## What is Parkarr?

Ever spend hours circling the block looking for that perfect parking spot? Parkarr is a crowd-sourced parking app that connects drivers looking for street-parking with those leaving their parking spots. You can search for available spots in your area or another neighborhood of your choice.  

Parkarr works on a point system.  Gain 1 point when you Host a Spot and lose 1 point when you Find a Spot.  All Parkarr users start out with 10 points.   We also have GPS tracking so you can see when the other Parkarr is on their way and their Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). If you are running late, we have a late request feature.  Download Parkarr today to save time, gas and limit your parking search frustration.

Happy Parking!

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

- Crowd-sourced parking spot discovery
- Search for parking in chosen areas
- Real-time GPS tracking of spot providers
- Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for spot providers

### 5/5 — Amazing idea for city drivers!

*2017-11-07, version 1.65*

This app is perfect for city drivers. It can be so frustrating and time consuming to find a spot on the street. This app helps me find spots and save me time and money on gas. Can't wait for more drivers to join so it will open up more spots!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!

*2017-06-19, version 1.62*

Parkarr has totally improved my NYC parking experience! By hosting their parking spaces, members of the Parkarr community make it easier to find free parking all over the city. Every New Yorker with a car should get this app. I host my space every time I move my car!

### 1/5 — Don't waits your time this app is a piece of junk

*2017-05-02, version 1.61*

Piece of Junk you can never find the spot

### 2/5 — Love the function, Hate the name

*2017-04-22, version 1.61*

I first heard of this app at the end of a "How I Built This" Podcast and the idea seemed really practical. The host said "check out this app" followed by the name. It took me 15 minutes to find this app on the AppStore, because I was searching every iteration of "Parked Car" and "ParCar" and "ParkCar" with no results. This was so frustrating that I was going to give up searching altogether, but made it my mission to find this app and leave it an honest review about its name. I had to go to "How I Built This" Facebook page and scroll down to find an older post about your app, where I finally saw the actual way to spell Parrkar. Terrible name, anyone else would have given up on finding this app when they first tried to search for its name and found nothing but car parking games in the app store. The only reason I continued with my search was to let you know how it affected me as a potential user of your app. Love the functionality, absolutely hate the name. It would be easier for a lot of people to find this app if you changed the name to a real word or a distinct and clear sound. Thanks for your time and good luck.
