Ratings and reviews

Makes parking convenient and quick, eliminates misunderstanding fees, wasted time having to go back and feed a meter. The thing it's missing (IMHO) is ability to schedule paying in advance. I.E. my apartment doesn't have many parking spots. I one comes available they are expensive. I don't drive daily during paying hours/ events times. If I know I'm going to be gone or able to set before bed would be nice to sleep in or to not have remember event times.

I love having the app, and the app works pretty well with a few major complaints. 1) The reminder that the parking is almost up is too short. I can't get to my car in 60 seconds. Please make this a variable the user can access. 2) More zone history would be really nice, and attach the zone description as a subheading to the zones in the history list.

As a bank teller sometimes I park in the morning and move my car during my lunch. I'm not always able to stop what I'm doing to update my parking in 2 hour increments. A max of 4 hour increments could work (even if it'll cost more). As you can imagine getting a ticket this way can be really frustrating and the appeal process is also annoying. Plus, if I have to swap my lunch with someone there's no option to cancel/refund/credit parking time. Easy to use, but needs these improvements.
