Ratings and reviews

The app is generally fine, but the map only comes up 10% of the time? It uses to show automatically but it doesn't anymore. Super frustrating because half the time in my city, the numbers on the meter are scratched off so I can't read them. A functional map would be really helpful. edit a year later, the problem is even worse. the map doesn't even show in certain neighborhoods. can someone fix this please?

App sucks, could not validate three different VALID cards, and would only see one of three in my digital wallet. Scanner failed to read any of the cards, either. Pointless to run an entire parking system for a city the size of Denver with an app that sucks so bad. Also, standing NEXT to the meter, it told me the closest spot was across the street and down the block. My GPS has never been that wrong.

It should not be hard to get an app like this right. The functionality is simple and straight forward. Usability is terrible and for some dumb reason NFC only works on the iphone version. Some very easy improvements would make this infinitely better. They could add auto-renew, or any kind of spot history. The only history is lacking any information and seems to be in random order??? I wish i could just pick a competitive app but this seems to be the only one that works in this area.
