1. 5/5So easy!

   I have been parking in Boston for decades & I always used to have to keep so many quarters in my car- sometimes I’d forget & what a pain in the neck that was! Parking in this city is tough enough without having to remember to have CHANGE. It really streamlines the process & lets me get to where I’m going that much faster- I really enjoy it! Yay technology!

2. 1/5Terrible update

   You guys recently implemented an update where you are now clustering the parking numbers, for example, in Back Bay when you zoom into the neighborhood, you see 87 possible parking meter numbers, prior to the change I’m not sure which version, you were able to zoom into the exact street that you are parked at and it would have the corresponding meter number on the side of the street that you were parking at, now you have removed that feature in substitution for clustering all of them, and hoping that the user would remember the meter number and input that meter number, else you would have to search up the exact street name carry a compass or look at the moon and sun to determine which orientation you parked north, east, south or west. Every other parking app that I’ve used has the feature that pinpoints the exact location in which the meter number correspondence to the side of the street. Why would you remove such a useful feature?

3. 1/5Changes to the app with Passport are awful

   1. They used to be a map of zones which made parking and determining your zone really easy. That no longer works. 2. Residents who had resident parking permits and who worked late shifts used to be able to park in residential only zones overnight that are metered during the day, and pay in advance for the first two hours of the morning metered time (eg 8-10am), so is not to have to disrupt their sleep simply to wake up at 8 AM and pay for two hours of parking. That feature also no longer exists and its absence causes harm to residents. 3. It continually logs user out.

4. 5/5Happy to stay inside

   This is great! I couldn’t believe you could do this till I traveled east! My only complaint is you can only do it once during the day and then you have to park in a new zone or feed the meter. Other than that the app is super easy to use and I have no problems with it at all.

5. 1/5Bug in app - paid for parking then Ticketed

   The old version of the app works for me, the new version seems to have a bug. I paid for parking this evening and while the session was active, it first looked totally fine in the app. Now the session has ended and it is not showing up in my history. I got a ticket for the parking session, even though I can see that my credit card was charged for parking in the app. I am disappointed that I now have to argue the ticket, when whole point of app is convenience and now I’ll need to go through the inconvenience of fighting it.
