## Review summary

Users repeatedly report a poor, unreliable ParkSmart-BayST experience. The top issues are login/account problems (loops, password/OTP failures), payment/validation crashes and delays, broad app performance and UI glitches (slow responsiveness, keyboard issues), confusion around discounts/validation (AMC/Barnes Noble offers unclear or hard to apply), and troublesome ticketing/support (tickets despite payment, slow dispute processes). Some mention signage gaps in garages. Overall, the app consistently fails to meet user expectations.

### Cons

- Login and account creation issues (loops, password/OTP failures, unclear password rules).
- Payment and validation crashes and unreliable flow (screen bricks on payment, frequent crashes, long spinner times, inability to complete payment).
- General app performance and UI glitches (slow/laggy, keyboard disappearing, autofill issues, poor iOS integration).
- Discounts and validation confusion (difficulty applying AMC/Barnes Noble discounts, unclear validation flow, occasional missing QR codes).
- Ticketing and support problems (tickets issued despite paying, disputes by mail, slow or unresponsive staff).
