5/5Awesome
I really like this app. It comes handy when your a college student on campus it gives you up to two hours and you can reload time on your meter for cheap like buck seventy-five and your good. I’m mad appreciative to the genius who came up with this.

2/5Inflexible and Possibly Malicious
There isn't an option to end your parking reservation early. If I misjudge how long I'll need parking, I lose money paying for a spot I am not occupying. I don't understand why they have the system like this, except to maintain profit from convenience fees through the transaction. The transaction could be finished at the end of your parking reservation, allowing you to adjust the time (longer or shorter) based on your need. They chose not to do this, and the app is less flexible and more taxing as a result. This app was introduced here and completely replaced our coin meters. Now we HAVE to pay the more expensive app price, because it charges a convenience fee. I don't appreciate yet another aspect of my life becoming more expensive.

1/5Faulty app
I have never received a reminder/notification despite having that feature toggled on. I have received citations, though the app says I still had time left on the meter. The app does not retain enough parker history info to keep a record (so I could not contest my citation). The option to email myself a receipt would not work. The app says to visit the website for more history, but the text is jumbled as to what website to go to. Any Mobile Meter website I found does not include an option to search parker history. No help or support options within the app (or website), only a list of FAQs that don’t address any of these issues. Disappointing app, not reliable.

1/5Perfect combination of difficult to use and lots of bugs.
Where to begin. First, it did not accept my phone number when creating an account. Next, despite the option to pay from a mobile wallet, I could not pay from Apple Wallet - resulting in me not being able to return to the previous screen, and having to completely close the app and login again. Congratulations to MobileMeter for being exceptionally awful!

5/5Excellent parking app - get this!
Perfectly done! Great app, a must-have for wherever you park. This app is all about convenience, usability, and great features. You can easily continue to extend your parking, just by choosing a longer time period! It also has a cute little car horn that honks to remind you that your parking is almost up, in case you need to re-up while away from your car. Plus, it does one other thing which is very cool: Instead of charging you each time you re-up your parking session, they accrue it, giving you a single charge at the end of your session. Most apps would make separate charges as you go, but these folks thought ahead and made it just that much more user-friendly.
