Ratings and reviews

App needs work. I used it for street parking and the meter doesn't show updated time remaining unless I manually refresh the parking session. Also, the app defaults to max time and doesn't allow me to select less time, so I was forced to pay for max time. They should also add an option to extend meter time instead of having to let it expire and set up another session.

Our local airport requires this app for long term parking, so when leaving for our 19-day trip I installed and worked my way through, adding vehicle and credit card, and it seemed to go through. Returning 19 days later, I found 3 tickets claiming unauthorized parking. Checking the app, it showed no history. Didn't charge my card. Good news was the tickets were a lot cheaper than the parking would have been. So watch out for this app, don't rely on it, outcome could be a towed car or worse.

Needs work. It's convenient as in easy to understand and I don't have to keep change on hand, which may end up getting my car broken into. Relatively inefficient as we have to log in each time we open the app, we are not able to extend time (aka "feed the meter"), and having to look up the same parking spot from the beginning to add more time.
