What's New in Sign Buddy
1.1
August 11, 2026
New: live parking map overlay. Streets are now color-coded right on the map (red for no parking, orange for street sweeping, purple for permit zones, yellow for time-limited/metered spots, and green when it's open). Tap any street for the full restriction schedule. New: Plan Ahead. Pick a future day and time to see what parking will look like then, not just right now. Great for checking "can I park here Tuesday at 8pm?" before you leave. New: color legend on the map explaining what each color means, with quick access to Plan Ahead. Search now offers a one-tap way to plan your arrival time near the address you searched. The "Show parking overlay" setting is now live and actually toggles the map overlay on/off. Premium dropped to $1.99/month. Various map polish and bug fixes.
