Ratings and reviews

It's a good app, easy to use, and great for putting more time on your parking without having to go back to the machine. However, the "session active" notification stays on even after the parking has ended, with no way of removing it, unless I restart my phone, pretty annoying.

Very frustrating experience, after entering all my payment details and saving I then proceeded to the pay screen, where I then had to enter all the saved details again. After 5 attempts I gave up as the app was continually unable to process my payment, tried with 2 different cards to make sure it wasnt the card that was the issue, each time the same. Ended up spending far more than I needed to as I didn't know how long I was going to park for and didn't want to keep going back to the machine.

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.
