This app should not exist

Why is this a separate app instead of built into the actual ParkChicago app?

card change on file

Won’t allow me to change my card on file so I actually haven’t been able to use the app in 3 years

Not good

I’ve read the comments from five years ago and the problems with app are still the same five years later . Wow. It crashes when you want to zoom in . It doesn’t work .

Parking availability not accurate at all

The parking availability is completely inaccurate. Looking at the availability near Adler and the Shedd, it always shows high availability but that area always has very little available parking.

The app is pointless without accuracy.

Also, why is this even a separate app? Why not build this functionality into the main payment app?

Good to know the privatization of Chicago parking is lazily implemented.
