## Review summary

The 717 Parking app is plagued by reliability and billing problems: users report being forced to pay for long durations, tickets issued even after paying, login and account creation struggles, inflated fees, and mismatches between app data and lot signage. While a few experiences are smooth, many reviews describe poor support and disputed charges, leading some to label it a scam or rip-off.

### Pros

- Some users report a normal, functional experience when using it (e.g., for a concert in Florida).
- The app provides a digital payment option for parking.

### Cons

- Cannot set or change parking duration; app often defaults to max time, leading to overcharges.
- Tickets issued even after paying via the app; disputes with support are unhelpful or unresponsive.
- Frequent login and reliability issues: login failures, account creation problems, system errors.
- Pricing is seen as exorbitant and inconsistent; perception of rip-off and high fees.
- Mismatch between lot numbers or signage and app data; leads to wrong tickets and debt-collection notices.
