Has misled me and others countless times ### 1/5 — Unhelpful, Confusing, and Not The Solution *2025-10-21* this app is not going to fix the severe lack of parking at Texas State University. It honestly is dangerous for commuter students to try and check this as they arrive to see where the best parking is. My first 2 semesters commuting I never had an issue finding parking, but the last year and a half after the other commuter garage was changed to be on campus living parking only and a record intake of freshman class students is when parking became impossible. It was a direct choice that put commuting students (who already have to park almost a mile from the main campus) at an unfair disadvantage for a school that has a hefty number of commuter students. Tx State offers a public transport system to on campus students so why not have first year students with free public transport forgo having on campus parking to allow the many commuting students access to more parking. This app also has a really awkward interface that makes it confusing to read in real time so it’s not very user-friendly + the information coming to students about what this app can do has been misinforming and contradictory as not all the things the emails have told us it can do are actually done through the app. Lastly, whoever is responding to these reviews: it is unfair of you to put it on the reviewers/students to get word out about this app that is not currently successful. Many commuting students don’t make many on campus connections so how would it be on them to inform their fellow texas state students about this app and if they did, they themselves have seemed to have negative experiences with both the app and the parking situation and the only remedy is fixing the parking on campus for commuters showing them that they are wanted on campus and you want them to prioritize their education and not worry about not being able to find a space to park. ### 1/5 — Car Location is Never Accurate *2025-10-06* Edit: I don’t constantly get “citation warning” notifications anymore but the app still never actually tracks where I parked my car. Why say you fixed something when the issue is still there? Edit 2: the citation warnings happen when I’m parked in the right area again **Developer response:** Hey Sabre, thanks for letting us know about this. We just released an app update that improves parking accuracy, so your parked car location should now be tracked more reliably. Please make sure you’re running the latest version of ParkTXST, and you should see an improvement. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue to refine the experience. ### 1/5 — Car Location is Never Accurate *2025-10-02* Edit: I don’t constantly get “citation warning” notifications anymore but the app still never actually tracks where I parked my car.

Many communing students don’t make many on campus connections so how would it be on them to inform their fellow texas state students about this app and if they did, they themselves have seemed to have negative experiences with both the app and the parking situation and the only remedy is fixing the parking on campus for commuters showing them that they are wanted on campus and you want them to prioritize their education and not worry about not being able to find a space to park. ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2025-09-19* Not live or recent information, which renders it pretty useless. Would be more useful as an app where you can get a permit without having to go to Parking Services. The only thing that will fix a severe lack of parking is creating more parking, or an actual live system! **Developer response:** Hello Ash, thanks for your feedback. ParkTXST is powered by the community of student parkers. When students download the app and use it with location permissions enabled, the data becomes more accurate and closer to real-time. The more students who participate, the more useful the system becomes for everyone on campus. We encourage you to share the app with fellow students so the experience continues to improve. We appreciate your input and are committed to making ParkTXST as helpful as possible. ### 1/5 — Car Location is Never Accurate *2025-09-17* The app thinks my car is always at my current location, no matter where I parked it, so I get a citation warning notification every day I’m on campus! **Developer response:** Hey Sabre, thanks for letting us know about this.

We appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue to refine the experience. ### 1/5 — Accuracy *2025-09-15* Its just not accurate. **Developer response:** Hi Dalt, thanks for sharing your concerns. ParkTXST’s accuracy depends on the community of students using it with location permissions enabled. If the information doesn’t feel precise, it often means not enough students in that area are actively using the app. Encouraging more students to download and use ParkTXST will make the system stronger and more reliable for everyone. We appreciate your feedback and are continually working to improve the experience. ### 1/5 — No up to date data *2025-09-03* It’s a useless app when all it shows is info from 5-12 hours before you’re searching for a parking spot. **Developer response:** Hi weightliftingrecorder, We are sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the app. We will double check the information and building names provided to us by TXST and adjust as necessary. If you notice any other spelling errors, please feel free to contact us at support@parkzenapp.com. If you're enjoying the app otherwise, let us know by updating your review! Thank you for using Park TXST! ### 1/5 — Spelling matters *2025-08-23* You can’t find parking lots if you input the correct building names because the developers misspelled them, for example, it’s Mitte, not Mittie. Otherwise, you have to go to the TXST website, find the parking map and then find out the lot number to put into the app. **Developer response:** Hi weightliftingrecorder, We are sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the app. We will double check the information and building names provided to us by TXST and adjust as necessary.
