5/5DOWNLOAD THIS
This is the BEST parking management app out there, not only because it’s the only one but because it has everything you need. - easy to mark your parking spot - they respond to app suggestions and feedback pretty immediately - you can add your parking permit information - it’s quick and has no bugs that I’ve found - app is polished and map information is accurate (only issue I’ve found is that the 1 block area where certain permits overlap doesn’t list the information for both permits, only one, but you can submit map feedback if you see that) - you can scope out parking costs (even compare different nearby garages) before going somewhere, and even set the time frame when you’re going to be there - I love that the map displays general parking info when you move over it (i.e., free parking, hour limits, parking costs, etc), which makes it easy to plan ahead (or determine whether or not it’s cheaper to just Lyft) when I’m going to an unfamiliar area. This has literally everything anyone needs to own a car and avoid tickets while living in a city. My only suggestions would be to streamline the settings/menu portion of the UI a little more and that sometimes the push notifications don’t work (though it’s so easy to just open the app and see when I need to leave, it’s not a huge deal). I also think it’d be cool if they added an iOS widget.

5/5Suggestions to a already great app
This is by far the most advanced and easy ui street parking app and works wonders here in nyc the street times and holidays opposite side parking reminders are helpful when heading out the house. One thing I’ve noticed since the big update is that my parking spot has not been able to pick up when i actually move my car to a different location and occasionally i forget what street i left my car on and look to the app to find out it’s still has the location for the last spot i was in. Furthermore the alert that a driver has moved from a location is a smart idea but honestly lacks because not a lot of people actually use it. Maybe if it was automatic and not something you had to manually alert more people would be finding it useful other then this it’s a great app keep up the work.

1/5Used to be great
A couple of years ago, this app was amazing. Over the last couple years it has sadly become pretty much useless - notifications haven’t worked for me for over a year (have been in touch with developers about it multiple times, but it just won’t notify me like it used to. All I get these days is a notification every time I park, saying ‘you’ve parked in an area with restrictions’, and that’s it). It often doesn’t remember my last parking location (also never used to be a problem). I never get the 15/30 min warnings anymore. And now, after a couple years or the app working less and less well, they are now charging for anything other than the most basic functions (which don’t work anymore). Really hoping another developer takes this idea and runs with it, in a reasonably-priced app. Really miss SpotAngels working well - I probably would have paid a couple years ago, but there’s no way I’d pay for this app now. I’ve waited a year or so for it to work properly again, will likely delete it soon.

5/5This app has saved me from death by metermaid!
This app has been wonderful for all the reasons outlined in the many thorough reviews here that I 100% corroborate. The features are impressive, the learning curve is not too difficult even for a non tech savvy person, you can participate in verifying parking spot rules, hours, taking photos of signs, and help the community keep the information accurate and up to date. I can’t believe how cavalier I was beforehand about parking, thinking I was in ok zones or completely forgetting about street sweeping; as a gig economy driver Ive racked up nearly $600 in tickets in the last few months alone; since using this app for a month, I’ve not received a single one. Thank You to the brilliant developers to the minds and those who operationalized a great idea so successfully!

3/5I thought I finally found it!
... but then, I used it. So, after reading reviews, mostly good, downloading, entering my email, finding the verification email, opening the app, and finally, opening the app, ALL THE ALTERNATE SIDE STREET PARKING STREETS ARE MARKED THE SAME... GREEN. So i wrote a snarky review, and got some good news from the developer (so now we are up to three stars). Here’s what we learned: • the ability to see alternate side parking dates is “hidden” under filters (I think). If I plug in a date I want to find parking, only green lines show where parking is available. So, if it’s Monday morning, and I want to find parking the whole day, this app is o.., but not very intuitive for finding street parking that’s not going to give me a ticket on a Monday. Do I keep the following comment: C’mon, you couldn’t use green for Monday/Thursday, and orange for Tuesday/Friday? Someone thought that I did all this work to see where there is some form of alternate side parking... vs. Pay For Street Parking? Recommendation: the default should be for today, at this time, using two different colors for the days parking is free. (Who plans on looking for Street the day in advance?) The default should show where parking is available right now, and filter should enable setting the time for later, or tomorrow, or some time in the future. If you update the app to do this, it would be a 5-star, and I’d even pay for it. Thanks for the quick response!
