Login doesn’t work quarter of the time

Apple Sign In keeps failing this happen repeatedly.

MASSIVE reliability issues

I’ve used this app to purchase parking, and been successfully charged. The past 4 sessions I’ve come back to my car with parking tickets for no time on the meter. I’ll be contacting the local parking enforcement to clear the tickets, but this app clearly has issues actually showing purchases and essentially collecting free money and it’s not okay.

Difficult to Use

I’ve used a lot of parking apps, but this one has to be the worst. I understand that we the users are not the customer since it’s the municipalities that pay them, so they put in the minimal effort required.

For example, not only does the app not support Apple Pay, but they don’t even label the fields correctly so that your phone’s automatic credit card entry will pop up. You have to manually copy and paste all the information, and do this while you’re standing there in the hot sun on the side of the road.

App has reliability issues

Currently can’t log into the app, breaks every once in awhile.

Doesn’t work

Try changing an expired credit card . Won’t work

kill this app

yeah bro make me create an account, put my location, put my license plate and card information and all that other bs

Worst parking app I’ve ever used

Tried using on iPhone, will not save payment method. Tried logging out, back in and it deleted saved vehicles. Logged in on website, tried to use support chat, “not available at this time.” Had to walk back to vehicle to pay at the meter. Will never use again.

Terrible parking experience

Will not link to Apple Pay, requires credit card input, which is frustrating while standing on the street. Requests camera access to scan QR code for parking location, but that fails.
Multiple people had the same issue while parking. Wasted 10min to deal with paying for parking.

Trash, doesn’t work

Every available meter is unavailable

App needs work

The map is pretty inaccurate on a lot of spots and the app crashes a lot.

Charged for parking AND a parking ticket. Don’t trust

Paid for parking, got a success message for the session. Credit card payment went through, but the session wasn’t applied so I came back to a parking ticket. They refuse to assist or provide a refund at least for the parking fee. Beware when using!

Hot garbage

Quite possibly the worst vibe coded garbage app on the App Store. Can’t sign in, can’t reset the password. I have 4 accounts tied for 4 phone numbers and email addresses because these fools can’t figure out how to do the most basic authentication. Then they have the audacity to charge a convenience fee. Trash company delivered a trash app.

Never able to open

I can rarely open and use this app! What’s the point in offering a service if you can’t offer the service??

Inconvenience at its best

All around ridiculous. Service fee to park. Need email/phone number/a whole bunch of other nonsense before you’re allowed to pay. No parking renewal. Surprised it didn’t ask for a tip.

App doesn’t even work. You will still get citations!

No good. Don’t trust this app. Will still get citations. GPS is all over the place. Zones don’t properly load. Can’t even report the bugs. No one’s watching over this app. No accountability

The app does not work

You can’t log in. You can’t change your password. You can’t pay for parking. Sometimes it won’t even load

Sometimes it works

Sometimes it works… junk

App doesn’t work

Unable to pay via the app, got a ticket. This app sucks.

Miserable app

Useless, incorrect on availability. Has no hours listed for zones

This app sucks

There is NO option to delete this app
