About this app

It provides real-time occupancy information of metered parking spaces so as to facilitate motorists in finding vacant on-street parking spaces. Motorists could also pay the parking fee remotely with multiple payment means through the app. The key features of ""HKeMeter"" includes:-
1. Real-time metered parking spaces information
2. Remote payment for parking time with multiple electronic payment means
3. Notification to users before expiry of parking time

Ratings and reviews

Good for remote parking, absolutely shoddy user interface. The way the app is designed makes it way, way, way too easy to misclick and disconnect by accident. At the very least, make the default page upon login to be "My Sessions" instead of "Parking" and showing the QR code button. It's inconvenient, too mistake-prone, and counterproductive.

While I have been able to use the app effectively for remote metering, I am baffled by the fact that since I upgraded to a new phone with an Android 14 version, I am unable to turn on the Chinese interface option. Please advise why this is so, and the circumvention.

While this app is useful, the UX is terrible. 1. Map does not auto-refresh - availability is likely to change en-route 2. When zoomed out, the bubble with the number includes parking space outside of the visible map which is misleading. E.g. you see there are 5 spaces left but when u zoom in further there is 0 3. I suggest the government embrace open data and open up the api for map apps to integrate. It's bad UX and dangerous to have drivers switch between map apps for directions and parking.
