Horrible app

By far one of the worst app experiences you could ever have.

Bug at registration

It requires to confirm the mobile number, but at the same shows failure when choosing the country code

BEWARE!!!

Paid for a $15 parking spot for 2 hrs. I was then charged on my AmEx $43.60. I called the number on my AmEx bill and it is an automated line to help secure your next “park”. No thank you! I will be disputing this charge. So tired of businesses with no contact info so you can not dispute it with them directly. Credit card companies must be tired of their shenanigans! I sure am!

Transaction fee and annoying noises

Zero reason for the transaction fee, and no reason to pause my music just so visa can butt in with sound. Also no need for you require my phone number over an email.

Network error prevents refreshing country code for mobile phone registration

Absolutely awful, there is a constant network error which prevents you from being able to refresh the country code for mobile phone registration so you can't get past the first page.

Charging you even if you don’t park

Non-working app combined with non-answering pay by phone option and non-functioning pay boxes = an automatic payment fine of $45 or more. This company would prefer to offer non-payable methods to park so they can bill you for unpaid fees at an exorbitant rate. Highly unscrupulous company.

DOESNT WORK

The app doesn’t work, doesn’t accept payment methods that are stated it should be taking, like Amex cards, Discover, etc. it’s horrible for the user, f it

NOT PAY BY APP, Parkmobile

THIS IS PARK BY APP
NOT PARKMOBILE
NOT PAY BY APP
Use caution. The other reviewer said his payment didn’t work. I think they used the wrong app. Parkmobile says on their meters to use “Pay by app”
This loads Park by app as an option.
CHECK YOUR APP!!
Three stars for confusing naming (maybe not their fault)

DO NOT USE THIS

TRUST THE REVIEWS AND FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO PARK

App always crashes

This app always crashes. And now I cannot reset my pin. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling but it still doesn’t work. Unfortunately I park in a lot of areas that use this app so I am stuck paying at the parking machine.

Horrible all around

I really don’t know if it’s intentional or just extreme incompetence. The app never works, the parking lots are just camera monitored to make sure they get money, eventually the machines are required for you to actually issue a ticket, the screens are in horrible condition… if there was ever a complete failure to provide any descent customer service… mission accomplished.

Terrible prices

This parking cost way to much find better spot out here in Hollywood FL

Network error

I’m constantly getting a network error when I try to register my credit card. The lot machine doesn’t print receipts.

Trying for weeks. Still can’t get app to accept a credit card. Unusable.

Terrrible app

Wish I could give 0 stars. Doesn’t work.

Horrible App

We tried to park in one of their lots and repeatedly received an “Network Error” message or one that said “Card already exists. Please try another card.” and would not allow us to pay. Seems like a scam!

Terrible!

Totally bad!

Dr s

Complete scam parking lots. DO NOT PARK IN THEIR LOTS! They will fine you even a few minutes over unlike city parking lots which at the very least support the city… these a holes don’t support the city.

Scam

Our friend was with us from out of town and they went to the website mentioned to pay for parking and it convinced them to sign up for a subscription by accident

How does the city allow happening to tourists

Network server error equals pay my parking ticket

No response from IT support

Scam

App won’t let you pay by the hour or adjust exactly how much time you want to pay for - just in two or more hour increments and then charges an extra fee for extending. Complete scam
