You have to enter (and then verify) all of your contact information, create a complicated login, give them unfettered access to your location and device information, and then deal with an atrocious buggy interface, just to pay a dollar to park on the street for 30 minutes. It's not that deep guys, just take my card and license plate # like everyone else. Can't imagine what kind of nepotism or corruption led to a city adopting this app.

if I could give it less than 1 star, I absolutely would. they seem to have scaled a product before ensuring its efficiency. The app has such a massive load/lag time that 9/10 times, it doesn't actually open or load. this is likely due to the massive geo print required to track parking x-regions. I think they should have focused on one region, get that right, and then expand it to other popular cities.

After trying at least six different parking apps in different cities and even within LA, it is quite phenomenal how ridiculously bad, how masterfully bad, this thing is. 1. First, it will not let you add any convenient payment methods and forces you to add a regular credit card, which is the least of the problems with UI and UX in this app. 2. The zone finding can only be seen on these dead meters that can no longer be paid for in a regular method. 3. There are two different search bars
