User Reviews

The MPLS Parking app is seen as convenient and easy to use with useful notifications for expiry and when payment isn’t required, and some users report reliable, quick parking and timing. However, recurring pain points include payment friction (limited methods, re-entering card, extra fees), stability and UI problems (slowness, bugs, crashes), pricing glitches and unexpected charges, and session management issues. Snow emergency features are also sometimes missing or hard to use. Overall, mixed reliability with notable usability and pricing concerns.

Pros

Very convenient and easy to use
Helpful notifications for expiry and when you don’t have to pay
Quick and straightforward parking and payment flow when it works
Useful snow/parking emergency notifications
Generally positive experience with correct spot selection and timing for some users

Cons

Payment problems and limited payment options (cannot reliably add a card, no Google/Apple Pay, extra fees)
Slow, buggy, crash-prone performance and poor user interface
Pricing inconsistencies and unexpected charges (double rates in some areas, extra 25¢ charges)
Session management issues (app logs out frequently, cannot pull up active sessions, incorrect status)
Snow emergency feature gaps (no snow emergency options or signup difficulties)

it doesn't take my payment anymore

This app is literally horrible. I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to set it up and still can't get through. You need to make this easier if you want people to pay for parking.
