Ratings and reviews

This is the worst parking app I have used so far. ParkHouston and PayByPhone are pretty intuitive to use and let you pay how much the spot costs with a small fee, and give you a map to see parking zone numbers in case you didn't get it off the kiosk or sign. This app makes you pay a minimum of $10 into a "wallet" and just lists nearby zones; hope you know them by memory! Also, the GPS is very inaccurate and thinks you are blocks away from your actual location. Hire some better developers!

This app does not work properly. Charged my wallet 3 times for the same session in one day. You can't prepay in the morning for parking if you arrive early. It also charges a fee to use the app. Edit 4/1/19 I have added another star. Customer service contacted me promptly after i sent them a message. They are processing a refund for the parking sessions. I am grateful for the quick response and resolution.

The app works well for what it does but you can't directly pay with a card. You have to add at least $20 to your "wallet" in the app and then pay with that. And if you don't have the code from the street you parked on your only option is to go back and get the code (which completely circumvents the app as you could just use the meter at that point). All in all I'm just salty about the city of Austin's parking system. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
