Asbury PARK – parking app

I use this app all the time, yet I've gotten 2 tickets in this past year while using this app, so beware! I used it recently, then pretty soon after could see a ticket being placed on my car. I immediately pulled up the app and the session I "started" earlier was no longer listed in my history, even though I went through all the steps and started the session. This happened to me a while ago also, but it was one of the first times I used the app so I thought it was user error. By now I know how it works, and I know that it wasn't just me, and other people have confirmed that it's happened to them too. I was parked right in front of the sign that had the zone number, so I know that wasn't the issue. If you're going to use this app, you should double and probably triple check that the session actually started and possibly screenshot for backup in case you still get a ticket. I wish I did that this last time.

Tried to pay last night in Asbury park using their new pay by plate system which did not work. I hadn't my phone and didn't know about the pay by plate system since was first time there since new system was installed. I tried inserting my credit card n it would not work tried bills and the station would not let me enter them. We then went to another station n got the same, so annoyed we left town since I saw police around giving tickets.. not everyone would know before coming to town it would be such a hassle to park. You have to download an app just to pay for a parking spot? I think that is crazy besides the fact really inconvenient.

This is such an improvement because it has features like an alert timer when your parking is running low and you can go enjoy yourself without being paranoid about making time to feed the meter!
