Payment issues

This app rejects all my efforts to add a credit card.

Trash app

I sincerely wish that every piece of software used by the developers of this app works just as reliably as this abomination.

App glitch

Everytime i login to the app I have to verify my email address. So annoying, im trying to park

Terrible update

You guys recently implemented an update where you are now clustering the parking numbers, for example, in Back Bay when you zoom into the neighborhood, you see 87 possible parking meter numbers, prior to the change I’m not sure which version, you were able to zoom into the exact street that you are parked at and it would have the corresponding meter number on the side of the street that you were parking at, now you have removed that feature in substitution for clustering all of them, and hoping that the user would remember the meter number and input that meter number, else you would have to search up the exact street name carry a compass or look at the moon and sun to determine which orientation you parked north, east, south or west. Every other parking app that I’ve used has the feature that pinpoints the exact location in which the meter number correspondence to the side of the street. Why would you remove such a useful feature?
