### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-07-14, version 2.4*

Saved me a ton on parking tickets

### 1/5 — Didn’t work yesterday

*2026-06-01*

I’ve had this app for years but for some reason it did not work this morning. I did not get the 12 hour, 1 hour or 15 minute notification. I just checked and my notifications are enabled.

**Developer response:** I’m really sorry this happened, especially after you’ve used SweepAlarm for years. The reminders should be reliable, and I want to fix whatever went wrong here.
Please reach out to info@sweepalarm.com with your iPhone/iOS version and the alarm details so I can investigate. A missed notification breaks trust, and I take that seriously.

### 5/5 — Most Useful App!

*2026-05-30*

Been using this app for years. Love the simplicity - everything you need in a parking app and no unnecessary clutter. 
It’s perfect for when you forget to check or just want to double check the sign where you parked without having to walk back to your car. 
I like that I can also easily check restrictions on nearby streets when I’m figuring out where I can move during street cleaning.

### 5/5 — Useful for reminders and coordinating with my wife

*2026-05-12*

Great app

**Developer response:** Hi Justin, this feature is available in the latest release.

### 5/5 — Use it every day

*2026-03-26*

Amazing, good stuff

### 4/5 — Awesome but can only set for one car

*2026-02-25*

Solves so many problems!
If you could add multiple parking location alarms that would make it perfect. 

Love the parking sign graphic!

### 5/5 — Does one thing well

*2025-11-06*

Great app, only wish that when I move my car and change the location, it didn’t pop up an alert with ‘are you sure’ and just let me set the new location

### 5/5 — Saved me so much stress and money!

*2025-08-06*

I have been using this iPhone app for 3 years, since I moved here and I cannot thank this app enough. It has saved me from so many tickets and also is nice to remember where I parked my car. It eliminates so much stress since I don’t need to worry about reading street signs and calendars to try to figure out when street sweeping is. The UI is also cute, how they put the date and time of the sweeping in a box that looks like a street sign. It’s also useful to use to figure where I park my car before I park it by moving the location around to see what day of the week and street will allow me to park the longest. Download this app!!!

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2025-05-26, version 1.2*

Only thing we need is for the app to be updated for latest versions of Android as well!

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2025-01-26*

This app is amazing and a public service thank you to the creators!!!! It is a lifesaver since you can check any street schedule at any time and choose before you have to park. And ofc the notification feature is amazing. It is also well designed and doesn’t have adds. 

And no offense if you’re writing a bad review bc you got a ticket then that’s your fault; you should still do a quick double check of the sign bc city data may have errors; it’s a well made and free app so be grateful
