I’m talking >6 months outdated if not many years outdated. I love the interface of the app, so I wish this wasn’t the case! Please update. ### 3/5 — Bug makes it impossible to input payment info *2026-03-28, version 12.3.4* Good affordable parking options but I don’t know how to pay for it at the moment lol ### 3/5 — Good app but outdated *2025-10-30, version 12.3.4* It’s a good app. I used to use it a lot. But with constant rule change in San Francisco, this app is not keeping up. Just now Lombard and Fillmore, app says tow away at 4pm, but I searched the whole street, there is no sign for that, just a sign for 6-8am Tues and Thur street cleaning. There are other times I have used it too but signs have changed in other parts of the city. I still use it to get a general idea of parking around the area I’m going to. But sometimes Google maps street view is better since they update the maps a lot more often ### 1/5 — No vendor management *2025-10-09, version 12.3.4* Used the app once. The parking garage refused to return my car unless I paid additional fees on top of app. Reached out for support and they never got back about the issue. Just a bunch of AI nonsense replies telling me to cancel the reservation. ### 1/5 — Can’t even open after signing up *2025-10-03, version 12.3.4* Message says to “open in mobile device” on my mobile device. ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2025-09-16, version 12.3.4* Pretty accurate app ### 1/5 — Bad experience *2025-08-31, version 12.3.4* I had to sign up for another third party service in order to get my confirmation. Couldn’t find the lot from the directions given and no help from customer service. Was NOT a good price for parking and I asked for money back. Hope I get it. Will NEVER use again. ### 1/5 — They charged my credit card without free trial *2025-08-13, version 12.3.4* It’s been a stressful time I signed up for one week free trial and immediately my credit card was charged I don’t even know about the app and fits worth the money the sell it for $34.99 still waiting to hear back from the help desk and apple. Not how I want to spend time . Is it a trick and they hope people don’t take notice of being charged without their promise? And the app does not show I am plus customer even though they charged me it asks me to join plus for $34.99 ### 1/5 — Scammy Billing — Avoid This App *2025-07-31, version 12.3.4* Canceled the free trial the same day, and they still charged me for a full year. No warning, no confirmation—just shady and dishonest. Don’t trust this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — listings are highly innacurate *2026-08-25, version 12.3.4* i went to 8 different spots on this app listed as free parking spots and not a single one was accurate in the slightest, would not reccomend whatsoever at least in cincinnati ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2026-07-09, version 12.3.4* Seemingly very accurate about somethings and so wrong about lots of others, not the th kinda of consistency you want when parking restrictions fees and fines are expensive. ### 1/5 — Unhelpful app *2026-06-26, version 12.3.4* No spots in good price Spot Hell is better ### 1/5 — useless *2026-05-19, version 12.3.4* The filters don’t work and the UX is terrible. ### 1/5 — Multiple parking tickets *2026-05-12, version 12.3.4* This app claims to help you avoid parking tickets by sending alerts based on street-parking schedules. I’ve used it diligently, and it always thanks me for sending so many great parking photos. However I still repeatedly have gotten parking tickets because its alerts are unreliable. Really annoying. I’m done with it. ### 1/5 — Spying? *2026-04-30, version 12.3.4* With Bluetooth fully turned off in the app, spotangel detected my car via Bluetooth and attempted to pair. It’s acting like spyware on your phone. ——————- Developer says it’s not possible, and that is definitely what happened on my phone. They suggest emailing their support, which I did and they went radio silent. Avoid this spyware. ### 1/5 — Street Cleaning *2026-04-02, version 12.3.4* No clear way to check what day street cleaning is on. ### 1/5 — Forced sign in forced everything *2026-01-07, version 12.3.4* This app is stupid forces you to sign in 1 million prompts before you can get to the app ask for everything on your phone all your information and the free parking isn't free it's misleading and this app is dumb ### 1/5 — Stop working *2025-11-18, version 12.3.4* It’s doesn’t work anymore ### 1/5 — Not reliable, got my first ticket *2025-10-16* I got my first parking ticket because I used this app to find out if where i had parked was ok. There was a picture on the app of the sign on the street, but it was incorrect time by 4 hours. Cost me 97$! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2026-08-03, version 12.3.4* Great for scouting out a location for potential street parking. Not always up to date since it’s crowd sourced. But still super helpful for cities. ### 5/5 — Just great *2026-08-02, version 12.3.4* Just great ### 5/5 — Very useful *2026-07-05, version 12.3.4* For a free app, it has saved me lots of hassle of staring at street signs and holding up traffic. Or even researching on google maps! Of the 15-20 times I’ve used it in NYC and boston, it has not led me astray (and if i misremembered, well, there probably wasn’t any parking anyways). You should always double check anyways. ### 5/5 — Veru usefull app *2026-05-27* So Usefull ### 5/5 — NYC Life Saver *2026-04-06, version 12.3.4* I don’t think people understand how to use this app…it tells you where and when you can park throughout the city. It’s incredibly helpful and detailed. You pay for parking through Park NYC app. Not here…I’m considering trying the upgraded version but not seeing a lot of reviews for it. If I do the trial, I’ll come back and report! ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2025-11-28, version 12.3.4* Although it’s not 100% always accurate, spot angels has helped me get parking and to plan my visits. Thanks for all the avoided parking tickets! ### 5/5 — Great for finding parking rules *2025-11-26, version 12.3.4* They mapped out all of the parking rules. You can you see what’s no cost. Great app ### 5/5 — 5/5 — really helps! *2025-11-12, version 12.3.4* Thank you so much for making this, it’s super helpful! ### 5/5 — Perfeito! *2025-11-06* Me ajuda sempre que vou em Nova York. Recomendo! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-10-24, version 12.3.4* This app is amazing and deserves a definite 5 star --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
