I hate this app. It's such a lousy experience trying to park if you only occasionally use a metered lot. You get out there and have to download this thing in a garage with bad signal or you're trying to reset your password. I don't understand why these cities and garage owners can't just use a kiosk that takes credit cards. Now this. I hope this incident makes people reconsider this app and others like it.
- coolspot 5y agoWhen I encountered ParkMobile last time, some ~5 years ago, it was an upgrade from coin-only meters on an outdoor parking at Santa Monica beach.
- astura 5y agoWhy download an app and create an account unless you were going to use it frequently? I've always just used the website to pay to park without an account.
