Lousy App

This is a lousy app. I used it to pay for parking that is next to a laundromat. The laundromat has the tap to pay or use your credit card for the washers and dryers. WOW! I left to pay for parking when I had 24 minutes on the washer. I wakes back in with 3 minutes on the washer. The app is glitchy, doesn’t push to the next screen easily and is confusing AF. Come on developers. Do a better job!! If a laundromat can make it easy, you should too. Deleting the app once my wash is dry. 👎🏻👎🏻

HORRIBLE app

This is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. It’s so poorly done at all levels that I don’t even know where to start. Authentication is horrible, managing cars is pretty bad, setting payment method takes you to the settings app… And the actual paying for parking wasn’t easy at all the last time I tried.

I honestly don’t understand the people that give this app good ratings. They’re either paid reviews, or these people have never used an app in their lives, so they can’t compare with anything else.

$7 for parking is ridiculous

Never would I think I’d be paying $7 to park everyday to go to work😔

No Option for One Day

Specifically whoever invented this— whoever’s mother created this app— I hope something bad happens to their mother specifically.
