★★★★VERY BAD APP. DOESN’T WORK🇺🇸 US

Never opens, zone’s never work. Emails never send a d when they do send, the code doesnt work.

BBK - aka H· 2026-05-17
★★★★★RUINED by Apr ‘26 Update🇺🇸 US

The recent update has ruined a formerly great app. Now users must work through layers of menu selections to reach what used to be easily reached from the main screen. Map looks like a cartoon. History receipts don’t even have the company name - no longer have a professional look. Disappointing.

★★★★Horrible app🇺🇸 US

Doesn’t work well to add time, since I was trying to add time I missed a lot of my event as I was worried the app wouldn’t update and I would get parking ticket or worse towed. Customer service is a joke! Find other parking solutions

Frustratedparker· 2025-12-30
★★★★★Stop updating so frequently🇺🇸 US

Stop updating so frequently because every time is a new hassle before you can park.

Jcela88· 2025-12-21
★★★★Does not work anymore🇺🇸 US

Subscription disappeared as well as saved vehicles, re-adding vehicles not possible “uh oh” error, no support, only ai chat suggesting to re-add the vehicle🙄

OegeOege· 2025-12-13
★★★★The Houston resident discount is a LIE !!!🇺🇸 US

I have submitted the required information twice now in the past month. Not sure if it is complete incompetence or they just refuse to honor the transaction fee discount but to date, I have not had the transaction fee discount added to my account. They have replied to my submission multiple times, but the discount has yet to be properly applied and I’ve used the app 3 times during the past month and still paying the normal amount they charge. Without the discount, this app is completely useless. You can use the ParkMobile app everywhere and you get the same price. What’s the f’ing point if you don’t honor what you’re supposed to for residents???

utrph77004· 2025-10-04
★★★★Not user friendly🇺🇸 US

Hard to confirm via app where you were prev parked; even worse is inability to easily extend if you switch from mobile data to wifi- app is easily confused by something as simple as that.

HarryW4· 2025-07-21
★★★★Unreliable🇺🇸 US

With login changes in Feb 2024. Almost impossible to login. Neither email, nor text message not being issued reliably to complete login.

Texacanuk· 2025-03-20
★★★★Worst app I’ve ever used🇺🇸 US

Constantly logging me out, and the email link never shows up for me to log in. It won’t let me use my password to log in. I’m better off using the physical meter rather than use this garbage.

Whychooseme· 2025-03-01
★★★★★Easy as apple pie🇺🇸 US

Works great. Used it many times. If you integrate it with your Apple login, there seems to be no problems.
