Ratings and reviews

This app will allow you to select a parking spot, pay for it, and then the city tickets you for being in a spot that they collected parking fees for. After that, I requested my account be closed and the funds on file be refunded. It took over 8 months to get the check, and about a dozen emails from me met with "oh we don'tknow how long it will take" - what finally worked and still took a month was contacting them through their website rather than the existing email chain.

Convenient when it works, but very glitchy; lately won't process a time extension (keeps saying the app is not available). Have to wait for time to expire and then create a new session. Sometimes I get logged out, or it doesn't have my license plate filled in even though it's the default. Overall it beats a parking meter, but should be so much better.

Usually pretty convenient but I just paid for a session, received a receipt (didn't screenshot) the session started, and I later checked how long was left on the session. When I get back, I find a ticket on my dash, I check the app and they conveniently have no record of the session at all and they didn't charge my card (I didn't think I needed to check). Will consider updating my review if their customer service takes care of the ticket somehow.
