Doesn’t work

This app sucks. It’s the only app on my whole phone that has the full notification settings on. And I’ve never received a single notification. The city forces you to use this then never maintains or fixes it, they’re basically running a scam.

Garbage

App doesn’t work

Useless

You can check it every day and it’ll still be wrong. Got a $150 ticket for posting on my street but according to this app, I was fine to park there.

Street not plowed on given timeline. No update on app.

Know your zone

Unhelpful

The main purpose of this got for me is to find out when my street will be ploughed after a significant snowfall. This does nothing to help with that. It provides codes without a legend making them irrelevant and indecipherable and providing no ranking and no timeline in context to provide any assistance in getting your car out of the garage. A perfect example of when government makes an app. I’m sure they prioritized diversity over competence.

Horrible UI and user experience

It’s 2025, and the UI still seems to be from the last century. Was this developed by a child?

Doesn’t work

This app doesn’t work. Doesn’t show necessary information. Waste of download.

Would give 0 if there was an option

This app is horrible to use. The city wants to use this to let people know which streets they are clearing but half the time the app isn’t working and streets aren’t highlighted properly. Waste of tax payer money.

Doesn’t work

The app says to tap on streets for information, I am tapping and it does nothing. I have witnesses haha, please fix.

Useless

Entered address to determine Snow Zone - response was “ N/A “ .
Where do I get Snow Zone info for my address?

It's true what they say

The app doesn't actually help. Had it this year even though it wasn't a bad year for snow at all. Checked it on the nights it did snow pretty good and the days following. Says no bans in effect. But guess who found a ticket on his car the very next morning. Don't use this useless app it will absolutely get you a ticket. Probably working as intended knowing this corrupt city. They need a better system. It's like they want to make winter more miserable making us check the website 24/7 for 6 months of the year.

Difficult to use

App is designed poorly,
Not sure how the city of winnipeg expects anyone to figure out their zone with this mess.

App lags when trying to view the map, you’re not able to look up streets, has to be an address, doesnt provide information on when the next ban will come into effect or any previous bans, app harasses you with pop ups.

No support for if your car was towed.

I’m convinced the city designed this app to be difficult to use or they just can’t keep up with the times.

Snow app zone.

Brutal my nephew in preschool can do a better job. Typical trash Winnipeg. Another reason why we are called a garbage dump throughout the rest of Canada. Can’t keep defending stupidity.

Intentionally bad design

This app is a trap. You will get towed and ticketed if you try to follow the "guidelines" this app provides. Its glitchy, uninformative, terrible design. Intentionally misleading, don't trust it!

STUPID APP

Car got towed again. Not a useful app. Developers should not encourage ppl to download this piece of crap of an app that doesn’t even do its job. I refuse to pay a damn ticket for not getting notifications for snow removal. Also too the street i was parked on DOESN’T HAVE A DAMN SNOW ROUTE SIGN!!!

Typical lowest bidder coding

App has zero awareness of the device it is running on. Looks absolutely cartoonish running on an iPad. It also lacks the basic ability to change from portrait to landscape orientation 2022. That might have been acceptable in 2010 but the world has moved except for these developers.

Kind of a joke

The Google map has a watermark that says for development purposes only. Hope we didn’t pay too much for this “app”!

This App is a joke

If you want to be towed by all means use this useless App. It grabbed and entered the wrong address for my home, no where can I find to change it. Just like the rest of the reviews don’t waste space on your phone using this. Not impressed. To add every single thing I type for my nickname “is already taken” I put a 🦒for my name, you’re seriously trying to say something else also did this??? Yeah, okbie

Works like a charm.

Never had any problems whatsoever

Notification issues

We used this app to avoid towing and ticket as it says in the app but not a single notification I received for residential parking or clearing parking ban
