Total BS!

I don’t think I’ve seen a worse app in a very long time. The data isn’t there. There’s no legend. The options of park near me or park near destination don’t really work. I downloaded it to find street parking and it made me pay for the app - which I did, but the app is utterly useless. Save your money, don’t bother with this app!

Zero stars Not Worth It at All

I downloaded Parknav hoping it would help with finding street parking in Brooklyn and queens, but I couldn’t even test it out without immediately being forced to pay $4.99/month. That makes no sense how am I supposed to know if it’s even worth it? Something told me to check the reviews, and sure enough, a lot of people said it barely works in NYC and only covers certain parts of Manhattan. Total waste of time….

Worthless

Poor UI paired with unreliable parking data makes for a bad app

Looks like it can be useful but not sure - paywall to see anything

Just downloaded this app, but since there’s no preview or no trial, it’s hard for me to figure out how to use the app, or even how useful it is. In fact, I’m not even sure what functions are there since the first or second page is behind a paywall subscription. I’m sure it’s a great app but I can’t really tell.

Not working well in NYC

In NYC it just shows all streets as red. Didn’t help me find a spot much.

Great design, not enough coverage

I really like this app, it’s exactly what I was looking for (outlines streets in different colors based on parking availability just like google maps does with traffic). However, I was really disappointed in how little area it covers. Only the downtown areas of major cities (Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, etc...not even medium/smaller cities like St. Louis are covered)... not really practical for my daily use, which is what I was looking for.

300 cities as of July 2025, expanded coverage including all the top NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, DC, St Louis, Tampa, Anaheim, and many more with full coverage, some more with city center included with coverage in the app. Soon we will also add a coverage-explorer feature, to enable checking specific areas before you subscribe.

Improved user experience

I really like this new version of the Parknav app. It has a smooth fast "heat map" feature that updates as you move the map, and my favorite feature of "path to park" that also acts as a navigation of sorts.
Kudos for the improvements!

Small Area Covered

This only shows parking for the River North neighborhood of Chicago... not very helpful.

Used to also do Chicago neighborhoods, now only downtown Chicago

This app also used to alsoprovide parking routes for residential neighborhoods in Chicago, but searching for parking in a residential neighborhood now says, "Requested navigation location is outside our coverage area."

Clicking on "Chicago The nearest supported city" shows me that only about a ten block radius in downtown Chicago is supported now.

Access My Calendar

Why does this app need to access my calendar to help me find a parking spot? Uninstalled!

Actually does help

I live in an area where finding parking is a nightmare after 5-6pm. This app is a lifesaver. So far 100% of the time I've found spots on the green (and sometimes orange) blocks. Highly recommend this app!

Like a fortune teller

Love this app! I drive in to Manhattan every Sunday and always struggle looking for parking - since we usually stay just a couple of hours and the meters are off we're really into curbside spaces but they are so elusive... This app basically taught us where to look. Super accurate and all around awesome! Thanks Parknav!!

So useful and easy

Real Science!

I've tried other parking apps, but they gave me inaccurate and random results, which work no better than flipping a coin! But this app really works! Way better than other fake BS apps. Not to mention this app is so easy to use and load soooooo quickly! I believe this app have some real science behind. Keep up the good work!

Freakin' awesome!

All I can say is wow...At first I thought there was no way this would work, but it actually found me a spot. Try it!!!

Coverage Area

Even if this app is new, you would think they would cover the major cities first. How is Los Angeles outside of your coverage area? Uninstalled immediately. No use to me or anyone who lives in LA. Maybe even the whole state of California, but I can't say for sure because I didn't check.
