### 2/5 — Misleading

*2015-10-09*

It sounds like this app helps you find where to park. But all it does is remind you where you parked. Plus there are annoying ads.

### 2/5 — Misleading title. Not for "alternate side parking"

*2015-07-13*

This app does not help with alternate side parking. It's a very basic app to tag your car on a map and make a note for a parking meter.

### 2/5 — Doesn't give a calendar

*2015-01-03*

This app is a good idea, but has no calendar feature/only shows the next 6 hours. Would be WAY more useful if it had a monthly calendar feature.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-06-11*

Not worth keeping

### 1/5 — Ya app SUCKSSS

*2023-10-21, version 1.1*

This app SUCKSSS

### 1/5 — Got a ticket   anyway with over 25 min left !!!

*2019-04-10*

now I dont know how im going to fight this !

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-03-16*

The app crashes the second you open it and try to use it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-01-23*

Crashes way too often

### 1/5 — The location feature causes the app to crash

*2018-12-01*

This app needs an overhaul. On load up, when the app asks you for permission to use your location it crashes. It’s also crashes when you push the button for location.

### 1/5 — Completely useless

*2017-04-16*

The meter timer is useless because it's just easier to use your regular timer. The alternate side street parking is useless because it only gives you the current day… This app is a complete waste

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-12-31*

This app could not be more useless. Might work as a glorified timer to remind you to pay the meter but my phone already has that, it's called a clock. The map is nonfunctional, don't waste your time downloading this.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-11-29*

This is a useless app unless your smart phone does not have a stop watch..,,

### 2/5 — Good idea, needs a view of 7 days ahead

*2016-10-08*

A good idea but needs more features. This app would be significantly more useful if it had the next few days of street cleaning alerts. Most NYCers take the subway to work and don't drive their car daily. It only provides information for the current day only. The iPhone's timer takes care of "parking meter alerts" already.  So I'll still need to filter email to find the city's alternate side parking notifications. Or print the city's schedule and leave it in the car.
