Ratings and reviews

The space number on the meter didn't work when input into the app. The meter had two different numbers from the back and the front, luckily one of them ended up working. We could have gone to a different spot but we were parking at an EV charger. App doesn't notify your session ended or tell you if it's over. I thought it was still charging me so I almost opened a new session. The app is ugly and could have better interface and design. Curly font overlaying other text is awful looking.

Seriously the worst thing ever! Absolutely hate this app. It doesn't notify you when your time is about to run out. I have an android phone so I'm not sure if Apple users expirence this too but it doesn't allow you to click on renew session once time is up you have to physically type it in again and hope that you remember all the numbers. Its very inconvenient and don't have time for all at!

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).
