Ratings and reviews

The app won't let me register. I can't get past the final screen to accept the privacy policy check box and submit. It keeps taking me back to the same submittal screen. And now it says my email is already taken. I tried to sign in but nothing happens either. Based on other reviews of the app, just stay away. Sounds like you need to add extra money in the app that you would have to ask for a refund anyways so may as well just overpay at a kiosk to make sure you don't get a ticket. POS app.

simple and decent app. no way to pay for parking directly but you have to charge your in-app wallet. at the end of the trip I called customer support # and got a refund of the balance in less than a minute. One major UI issue: looks like there's a "hamburger menu" but it is placed to high on Android 16, so it's not clickable...

I don't think I've had a worse parking app experience than this. They're all pretty bad, but Hotspot seems like it was intentionally designed to be as hostile as possible. Oregon City needs to switch immediately. I've never before been required to keep a balance (minimum $10) just to pay 70¢ to park. On top of that, you can't have more than one active session, so I can't pay for parking more than one of my cars at once! Completely outrageous.
