Let's see, EXTREMELY dated UI, hasn't been updated in months, plenty of bad reviews highlighting bugs, targets an Android version that's 4, almost 5 years old. Not seeing any upsides to this. But hey! City can claim it's made for GR. Great. Can't wait for the next version of Android to warn me that this app "targets an older version of Android" everytime I open it cause I don't see it being updated anytime soon. 👎👎

I thought this would be a good way to update my parking spot without having to visit the meter repeatedly. Turns out that you have to know your zone number - search zones doesn't work with a street or anything else. Since I downloaded the app after paying at the meter, it could not find my zone or the fact that I was parked, even though I was registered with the plate that I used at the meter. By the time I got back to my car to check the zone, there was a pretty green envelope on the window.

Garbage app - you can't see a map of the parking zones like other apps offer, and just parking a car requires more steps than other parking apps. Also the app is constantly accessing your phone's GPS in the background, even when you're not using it. Worst of all, you are forced to pick the duration of your park - you can't start a timer and then end it when you're finished (like you can with other apps such as Parkmobile).
