Terrible, don't forget your password Don't forget your password, have tried to reset it multiple times and doesn't work. Even tried waiting a few hours between, uninstalled and downloaded app again and still can't log in. It clearly has my new password saved because if I try to reset it again it says I can't use the same password as my current one. Beyond frustrating

This app, although would have been useful, doesn't work properly. If you log out and try to log back in again, it says your password is incorrect. Then, when you go to "successfully" change your password it keeps saying it is incorrect. I signed up because the city was offering free $20 credits after completing a survey. I hadn't seen the credit yet and I really don't care anymore, they can keep the $20 and perhaps try to fix this monstrosity of an app.

Seems to work fine for me - great for parking and ending your parking sessions to minimize bills, super handy for when you're on the move and don't want to stand in line at the meter. Interface could use a little work, but pretty mild complaint and easy enough to accomplish what it sets out to do.

Want to maybe fix your app so people can actually sign in or change their password when it tells you some bs wrong password sign. Pretty much stealing money if you guys don't fix this up.

- app (or site) should store credit card info, or at least billing info. Painful to have to fill it in each time I want to top-up - I always seem to have connection issues. - app should always be notifying me (app notifications) while I have an active session (I frequently forget to end my session) - one or two click top - up - easier way to continue session. If I am in a 2 hour zone, and 2 hours runs out and far from my car...I need to end/start a new session. But there's no easy way to know which zone my car is parked in. If I end, then forget the zone, I need to login to site and do a usage audit, get that by email just to get my zone. This needs to be easier. Aside from those asks, makes it so much easier to deal with parking in Calgary, really really great system guys.

Can't create an account because it doesn't give me the option to select my phone number. It says "please select a number" but the list is empty.

Lost my password. Trying to reset password and on the sixth attempt. I'm sure I've met all the requirements but the app keeps denying the new password that was successfully set up. Frustrating!!!!

Tara W August 22, 2016

Unreliable Won't let me sign in. Have tried the password reset link multiple times, but it won't let me sign into the app. It has basically stolen all the money I had on account

bobby ngo April 24, 2017

Garbage app can't put 2 licence plate if one is registered to another person like my gf. Lots of ppl have 2 or more cars in the family. Also preloading is awful and waste of time. Just charge the credit card like other systems similiar like paybyphone and epark

Lazy - Not an app Simply a webview showing the mobile park plus page. You'd be better off just visiting the page in your browser.

Christina Lee February 13, 2017

Awful!! Someone needs to fix this NOW!! Tried resetting password multiple times.... says it's successful then try to log in and it says error with user name and password! WTF??!!!

Wayne Finkbiner March 6, 2017

Can't beat the password creation boss . Password I'm entering is 17 characters long , various letters capitals , numbers , and symbols and that's "too simple"? Okay there ....

April 27, 2017

Poorly designed for real world use. FYI a given licence plate can only ever be used by one user account but the system won't tell you that. It'll assign you MINE as a plate # (mysteriously intended as an error message). The city can then ticket you even if you think you've paid.

Don't forget your password... If you forget your password and reset it, app won't work...

Allison Walters February 26, 2017

Needs historic information - emailing a report is a ridiculous way to handle this.

howard w March 3, 2017

Terrible, way too complicated.

Jeff Sieben June 10, 2017

Advice: skip and use the machines on the road. This app sucks.

Len Healy January 6, 2017

Garbage Waste of time...

Chris Flory March 7, 2017

Pretty decent now after some upgrades. Same functionality as the web site

jason fox October 14, 2016

Doesn't actually do anything

Ryan Goldenberg February 14, 2017

Can't log in

It is good i like it

Paul Hills May 18, 2016

My Phone Number and Plate already exist in their system so I'm unable to add them to the APP. I had read the comments and heard that the app was useless... now I know that it is! Come on "Calgary Parking Authority" why do you prevent multiple people from having the same vehicle in their account? If I could rate this app as ZERO STARS ... I would.

Leif Gilbertson May 21, 2016

Hot garbage Did anyone actually use this before releasing it? Has anyone from the city used other apps before ever in their life? This is crap.

Greg T July 24, 2016

Garbage I was in Calgary on vacation and downloaded and tried to sign up and it's just frustrating. PaybyPhone App is so much better, I use it in Winnipeg

Anti Anti August 6, 2016

Idiotic Have you morons ever seen how works pay by mobile in rest of world? If you have not ask someone how looks like to send sms to dadicated number as premium sms and all done . You are bunch of morons trying to invent hot water.

Re Carlson April 6, 2016

Completely unusable. What a terrible app. I should have expected that it would be as bad as the website, but I had my hopes...

Patrick Hampson May 31, 2016

Phone number already exists Same as other users... I got the "phone number already exists in the system" notification. So... Because the person that had my number before me registered, I am not able to register? I actually laughed at how stupid this is. Useless.

Andrew Yegorovykh April 22, 2016

Password mess Creating password is impossible. It keeps saying "too simple". Cannot succeed.

Glen Arseneau April 10, 2016

It need improvement Even signing up was a chore. They should hire a pro to create a quick app that actually functions.

Dez Lee July 8, 2016

Utter garbage No idea how many time I need to reset and create a password. Nothing works. Immensely frustrating experience. Where was the testing on this before it was released??

Leroy M August 6, 2016

Piece of Sh$i! Absolute garbage I would be embarrassed if I was the City releasing this.

K Sarsons July 22, 2016

For what parking costs... You would think connections would be quick.

Deb Boniface December 21, 2015

Dumb app I only wanted this app to make doing quotes downtown easier, but I only do a few a year. I was expecting an app that would store my credit card so I would just enter the zone and end the session when I left. This app does not do that. It requires deposit and has a very long sign up process. Rediculious app that you have to plan your deposit in advance. I will just use my credit card at the meters when I park. I installed this app for convenience and it is anything but.

Jack Mason February 18, 2016

How much did I just pay? App works fine for stopping and starting parking sessions, but it won't tell you how much you just paid, which is a real shame. Why do I need to e-mail myself a pdf report to find this out? There has got to be an easier way. Also, it would be nice if when you started a parking session, it told you how much per hour you'd be paying.

Sharlene McKinnon December 22, 2015

It's easier to dial in The app does not work in most underground parking locations. Also, it forces you to log in EVERY SINGLE TIME you open the app. Makes it difficult to have a strong u/p combo and slows down using the app. Overall it's a frustrating user experience.

Jimi Darke November 19, 2015

Horrible app, difficult to use. Avoid!! Why can't I just specify the lot, time needed, and pay what's needed? It's stupid to ask someone to deposit money into an account, why can't I pay as I go? Also it doesn't save your credit card and has a horrible interface for adding funds. I'll never use this again and caution anyone else against it. FIX YOUR APP!

George Ouimet October 5, 2015

Welcome to 1985... This is by far the worst application I've ever installed since I began installing apps way back in 2008. Your programmers need to go to Vancouver and try their Pay By Phone app which is superior in every single sense of the word... Deposits and manually "Ending Sessions"... This is the scam you came up with hoping that people will "forget" to end their session while you nibble away at their deposits. Do you think people are idiots? I suppose so, which is why you went with depositing credit and manually ending sessions instead of pay per use with a stored credit card like every other city on the planet. This reminds me of the old mail order music cassettes scam back in the 80's.

Sowrdfish8 January 18, 2016

Does not work. Flat out. Login. Add money ... This could not be more poorly designed. Not one aspect of the app works.

David Suggitt August 1, 2015

Works but... Should use GPS to identify location, and automatically stop parking when you drive away. I've forgotten to stop the meter only to discover I've paid an entire afternoon for a twenty minute parking
