User Reviews

Most reviews are negative. The top issues are a $10 minimum wallet preload and non-refundable balances, repeated payment failures and card/ network errors, overall app instability, wallet management difficulties, and the absence of zone maps or numbers. A few users note it once worked and that it can be the only way to park legally, but reliability and value are major concerns.

Pros

Core function to pay for parking through the app.
Wallet can store funds for future use, allowing quick payments.
Some users report the app worked fine in the past or, when it works, it is reliable.

Cons

Requires a minimum $10 preloaded wallet to use, often wasting funds if you don't spend it all.
Frequent payment processing failures, card declines, and network errors.
Frequent app instability: crashes, won't load, and issues persisting after reinstall.
Wallet management friction: can't delete or switch wallets easily and funds in wallet may not be recognized.
No zone map or complete zone numbers in the app, forcing manual lookup and causing confusion.

So I have had the Buffalo Rome App for years now. I was an active participant on the App. Now I’m trying to use it and it keeps saying I need an update but it won’t let me update it. It takes me to my wallet and then says I need to update my back card and then it won’t let me do anything from there?!! Annoying. I’ve tried several times in the past week to fix it but it won’t let me!!!

The parking app requires a minimum $10 balance and only allows reloading in $10.00 increments, even when the actual parking fee is as low as $2.00. In addition, extensions are limited to 15 minutes per transaction, with a $0.35 convenience fee applied to $0.50 for each 15-minute extension. As a result, each 15‑minute extension costs $0.85, which is excessive. This appears to be a recent policy change and is quite frustrating. Previously in 2024, the app allowed 30‑minute extensions with only a $0.10 initial transaction fee and no additional convenience fees for each extension.
