Min reload $20

Scummy app that only lets you reload a minimum of $20 and sets minimum parking times to 30 minutes and convenience fees. Crooks.

Great app

erroneous zone rules

the fact that the meters aren't owned and controlled by the city has caused so much insane chaos when it comes to zone rules.

even when the app says there is no payment required for certain zones at certain times, the meter enforcement are still trying to give tickets to cars without agreeing with what the app says.

either the app or the meter enforcement need to update their understanding of the zones and times parking is enforced and relay that to the rest of us...

Impossible Reset Pin Loop

Can no longer park in my city ‘cause this amp requires my old credit card info to reset my pin, but it’s interface only accepts expiration dates in the future, making it impossible to enter old card information. Brilliant. Jagoffs. Should’ve never sold our streets.

Awesome app

Really great at makes it very easy for me to park safely throughout the city
