Bugged out

Doesn’t even load pass sign in

Looks so dated, no modern features

This app hasn’t been touched in ages. Screen scaling is from years ago, there are no live activities to see when your parking will expire on your Home Screen. And, you have to refill your account in $10 increments starting at $20 instead of paying directly for the parking spot itself ($2?). Could use some love, someone? Please? At least I can use it to park..! Hopeful for updates soon.

Terrible Experience

App now signs you out between uses, therefore no longer allowing you to get a notification that you have 10 minutes left. Trying to increase the amount of tickets being issued.

Way too expensive

Why is min load $20?? That’s not accessible for everyone nor is it necessary. Greedy price.
