### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-06-30, version 26.26.0*

Can’t find anything near me even with precise location turned on. Found stuff 1000 to 2000 miles away.

### 3/5 — Terrible since update

*2026-06-01*

I’ve used this app for years and had no complaints until the update earlier this year. Previously it was relatively easy to select the closest parking zone to your current area and scroll to find your spot. However, now it always just says “too many zones to list” so I end up typing the spot number manually. This would not be so frustrating if typing in the number automatically displayed the correct spot, but instead this is clearly a Milwaukee-focused wrapper for a larger parking app, as other parking spots with the same number in other, far away cities will often display BEFORE the actual parking spot in Milwaukee. The app is usable but frustrating, and worse than it was pre-update

### 3/5 — 2FA will not work if you already use ParkMobile

*2026-02-13*

I already have ParkMobile installed as I’m a Metra user that park in the suburbs of Chicago. The MKE Park app is essentially a Milwaukee flavored wrapper for the ParkMobile app. The two factor authentication by email verification makes it impossible to log into MKE if you already have the ParkMobile app installed, because the link will open PM instead of MKE. Of course, there’s no problem using the ParkMobile app to park in Milwaukee but it isn’t obvious for visitors who were not exposed to the city’s ad campaign and there are almost NO signs for the app except a little sticker on the meters which is difficult to see at night. [update] There is a workaround to opening the 2FA link in MKE by long-pressing the link and opening the link in Safari. The web link will then ask to open MKE instead of PM. MKE will inherit strings from PM and also give you access to Milwaukee specific links in the app like the overnight registration and HOP info.

### 1/5 — App broken?

*2026-01-12, version 25.22.0*

In January 2026, I attempted to use the app to park in Milwaukee. For some reason, the app was unresponsive when I tried to enter and save my license plate, phone number and preferred method of payment. I used the app several years earlier with no problem, but now it seems to be broken.

### 1/5 — Non-Functioning

*2025-12-03, version 25.22.0*

The app looks nice, but it won’t accept my credit card number, so I can’t use it.

### 1/5 — Absolute useless garbage

*2025-08-20, version 25.22.0*

Wont let you do anything without a. One number but there is NO ZONE NUMBER IN THE METER. Completely inaccurate location spotting means that it does t think I’m parked where I am and won’t give my meter number as an option. Won’t let you JUST ENTER THE NUMBER IF TGE METER I PARKED AT. Absolute trash.

### 1/5 — Lacks basic functionality

*2025-04-03, version 24.14.0*

The app should allow the user to key in the number printer on the (Milwaukee) parking meter.  Having to invoke a map and click/scroll around makes a simple task unnecessarily complex.

### 1/5 — Totally unreliable login

*2025-01-30, version 24.14.0*

I am sitting here missing my meeting apparently waiting for another login email. Why can’t I just make a password? Get real 2FA, if I get a parking ticket I will be mailing it to you all.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2024-12-28*

So, it’s obvious that many reviewers like the app here, and I don’t. Here’s why.  The barcode reader 
at garage entry and exit isn’t always great. Coming back from a great warmer weather vacation, something caused my MKE Smart Park app to decide to take one! Somehow 
by the time I deplaned walked the longer distance to my level 4 parking spot, and drove out to what appears to be the only Smart Park exit lane, my app logged out. This was the major hassle and why it did it no one knowledgeable has explained it, so far.
So, no logged on NO barcode to pay and exit at the garage exit lanes. So I had to make a phone call at midnight, and go through all the semantics of identifying myself and my vehicle. The whole process took me about 15 minutes. I think next time I will just use a traditional credit card for payment. You can gladly have the smart app! It’s not for me.

### 1/5 — Dead as a doornail. :(

*2023-07-13*

This app made it possible to park in mke, since all the meters around UWM have worn out card readers.  Except that someone stole my phone so now I’m back to using my iPhone 6.  Every app works on it but this one, that won’t even allow a previous version to install, when I had one on this phone that worked fine not long ago.  So I‘m supposed to buy a new thousand dollar phone just to park?  Guess I’ll ride my bike from the free Park-n-Ride or something.  Disappointing.
