Charging for your space on a public road sounds illegal and their thinly veiled “swap” gift is garbage. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for taking the time to review ParkSwap. We are growing day by day and maybe when you used the app there weren’t users leaving their parking spots. Our vision is that everyone uses ParkSwap to look for parking spots and when leaving their spots. We are working to make the app grow everyday. Thanks again for the review. ### 1/5 — TMI - Too much info for a free app *2021-10-06* The app needs specific car info and credit card info just to find a free spot. I can see the car make and model/color.. why plate? Do without credit card for a trial or PayPal. Otherwise just another place worry about my data. Fix it so I can try it.. thanks **Developer response:** Hi! We appreciate your honest feedback! We value it because only that way people and businesses can grow! We are working on simplifying the sign up process (payment method). All information you provide is safely stored. We ask for bank account to be able to receive the money gift when someone arrives at your spot. And card info to be able to send money gift when someone gives you their spot. Thank you again for your feedback! We are working on it. ### 1/5 — Need to sign up to use? No thanks! *2021-04-13* Why would I enter my address and personal info to you a parking app. Get outta here. DELETE. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. We are working everyday to make ParkSwap better. Your review and feedback really helps us improve. ### 1/5 — Needs an update *2021-01-03* A good concept, although I have seen it before. That doesn’t matter, but first there needs to be an option for 16 or at least 17 year olds because they have licences and cars too. Second a tutorial or instructions would be helpful, like how to earn money and how it all works. I will change my review when these things change. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time and for the feedback! We already worked on the issues you found. Please update the app and you will see the changes. Thank you again for the feedback and support! ### 1/5 — Don’t wast your time *2020-10-13* Not works at all **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for taking the time and using the app. We are growing everyday and our vision is that everyone that drives in big cities, has this app on their phone and uses it. We just launched and we are getting bigger and bigger. It won’t work if there are not drivers in your area. Contact us via email: “contact@parkswap.com” For more info. ### 2/5 — Sketched Out by Requested Financial Info *2021-04-21* This app could be so great, and I LOVE the concept. However, this app requests you put your credit card on file in order (to send gifts) and asks for your bank account info (so you can receive gifts). There is no way to do this via Venmo, PayPal, or ApplePay. Therefore, you are forced to trust that the developers of this app are keep your financial data safe from hackers and data breaches, and I have no reason to believe that they are able to do so. **Developer response:** Hi Julian! Thanks for the review. Every personal information you enter is kept safe. We actually work with Stripe to keep your bank information safe. We are working everyday to make the product the best one for you. Each review helps us improve. On the next update everyone would be able to use the app without putting their bank account information. If users want to be able to receive money, they’ll enter the bank account information to be able to receive it. ### 2/5 — Good concept, not going to give you my bank and card info *2021-04-21* Would be cool if I could use the app a few times as a proof of concept before I commit to giving my financial info to this random developer I know nothing about. Odds are I’ll never actually end up using the product and to be honest I don’t really know why I would ever send someone a gift for giving me a street parking spot. Just sounds like it adds more of a headache and complication to street parking in NYC. And it just seems like a flimsy excuse for the developer to get your financials. Also leaves me wondering how exactly this app is making money. If not selling your financials, I guess they sell your location data? **Developer response:** Hello and thanks for your review and feedback. On the next update everyone would be able to use the app without putting their bank account information. If users want to be able to receive money, they’ll enter the bank account information to be able to receive it. Actually there is a lot of people that would send money to find parking spots. ParkSwap (the developer) makes money from each transaction (%). We don’t sell your information nor give it to anyone. You could find it on our privacy policy. ### 3/5 — Weird *2021-01-06* It looks like a good concept, but I do not see why the app needs both my card information and my bank account information, seems a bit sketchy to me, and could be a reason lots of people won’t want to join. **Developer response:** We are more than glad you used ParkSwap. The app needs your bank account information for you to be able to receive the gift (money) others will send you when you provide them with your parking spot. The app also needs your card information for you to be able to send a gift (money) to others when they provide their parking spots to you. Thanks again for taking your time and writing a review. ### 5/5 — Very useful app👏 Recommended *2021-05-24* Life safer.
