Love it

This app is really easy to understand. I like the count down and reminder texts. I wish my city would adopt this.

Better than the green machine!

I was not aware of the app and so glad I downloaded it and began using it. Easy and literally no brainer!

Charges a flat fee regardless of duration

In every other city they don’t charge a flat fee. Gross practice charging the same $.65 on a 15 minute or 2 hour stay

Meow

The app meows when you’re running out of meter time!

Screw PBOT

Anti-small business, anti-working class, unable to use tax payer funds and fees to maintain the infrastructure they are tasked with taking care of…. I could go on.

Update & lose more privacy

Have used for years & just updated to v1.4.2 in July 2026. (Apparently update is 9 mo’s old.) Never really needed update and never had to provide phone number - until now!! WHY?! They already have my CC# stored! Your app doesn’t need my number to function! So why?!? Will downgrade app!!

Apple Pay!!!

I lost my debit card and have to wait for another in the mail. Please make Apple Pay an option instead of entering in card info manually!!!

Hopeless for overseas visitors

I think it’s a scam to get parking fines from overseas tourists. It just won’t take a UK mobile

Super easy

Very practical way to pay for parking!

Convenient!

Mobile app payment for parking is very convenient. Uses Passport Parking app info, so if you’ve used that before, this app will show your saved car info. NOTE: if you are using a rental car, be sure to add that car’s details into the app!

Ok but why does it not actually give the full time you paid for?

Pay for 30 minutes of parking and the app will start counting down from like 27. I don't have location sharing on with the app, so it's not a case of "i was already parked 3 minutes and the app knows it". Sketchy.

Gets the job done

A no frills app that does what it's supposed to do, sponsored by the city

🙂

Todo bien

Very helpful

This app is pretty cool. Takes the leg work,literally, out of it. You have your vehicles saved, payment options saved, just type in the zone if it isn’t already saved and you’re done. No need to walk to the meter put in change or swipe your card it’s all done in the app.

Terrible app

Worst parking app! Buggy and hard to use. Ratings are completely inflated because they only give you a button to rate 5 stars or not at all.

So Easy

I live downtown and so the fact that I can just wake up and put money on my car or from wherever I’m at is fantastic.

Kitty Good

City of Portland is crazy when it comes to parking. Parking Kitty works well

Very convenient

So convenient. No more messing with the parking meter

Good app, with one exception

I love being able to pay parking by app. I just noticed that it’s not possible to correct or update payment or vehicle info from launch. It would be great to be able to access the main menu after logging in. As of now, I’m automatically logged in and taken to the zone selection screen.

Good and

Appreciate the ease of this app…only recommendation is to have zone location.
