laguna and you even can use the app

Don’t use this app!

I properly used this app (have the receipt) and got a $75 ticket anyway. Now I’ve had to file an appeal. The meters don’t reflect that you’ve paid.

Trash

This app is total trash. Nothing works fine. You can't save the credit card info. Half the text is covered so you can't see what it says. Settings (push notifications) won't save. Kicks user out very frequently...

Horrible

The app kicked me out and won’t accept my password. When I try to reset my password, it says that it sent a code to my email, but nothing is sent. I don’t understand how in 2025 you can’t build a simple parking app that works.

Worst App Ever

This application will not tell you where you are in order to get a parking permit. It looks like this is a scam perpetrated by the authorities.

Doesn’t work

Won’t accept my payments. Tried 3 different cards!!! Such a waste of my time

Not helpful

Ap shows you parking lots but not where u are. One lot (Lumber) we tried getting directions via link ….never saw it just kept passing it by. Another lot we pulled in to was limited to 3 hours. No information on prices of lots which are quite varied. Finally ended up in a lot and unable to pay via ap, paid at pay station.

Worked great

I was skeptical at first but app downloaded and worked like a charm. I used to use coins and this is so much easier. Even has a map and search for the city!

Horrible app

Meters only take coins and their app is trash. Good job Laguna Beach😒
