Won’t accept my card

I’ve tried multiple times to add my card and it won’t go through or something. It says verifying then goes back to input my card. When I pay at the terminal on the steet it works perfectly fine.

Resetting the PIN process needs improvement

When trying to reset the Pin - the app uses the last four digits of the card that was used last time (which can be long gone / expired). Need to add an option to add a new card otherwise the app locks you out for a duration of time - during which you get a ticket! Ouch - can’t believe this passed QA!! Perhaps Conveniently!

It’s a scam

It is a scam. Forced to pay $20 so I can park for $5.

Slow and won’t remember PIN

Beginning a couple weeks ago, the app suddenly stopped remembering my PIN to keep me logged in, despite toggling the option to stay logged in. At the same time, authentication and loading began taking several seconds. Deleting and reinstalling the app didn’t help. This needs fixed.

App has many flaws

App has many flaws. Doesn’t keep you logged in. You put your passcode in and repeatedly tells you it’s wrong, locks you out, and makes you create a new one. 0/10
