Dead app

App now opens to a blank screen, and reinstalling does not help. App appears to be abandoned.

Awful

They tell you where to park to go to events but neglect to tell you that all those lots are prepaid only. Useless

Poor communication $6 prepay then $14 more to exit

App said event parking $6 ...
We prepaid upon arrival then went to pirates game and had to pay an additional $14 - this should b clearly stated at garage when PRE pay was made.

Wrong

Downloaded the app yesterday as I was going to the Arts Festival. App told me there were 109 spaces at 6th and Penn. no, it was full. Same thing happened at the next garage. What a waste of time, sitting in traffic. I ended up at Forbes garage, (old Kaufman’s), got there on my own. The app is a waste of space on my phone, time to delete.

Terrible app that doesn’t work

This used to work but now doesn’t. They should just shut it down. The front screen info vs. the specific garage you choose for more details isn’t even close with accuracy! So the whole purpose of the app now can’t be trusted. Bring back the old app!

Love this app

I'm not intimately familiar with downtown Pittsburgh, this app really helps me to find the best (open) parking.

Park downtown garages would be a better name

Open lots, not included. Southside not included. Oakland, not. Shadyside, not. Northside, limited. No information on heights (for wheelchair vans). Also, how often is it refreshed? Seems not to be very current.

3 yrs later, no different.

What happened?

This app used to be awesome, I checked it every morning. It's completely broken now, the zoom doesn't work, none of the interface buttons work, you can't view a list of garages, even the contact info on the website is broken. I'm all about giving interns a go at something but it's like no one even tested the update before it was released. Please bring back the old app! Or at least something that works!

No one wants a list view

Go back to making the default view as the Map. Don't mind they added a list view. But most people want to zoom in on their location on the map first

Virtually useless

This was my go to app for parking in Pittsburgh. With the new update, it is useless. You can't get a list of the garages, only a map view or choose a destination. When opening, it gives a message that the app needs updating or it will slow your phone down.

Would have given 0 stars if that were an option.

It was great till the most recent IOS update

This app was fantastic until I recently updated to the most recent iPhone iOS. I now get a message every time I open it saying that "this app may slow down your phone, developer needs to update app to prevent issues with new iOS". It now runs slow and functionality is about half of what it was. Developers please fix!!!

Ditto to the most recent reviews.

Ditto to the most recent reviews. Use to be wonderful, now crap.

Update is awful

Before the update, this app was OK. This new update is absolutely terrible. Everything the others are saying about the terrible new update is true. If money was paid for this app update to be developed, the money should be returned and a new app developer should be assigned ASAP. This app is not usable.

Terrible Update

I used this everyday and loved it but now the list view doesn't work, the map view is horrible to navigate, and some of the garage locations on the map view aren't accurate. Very disappointed and needs fixed!!

What happened?

This app used to be helpful, and I hope whatever these glitches are with this recent upgrade will be ironed out and it will be again. At the moment, none of the menu options work. All you can do is zoom in on a specific garage to select it and check its capacity (which given the tiny size of the viewing window is not only aggravating and inefficient, but rather "clunky" looking.)

Recent upgrade makes the app impractical

This app used to be decent, and I had almost no issues with it - then they updated it. Now, it's crap and useless unless you want to manually zoom in on the map and know which garage you want. The menus to select a garage by name, or even by neighborhood no longer work - you cannot select any of the options.

I cannot account for accuracy because I had to resort to old methods of try and hope there's a space today.

Data update is too slow and inconsistent

I'm giving this app 1-star due to its uselessness. The app is never up to date and the data refresh is not fast enough to meet market needs. Moreover, they need to redesign the UX to make this more accommodating and easier to use.

Very nice app!

Reliable and accurate.

Useless

The screenshots are obsolete, the new app just opens the website. Map is very small and no way to collapse the headers at top (you can scroll down on the page by dragging the headers up, but that's really hard to figure out). No support. Disappointing.

Crashes a lot

Crashes or when you touch a garage to get more information you just get a generic error. Worked fine yesterday but not today. Also there is no way to refresh the data or any information on how often it's updated.
