Ratings and reviews

The app has been completely broken for about a week. The last two times I tried to park, I got charged through Google Wallet without a parking session actually being initiated. In fact, the last time (just last night), it charged me TWICE without recognizing the payment had gone through. Then I tried to re-register my credit card without using Google Wallet, and it still failed (so the issue is obviously on Flowbird's side, not Google's nor my bank's), though at least that time I wasn't charged.

I downloaded this app because the kiosk itself wasn't working and kept canceling instead of printing my ticket. Turns out the app is just as bad. It can't even figure out my location. When I finally got to it myself, there were no parking locations shown for this area, even though I'm looking around and seeing them everywhere. I wonder if I'm going to get charged for the parking passes that got canceled...

Keep getting the error message "specific etickets platform is unfortunately unavailable for this city at this time. Please reach the local service" and the local version of the app (MPLS Parking) returns a different error message. Troubleshooting with customer service did nothing; they were stumped and couldn't help (not their faults).
