Provided no actual reservation number and garage would not allow admittance as they do not work with this service. Breathtakingly brazen ripoff. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-01-08, version 4.1.21* We booked a spot at a SF Rincon garage for $30. We arrived on time and were told it was no good. Had to pay again. Couldn’t get a refund. Appears to be just a scam. Avoid. ### 1/5 — The worst parking app *2026-01-06, version 4.1.21* This is the worst parking app I have used. The instructions make no sense. It’s pretty much impossible to change a booking, so triple check all the details to make sure they are correct. I would be fine paying double if I could book the same parking spot with the correct details, but even that doesn’t work. It is also full of bugs, resets every month and crashes. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever!!!! *2026-01-06, version 4.1.21* Park Chirp is awful!!!! ### 1/5 — Not Usable *2026-01-02, version 4.1.21* This app is not usable at all. The fundamental search parking function fails to return any garage at all. A parking app that cannot book parking. ### 1/5 — Would give zero stars if I could *2025-12-23, version 4.1.21* This is the worst app I have ever used. It never works properly and glitches right when you need to scan it. And don’t even bother trying to get receipts. I hope whoever manages it is cursed. ### 1/5 — Payment processing doesn’t work *2025-11-08, version 4.1.21* How can I park if I can’t pay? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-23, version 4.1.21* I’ve been using this app for nearly 2 years and it just hasn’t been working anymore. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-26, version 4.1.21* I’ve been trying to book parking for the hotel I’m staying at (they provide a discount for a pre-paid parking pass) and it just won’t go through. Spinning circle every time I have tried to enter my credit card information or confirm booking. Super frustrating and feels like a scam. ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2025-08-12, version 4.1.21* tried to find parking and it just doesn’t work, app is broken would give 0 stars if I could ### 1/5 — Hands Down Worst Parking App *2025-08-05, version 4.1.21* Forced to have this app since my work’s parking is through a garage utilizing this app. The UI is absolutely garbage and app barely works. ### 1/5 — No updates… no prices *2025-06-14, version 4.1.21* Will not update prices or show any local pricing. ### 1/5 — App is a scam *2025-06-09, version 4.1.21* Paid $20 in advance to park in a lot that I found out when I arrived only costs $16 for a day. Instead of a scannable bar code, the app emails me a 20 digit redemption number that the attendant couldn’t use. I showed the attendant my receipt and he let me out but told me not to bother with the app in the future. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-05-31, version 4.1.21* Does not work anymore as of may 2025 ### 1/5 — Worst App of All Time *2025-05-20, version 4.1.21* Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Changes price at last second *2025-05-13, version 4.1.21* This app is absolute trash. Was given the price of $11.95, then just as I hit the option to buy it switched to $19.95. Couldn’t get refund. Stay away! ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-04-05, version 4.1.21* Confusing process that leaves you double paying. Forget this app and just pay on the go. No real instructions or support. How is this even allowed? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You can’t get back in the garage *2026-08-01, version 4.1.21* We parked in Hoboken,NJ - once you leave the garage you can’t get back in. We had to go find a live person - they had to let us in to get our car, then we had to go back and repark - the machine didn’t recognize we had prepaid so we had to go back to the attendant to let us out - awful app - will never use again ! ### 1/5 — Fraud! *2026-07-14, version 4.1.21* This app is fraudulent and needs to be taken down. You pay for parking but you can’t actually use the ticket. I called and email to get a refund but no response. Stop deceiving people! ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-06-30, version 4.1.21* Immediately and continuously pops up errors. Deleted after 2 minutes. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-06-24, version 4.1.21* Nothing on here works. Never downloading again. Hilariously bad app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work lately *2026-05-23, version 4.1.21* I keep on getting “internal server error” when I try to complete a booking. Tried different accounts. ### 1/5 — Avoid this! *2026-04-15, version 4.1.21* Horrible app! Glitchy. Constant errors. Avoid! Charleston, SC needs to get a new parking app ASAP! ### 1/5 — Clunky Garbage App *2026-04-10, version 4.1.21* The title says it all. ### 1/5 — Freezes *2026-04-01, version 4.1.21* It opens just fine but then it freezes anytime you press anything. It literally doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — An absolute scam *2026-03-21, version 4.1.21* Prepaid for parking in a garage. Instructions in the app say to scan the pass on the app at a red box with a blinking light. We go to the garage- this device doesn’t exist. We had to repay for parking at the garage. The instructions on how to get a refund were unusable- they direct you to click on a tab in the app that doesn’t exist. Customer service doesn’t respond to you. DO NOT USE THIS APP. It will eat your money. ### 1/5 — Worst App and Customer Service *2026-03-16, version 4.1.21* DO NOT USE PARKCHIRP! The worst customer service. I paid for parking and when I arrived at the parking garage it was closed for maintenance. I’ve asked via email multiple times for a refund and no answer. Horrible app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helpful! Just scan QR code *2026-04-10, version 4.1.21* I’m not sure why this app has so many negative reviews… I’ve used this for the past couple years whenever I go to SF, and it’s been super helpful! I pre-pay for specific times I want to be there (haven’t tried monthly or annual passes), and just need to scan my QR code at the parking entrance. It’s super simple, and I’ve never had to interact with anyone at any of the garages. Based on some of these reviews, I’m not sure if people understand how the app works… ### 5/5 — Downtown Chicago parking *2025-05-16, version 4.1.21* Works great for downtown parking. Have never had an issue. Typically a little cheaper than competitors for where I frequent. ### 5/5 — ParkChirp is Awesome! *2025-04-10, version 4.1.21* Booking online parking was really easy! Would definitely purchase parking on ParkChirp again. ### 5/5 — This is my go to app *2023-07-16, version 4.0.1* I am not sure why this app has 2.5 stars. It’s a 5/5 for me. I always use this app and it has never disappointed. I have not experienced any bugs. I live in Chicago and i use this app when I am trying to park in the downtown area. My options are paid street parking or use ParkChirp to find a lower price. 95% of the time, I will find a lower price in ParkChirp ### 5/5 — Cheaper and Easy Parking *2022-11-22, version 4.0.1* I wish I found out about this app years ago. ParkChirp is consistently cheaper than the other Parking apps. I use it everyday to find the cheapest parking near my work. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2020-09-22, version 2.14* The customer service is great, and this app has helped me save hundreds of dollars on parking in Chicago. Huge fan! ### 5/5 — Always the best *2020-09-16, version 2.14* This platform is always the cheapest option and their customer service is top notch. I will continue referring friends and family to ParkChirp! ### 5/5 — Awesome App!!! *2020-09-10, version 2.14* Really easy app to use and I saved $5 a day vs using Spothero at the garage I usually park at. Highly recommend based on my personal experience. Great app. ### 5/5 — Life-Saving *2020-07-01, version 2.1* This app really helped me out when I was in a pickle! Need to drop the kiddos off and do some shopping in lakeview and it was a life saving to just find a spot at the touch of a finger. Highly recommend this app goes above and beyond and super user-friendly!!! ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2020-07-01, version 2.1* ParkChirp makes it so easy to find parking in the city, whenever I need to find a garage it takes seconds and the rates are cheap! One time there was an issue scanning into a garage and their customer support line helped me sort everything out in a reasonable amount of time! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
