Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
Downloaded the app, but it won't take any form of payment. I tried 3 different credit cards, including Google payments. Took about 10 minutes of fumbling before I just paid by card at the meter. What a world app, when there is always an error adding a payment method. Had a 2nd person try too...same issue. I think the app is dead.

The recent update is a real down grade in the UI and UX. It is now impossible to use this app if you ever turn off your wifi. There is a pop-up window telling you GPS works better when they scan for wifi, and if you dismiss it without turning on wifi, it instantly reappears until you die of old age tapping "Dismiss" If you only have one car, it still forces you to choose which car you are parking. 🤔 Finally, I DON'T WORK FOR YOU. Stop asking me to tell you how YOUR APP is broken.

new update is terrible. unfortunately this app is now basically unusable. not only did it not give me a notification when I was recently parked in Seattle resulting in a $65 parking fine Even though my notifications were on and there were no reasons why I should not have received a notification... and when I reached out to support on this issue I was ignored. I'm also having constant troubles logging in and logging out. absolutely useless.
