### 1/5 — This app should not exist

*2025-08-02, version 0.4.6*

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

### 1/5 — card change on file

*2025-06-16, version 0.4.6*

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

### 1/5 — .

*2023-11-27, version 0.4.1*

App is trash just like the city. At least fix the app so it doesn’t crash

### 1/5 — Not good

*2023-11-16, version 0.4.1*

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 .

### 1/5 — Parking availability not accurate at all

*2023-07-18, version 0.4.1*

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.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t open

*2023-04-05, version 0.4.1*

App isn’t opening anymore

### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve ever used

*2023-03-29, version 0.4.1*

Cannot “sign in” after I’ve already made an account. Can’t pay for parking at the right meter. Just pay the meter, worst app ever.

### 1/5 — need an update iphone 14 pro

*2022-12-08, version 0.4.0*

need an update iphone 14 pro

### 1/5 — Parking Availability doesn’t work

*2022-01-23, version 0.3.0*

The app is kind of useless without this feature, other than being able to find meters (which is never really difficult). Availability view for Higher, Moderate, Lower, just shows nothing on the view.

### 1/5 — Incredibly unintuitive and buggy

*2021-10-28, version 0.3.0*

Barely usable. Most of the buttons don’t actually do anything most of the time (e.g. zoom to meter view).
