User Reviews

Users praise ParkAlbany for easy mobile payments and quick time extensions, but reliability issues dominate. Recurrent network errors, app loading failures, and payment problems undermine the experience. The 15-minute lockout after session end and renewal hurdles can lead to tickets, and some users report tickets despite payment. A convenience fee and vague pricing add frustration. Overall, the app is convenient when it works, but widespread outages and enforcement concerns drive most critiques.

Pros

Very easy and convenient to pay for parking from your phone.
Extends parking time easily without returning to the meter.
Saves time and simplifies downtown Albany parking.
Overall straightforward and user-friendly when it works.

Cons

Frequent network errors / app won’t load / payment method failures, making it unreliable.
15-minute lockout after a session ends and difficulty renewing time, increasing risk of tickets.
Tickets sometimes issued even after payment (enforcement mismatch).
Convolution and extra charges like a convenience fee; unclear pricing.
Ongoing outages affecting multiple users and devices.

Recent reviews

The app (just like the employees) experience technical issues that I thought was just a fluke until I realized that too many others could relate. Parking in downtown dirty Albany should not be a chore for employees or visitors- but apparently, it’s intentional. You could pay at the meter with coins, if no receipt TAKE A PICTURE! You will likely get a ticket. App issues after trying to pay for parking, take screen grabs as proof. You will likely get a ticket. Eventually, I realized that calling to speak directly with the office is solely to misinform customers. They will lie to you and not even try to be friendly. Bottom line, Albany Parking will steal from you and as much as possible, every time - just like a faithful New Yorker.

The whole point of this app is to replace the need to feed the meter. It is not working, gives some error about the payment method even when I use multiple cards that I know work. How hard is it to code such an app? Just go with the meters.
