Session history - my visitor once received a ticket when the session was on and I couldn’t prove it cz I do not have session history/timestamps 2. A floating (non-disappearing) phone screen notification when session is on - as someone with ADHD I keep forgetting to turn it off when the visitor leaves… Would be greatly appreciated! ### 1/5 — Parking tickets galore!! Do not use this app!! *2026-08-08, version 3.5.34* I never had any problems with this app before June of this year (2026), but TWICE now I’ve been issued parking tickets despite paying through the app. You can download the proof of payment and send it in for administrative review, but what an absolute waste of time to do so. Absolutely insane that tax dollars are going into an app that doesn’t do the one thing it’s supposed to. ### 1/5 — Horrible Customer Service *2026-08-05, version 3.5.34* Their app malfunctions and they don't care. They just say take it up in traffic court they're arrogant rude and it's disgusting . They're not here to help solve a problem. They're here to shove it in your face and say too bad there's a glitch, but you have to pay for out failure. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2026-07-09, version 3.5.34* I use this app all the time, so this post isn’t about a one time-thing where the user doesn’t know what he’s doing. Parked, set it up in the app, as always, and left. Two hours later, I open the app to stop the parking and it never started. However, it started just like every other 1000 times I’ve used it, so it to not work. If I get a ticket, I’ll be pretty annoyed. Don’t get me started about the failed password attempts, even though the password is right. I’ve had to redo my password with this app about 10 times now. Absolute garbage ### 1/5 — Confusing *2026-07-02, version 3.5.34* Most confusing app. Why you don’t use Google/Apple signup? Why you don’t ask for plate number in the beginning before showing error for thousands of time? You need an onboarding wizard ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-06-27, version 3.5.34* I have tried multiple times to open an account and I always get error messages. I’ve had to pay as a guest every time. This app is garbage. ### 2/5 — Frustratingly slow app *2026-06-27, version 3.5.34* This app is the slowest app out of every app I’ve ever used. It would be nice to be able to register visitors plates for a parking permit quickly instead of frustratingly slow like it is. It makes me wish we still had physical parking passes in Calgary to hang in a visitors car window. Seriously, can the developers not make the app respond quicker? ### 2/5 — Can’t Modify End Time?? *2026-06-15, version 3.5.34* Defaults to max time and does not allow you set End Time like on the vpm. Tried to park in a 9h zone and only option was to pay for the entire day. Had to go do it on the vpm website instead. Devs please add so I don’t have to keep inputting my info over and over on vpm. ### 1/5 — Awfully lagging *2026-06-09, version 3.5.34* Application is very slow and has billions of bugs. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Buggy app *2026-05-23, version 3.5.34* I can’t setup an account as it expects the phone number in a super weird and strict format with parenthesis and dashes, but the available keyboard only accept numbers! Result: it says wrong number and doesn’t accept to enter phone numbers. iPhone. So buggy in the most elemental functions! ## Frequently asked questions about MyParking ### What does this app do?
