Ratings and reviews

I don't think I've had a worse parking app experience than this. They're all pretty bad, but Hotspot seems like it was intentionally designed to be as hostile as possible. Oregon City needs to switch immediately. I've never before been required to keep a balance (minimum $10) just to pay 70¢ to park. On top of that, you can't have more than one active session, so I can't pay for parking more than one of my cars at once! Completely outrageous.

The app won't let me register. I can't get past the final screen to accept the privacy policy check box and submit. It keeps taking me back to the same submittal screen. And now it says my email is already taken. I tried to sign in but nothing happens either. Based on other reviews of the app, just stay away. Sounds like you need to add extra money in the app that you would have to ask for a refund anyways so may as well just overpay at a kiosk to make sure you don't get a ticket. POS app.

Pure rubbish. Complicated setup. Cannot process a single card payment like literally all modern apps, but rather forces you to fund a wallet with a $10 MINIMUM. My 1 hour parking fee was $1.22. Freaking absurd. If you park in Oregon City, I HIGHLY recommend you just bring coins instead of getting gouged by this straight-up scam. I've used many parking apps in multiple countries, and this is - BY FAR - the absolute worst one I've ever seen.
