Ratings and reviews

This app is complete TRASH!! If you are using the app they make you preload $20 into your account (you can't select a lower amount or pay for each time) to extend your time if your balance is low in the account that's 20 more you have to pay. if you not planning to stay 2 hours or more they charge for that. If you pay for parking make sure you stay the entire time they'll let you transfer the zones but you're not allowed to stop the time and get some of your money back.

Dont bother with this app, they charge a service fee every time you reserve for less than 2 hrs and additionally each time you want to extend your time. The app forces you to pre-load $20(minimum). I figured it would be an easier way to park on the streets but like everything else in Chicago, they're just squeezing money from you wherever they can.

The app itself is great. It's easy to use and the timer is good, as is the reminder notification. The cutoff so you don't pay during free parking times is nice too. However, I got this app so that I could avoid the pay boxes, and my car was towed because the paper saying no parking was, you guessed it, on the pay box, not on the parking sign that I was next to. The papers stopped at the pay box, which was about 30 feet short of the edge of the no parking zone. App cost me a few hundred dollars.
