User reviews

Atrocious app

The information in the app contradicts itself in multiple places (e.g. “print and display this permit in vehicle dashboard” then not providing a file and the dc.gov website saying they no longer use printed permits and it’s all digital). Moreover, the app is glitchy, navigation and UX isn’t intuitive, and it’s exceptionally confusing. Overall, probably the worst app I’ve seen, which isn’t surprising because DDOT is the most incompetent government agency I’ve ever dealt with.

Horrible design

Is it possible to give negative stats? This is one of the worst apps ever designed. The login never saves, and if (if) you can get in, the system is designed to be as confusing as possible. Thanks DC!

It’s OK

It should always say that no printout is needed at the top. Went crazy trying to print something

Might possibly be

Might possibly be the single worst app ever to be made available for consumer use. Congratulations on getting almost every aspect of design completely wrong. This app fails to function even when you are able to successfully decode the absolutely bonkers and counterintuitive instructions. It must have taken real skill to build something so terrible, and whoever convinced DC to adopt it was a genius, or paid bribes to do so. Amazing to think such horrible software still has a place in the market. Well done! You give hope to the incompetent.

Zero stars. App is trash (Aug 2025)

What the actual f is this app? The ParkDC website is decent and works pretty well on your phone. This app is like a draft version that the intern made in a day and no one finished. I wish I could post screenshots to show how bad it is. The buttons/options are like file names, like “HOMEPAGE.SCHEDULEVISITORVPAGE.TITLE” and not intuitive once you’ve selected the kind of parking permit you are trying to get.

Zero stars. Waste of an app.
