Park Watch vs Spoturr

Discover stress-free parking with Park Watch, the ultimate community app designed for locals and commuters alike. Say goodbye to endless circling for parking and expensive garage fees of over $500 a month!   Why does it take hours to find parking? According to our research, there is 1 parking spot available for every 3 cars in New York City. Due to outdoor dining, city bike stations, and loading zones, the Department of Transportation eliminated 7,000 parking spots.   How do we fix this?   We match users based on their parking schedules to provide parking at their destination. Our first parking buddy match was a hospital worker who needed parking in the morning. She received a local resident’s parking spot and returned the same spot to them after her shift ended in the afternoon. Both users were grateful to save money, time, and have a parking buddy to increase the chances of finding free street parking. Park Watch automates this process for you. Simply download our app, start creating your user profile, and select your weekly schedule for parking needs. We will match you with parking buddies, whose parking schedule aligns with your parking needs. It is a one-stop application to navigate to your destination and find convenient, free on-street parking. Don’t have a consistent schedule? No worries, you can also use our app to navigate to your destination and see parking buddy suggestions as a pop-up banner notification message once you are close to your destination. Remember to enable notifications for the Park Watch app. Sharing is caring, so always remember to share your spot to increase your rank in our app and get prioritized parking. Park Watch also lets users rent driveways to earn money, directly message your parking buddy, and allows users to earn points to gain priority parking. Join our community and help spread the love by sharing your parking spots. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Spoturr is the parking app for New York City drivers who've wasted one too many laps circling the block. It answers one question — "Where can I park for free right now, and stay as long as I need?" — with a red/green grid laid over the map. Skip red, chase green. SEE FREE PARKING AT A GLANCE • Green curbs: free parking permitted. Red curbs: free parking restricted. • Covers 50,000+ blocks across all five boroughs. PARK ON YOUR TERMS • Set how long you'll stay, from 6 hours to a full week, and the grid turns red wherever a rule would catch you. • Remain-time markers show the longest you can stay on each block. • Holidays can stretch that to nearly two weeks. During an alternate side parking suspension, set your stay to a full week: the curbs still green are the ones the holiday frees up, and the markers show for how long. EVERY RULE ON THE BLOCK • Tap a block to see each posted rule, the stretches of curb it covers, and how long until it changes. • Open any rule's full weekly schedule. • Search for a block by street or intersection. DRIVE MODE: PROWL, DON'T PRAY • Mount your phone and drive. The map follows you and names the block you're on. • End the drive and Spoturr offers to mark where you parked. ALARMS • Set an alarm on a parking rule, like street cleaning, and get a push before it kicks in (time to move the car) or before it lifts (a spot is about to open up). • One-off or repeating, with an optional email. Snooze right from the notification. SHARE THE CAR • Mark where your vehicle is parked: at your current location, on the map, or by searching for a block. • Invite co-drivers with a link or QR code. Everyone sees where the car is and gets notified when someone moves it. • Vehicle alarms reach every co-driver, and the Activity feed shows who parked, moved, or joined. PINS & BOOKMARKS • Drop color-coded pins on spots worth remembering, and bookmark blocks with a note. Spoturr is built from the city's published parking-sign data. Signs change, so always check the posted sign before you walk away.
