In-app payments can lead to tickets or unrecorded charges, with disputes and refunds difficult.
Frequent crashes, slow loading, logouts, and bugs; updates often degrade functionality.
Key features removed or broken in updates (e.g., resident prepay, map view, quick-reselect).

You guys recently implemented an update where you are now clustering the parking numbers, for example, in Back Bay when you zoom into the neighborhood, you see 87 possible parking meter numbers, prior to the change I’m not sure which version, you were able to zoom into the exact street that you are parked at and it would have the corresponding meter number on the side of the street that you were parking at, now you have removed that feature in substitution for clustering all of them, and hoping that the user would remember the meter number and input that meter number, else you would have to search up the exact street name carry a compass or look at the moon and sun to determine which orientation you parked north, east, south or west. Every other parking app that I’ve used has the feature that pinpoints the exact location in which the meter number correspondence to the side of the street. Why would you remove such a useful feature?
