## Review summary

User reviews are largely negative about Spot On - MSU Parking. Core issues include payment failures and lack of Apple Pay, frequent 'unavailable' messages for lots, and inability to pay at meters. Users report getting tickets after paying, 1-hour payment limits, and confusing zone/meter mapping after updates. Usability bugs and weak support are also noted, with several references to reinstalling or patching. A few mentions acknowledge the convenience of paying from the app, but reliability problems dominate.

### Pros

- Convenience of paying for parking via the app to avoid lines at meters.
- Ability to pay without carrying cash or a wallet (e.g., when the wallet is forgotten).

### Cons

- Payment processing issues and lack of Apple Pay support; users report card payments failing, being charged, and tickets issued after paying.
- Inability to pay at meters via the app; several reviews say meters can no longer be paid with the app or the app is unavailable.
- Frequent 'unavailable' messages for parking lots and inaccurate location/zone data (mapping issues leading to wrong lot/zone).
- Limitations on parking duration (only 1-hour payments) and unclear pricing for longer stays or weekend rates.
- Buggy updates and weak support (outdated version, zone changes, incorrect vehicle info, reinstall guidance).
