The previous version worked better. This one logs you out whenever your phone sleeps, forcing constant logins. It’s mind-blowing that a parking app needs this level of security.

Straightforward, simple, and easy to use

This app just as parking in Portland. As long as you remember your pin, you can login easily. It stores multiple cars. The best part is it has a meow sound notification when your time is almost up. Love it.
