Sweep Alarm: Street Sweeping

I have been using this iPhone app for 3 years, since I moved here and I cannot thank this app enough. It has saved me from so many tickets and also is nice to remember where I parked my car. It eliminates so much stress since I don’t need to worry about reading street signs and calendars to try to figure out when street sweeping is. The UI is also cute, how they put the date and time of the sweeping in a box that looks like a street sign. It’s also useful to use to figure where I park my car before I park it by moving the location around to see what day of the week and street will allow me to park the longest. Download this app!!!

I don’t often write reviews, but this app was such a great idea I had to give some kudos. I have only been using the app for less than a week so there might be some issues I haven’t noticed but so far it seems perfect. I have seen people comment that some streets are not correct, however all streets around where I usually park are correct and it’s recommended that you always double check with the sign so no issues there. For those wanting more aggressive notifications, you can go into notifications in your iphone settings, go to Sweep Alarm from the list of apps, and change the notifications to persistent, always show previews, etc. Thank you Jorn for designing this app, and for free!

This app is going to save me hundreds or thousands of dollars. I try to remember to move my car at the right time but forget maybe once a month, and that’s a $95 mistake in SF. This app is almost perfectly designed.. The only improvement would be more assertive and customizable alarm / reminder options. Great job! Some reviewers have noted some inaccurate street cleaning dates. So far all info is accurate for me, but I always check the app against the sign before trusting the alarm, recommend that for all users just in case.
