## Review summary

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.
