Ratings and reviews

unlike the parking system that they use in Washington, that always stalls and fails and gets me ticketed, this one actually works well. My one gripe is that it asks me every time to select my vehicle and credit card even though I only have one of each. The experience should be optimized but I only have to pick the length of time and it just uses the only card and car that I have.

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.
