This app works fine. Confusing. But fine. However the establishment that profits from it are a huge disappointment. If you fully link up they provide ample notification about how long you have until your car cannot be parked anymore. However if you have for some reason received a citation for parking, there is absolutely no notification via tech or standard mail. And if your lucky enough to have received a paper ticket you can pay it. If you wait until the next day the price doubles. If you never received a paper ticket via the wind or under qualified individual who wrote it didn’t actually leave it. Then you will be in collections about if for notification. No paper bill mailed before sent out to collections? What? No email notification even though I received 4 about my 1 hour of parking about to expire. Wow!!! Great ethics. $75 instead of $10 and now on my credit report. All for a 1 hour beach trip that use to be a free parking spot.

Expect multiple failures trying to pay for $4 parking when using this poorly written application. But don't worry - if you turn your back you'll get a $25 ticket. And when you send the support team the screen shots of the app failures, rather than reward you as unpaid support for their bad software, you still have to pay the parking ticket. Obviously management has invested more $$$ in the team that writes tickets than the team that writes the software.

Half of the time when this app tries to do a web query (like when you're doing simple things like attempting to say register an account) it just freezes, and will not let you go forward, back, switch data fields, or switch even between a numpad/alpha keyboard. No status bar, no spinning 'loading' symbol, you just have to force-quit the app and try again, but with your fingers crossed harder this time. Almost worth just ubering to the beach. (Now that I mention it, maybe that's the intent?!)
