### 1/5 — Won’t verify on my phone

*2026-03-25, version 9.6.7*

Useless

### 3/5 — App Down = Parking Ticker

*2026-01-28, version 9.6.7*

Super frustrating when the app is down occasionally… and it lands you with a parking ticket! There is an appeal process; however, it’s never fun to walk out and see a ticket on your car- especially when trying to pay for parking but can’t getting the dang app to work

### 2/5 — Freezes all the time

*2026-01-21, version 9.6.7*

App frequently freezes and causes issues paying. Needs some serious upgrades.

### 1/5 — Used to like. Now it crashes

*2026-01-13, version 1.3.0*

I’ve deleted the app, restarted my phone, added the app and still it won’t load! I’m back to carrying quarters?!!

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2025-12-29, version 1.3.0*

I have deleted and reinstalled this app, and restarted my phone it will not open

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open

*2025-12-24, version 1.3.0*

This app sucks!

### 1/5 — This app stinks!

*2025-04-09, version 1.3.0*

NOT Able to pay with the app because the app said my credit card was already on file. But also not able to log into my account to use my credit card to pay for my parking. Second, nobody is around to help with this app when you’re standing out in the cold on the street, trying to pay. And especially when you’re trying to get to the hospitaland you have to pay for parking with an app that doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-09-02, version 1.3.0*

This is SO convenient! I don’t have to carry coins. I can extend the time if needed. Very easy to use!

### 1/5 — App required no thanks

*2024-07-18, version 1.3.0*

Why do I need an app to park? I shouldn’t.  Parked at a meter and went through the process of paying through an app, only to have the meter still be red.   Had to dig in the faq section to find out that the meter will always be red.   The whole process is a pain.  Why can’t I just use a card at the meter? Not a fan at all.   Plus there was a processing fee.  Worst parking experience in a city ever.  Do better.

### 5/5 — Awesome and Easy

*2023-07-27, version 1.3.0*

This app has helped me out several times while visiting Duluth It’s simple and easy to use and well worth the download Thank you for this app
