They don't do refunds if you accidentally paid twice. How am I even able to pay more than once for the same car in different locations at the same time? It doesn't make sense. They also need to update to send notifications that the parking is about to expire or already expired. It only took 5 minutes after my parking was expired to get a ticket. This is a cash grab. I barely had time to even extend or redo my parking. Terrible absolutely terrible they just want your money

Hard to use and I get tickets because the app does not send me notifications. The biggest problem is the app will not send me notifications. There are no settings in the app itself, which is dumb, and when I look in my phone's app settings, it says notifications are blocked for this app and the option to turn on notifications is grayed out so it's impossible to turn on. I've gotten a couple parking tickets because I did not know my time was about to expire.

I generally enjoy the convenience of parking apps like this. Unfortunately, apps like this sometimes get buggy and continue sending expiration reminders long after I have left the area. That is enough to downgrade one star. Adding insult to injury, I have tried to report the bug five times and repeatedly told that the bug report failed and that I should try again later. That just lost them another star.
