Ratings and reviews

Zero stars doesn't exist. This app sucks. It reminds me of the days before speed dial and calling into the radio station trying to win a prize. You will fail. Always. The validation mechanics are 100% broken. Here's a concept. Let us opt in for Google Wallet already. You can't leave the app without it crashing, freezing, or just creating a frustrating digital loop of inefficiency. Oh wait. Is it supposed to feel like the old DMV? If that's the case, 5 stars.

Worst app ever! Trying to call them 12 pm - no "call morning hours only" - I guess there is a wait line for 5-8 hours. Tried to use their online chat - no response for hours. Doesn't load, I don't even know if it is frozen or if I am in line, nothing! "Close chat" button doesn't work... It looks like this app and their website was built by 3-years old kids

Love this app! So easy. It took less time to install the app, log in, and pay for my registration than I used to think about going, parking, waiting to be called, and paying for it. Seriously took me 5 mins on my phone!
