Ratings and reviews

I love having the app, and the app works pretty well with a few major complaints. 1) The reminder that the parking is almost up is too short. I can't get to my car in 60 seconds. Please make this a variable the user can access. 2) More zone history would be really nice, and attach the zone description as a subheading to the zones in the history list.

Hey Portland- it's a bit of a scam that the parking kitty app has an option for 15 minute increments but charges for the whole hour instead of just the 15 or 30 minutes I want to add. I think, this being the 21st century, you can do better than that! While I have your attention... It's super great that you included the option to extend a parking session, and after you fix the $ issue I mentioned, it would be nice to have an option to extend by 15/30 minutes instead of a full hour. Thanks!!

As a bank teller sometimes I park in the morning and move my car during my lunch. I'm not always able to stop what I'm doing to update my parking in 2 hour increments. A max of 4 hour increments could work (even if it'll cost more). As you can imagine getting a ticket this way can be really frustrating and the appeal process is also annoying. Plus, if I have to swap my lunch with someone there's no option to cancel/refund/credit parking time. Easy to use, but needs these improvements.
