Truly infantile

This app is useless after your credit card number changes. You can’t get back into your account with a new card. So stupid.

Easy to use

I appreciate how easy it is to use. I would like to be able to pay for more than one car at a time on here & store more than one payment method at a time but overall it’s simple & works well.

👍🏽

Easy to use. They send an alert before your time is over, so you don’t have to worry about.

If only it worked

To start, the App has awful UI and questionable design. It forces you to load $20 to sign up. Then only allows $20 minimum loads going forward. Maybe that works for residents, but visiting means you’ll give them free money if you don’t spend it all. And what makes it worse is the app barely works. It eventually signed me out and then refused to let me use my pin telling me it was incorrect. I reset the pin- that one is Incorrect. I reset it again. That one is still incorrect. So now I can’t park with ease and they got to charge me $20 I can’t use. Great business plan.

Dumbest, most outdated app

This app works ~fine~ if you’re already logged in.

The minute it logged me out, I was fully unable to use the app, reset my pin, or update my credit card. It’s currently requiring me to verify credit card information from a credit card that expired 5 years ago.

The app lacks a menu option to do anything other than what is currently displayed on the screen, so I’m permanently stuck on an unusable identity verification page. If I want to exit and try again, I have to delete the whole app, which is why I’m here writing a one star review!

It would be great if the developers could please make it easier for me to fork over my money for overpriced parking fees that are going to a hedge fund in UAE. Think you could do that????

App resets and won’t work

This app will reset from time to time and then won’t let me use the app. I have to delete it for a certain amount of time then redownload it

App sucks

I keep having to reset and put a pin just for the app to say it’s wrong 💀

Worst End User App

Terrible App

Only able to use a wallet ???

why the hell do i have to preload $20 at a time…should be illegal

Glitchy

Bugs need to be fixed asap. Keep getting locked out and stuck in a “Reset PIN” loop. Total scam and unreliable.

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

Easy

Makes paying for parking convenient.

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.
