lousy customer experience-the app defaulted to my second vehicle plate and there was no way to change once processed. I realized immediately and had to move my car and they would not issue a refund even though I sent them the photo of the car with plate and parking number. It was a simple mistake and should have been resolvable in that quick timeframe, particularly since the spot was left and likely to be paid for again by another person. The plate I booked wasn't even in NYC. poor service.

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.
