ParkVictoria for Android
When it works it's great. But if you get a bad connection it reports an error and closes. But then you can never open it again. The only solution is to reinstall the program. Come on fix this bug. I've reported it in crash logs and still nothing. Pathetic. This bug is still not fixed. I'm so sick of this.
Useless app. Downloaded it specifically because I was hitting the museum with my daughter and didn't want to rush out mid-trip for parking. Wasn't able to add time to my existing parking space, went out to check and what did I have waiting for me? A TICKET! Too many people complaining of the same issue for me to think it's entirely coincidental.
I would really really like this app to work. I think the City of Victoria should remove it from the app store until they fix some of the larger bugs, including losing connections mid-purchase and when logging off, and crashing and locking users out.
Downloaded app so I could add more parking time but it crashed after it said it emailed me a verification email. Never got the email and the app wouldnt open. I had to uninstall and re add. Frustrating.
If it worked consistently it wiyld be really helpful, but I have to uninstall and reinstall every third use. Sounds like it's an issue for most users. It must be fixable. Fix it, and I'll rate it higher.
Worked sometimes for a couple of weeks. Kept disconnecting while trying to complete a transaction. Installed on new phone and could not log in. After a week of calls for support with no help, just uninstalled it.
Bugs! Same complaint as everybody else. Crashes and locks you out until you reinstall the app. Cannot rely on it! Great idea, terrible execution
Can be glitchy and frustrating at times. When it does work it's brilliant.
When it launches it does the job. But asks for lots of permissions that I don't understand why it needs. Also rather then send notifications when time is running out it takes you to the app.
It's completely essential to have this app but I have to restart my phone every time I have to use it, sometimes I have to reinstall the app to make it work and it crashes my phone all the time. If the city's money is going in to production of this app why does it suck so much?
Initial run after phone restart or force close is fine.. After you run it that once to buy parking, however, it wont open again until you force cloae or restart phone. Love the idea, but please fix it.
Almost as bad as Robbins, but nothing can compare to those devil worshipping scumbags. This CRAPP (crap app) doesn't let you pay over night, and only opens to pay for parking at 5am. Another cash grab. You can't just pay per parking time, they make you load up a prepaid "account", and the notifications give your phone epileptic seizures.
This app is one of the worst. It's builder should be ashamed.....
Would be nice if it worked properly. Works sometimes if the wind is in the right direction.Used to work well until they "improved it". Please unimprove it.
This app is great when it's working but seems to stop regularly. I've had this happen on multiple devices. A power off/on won't resolve the problem, app needs to be uninstalled then re-installed. Also doesn't link mobile No. & email. If you login using different methods duplicate accounts will be created and it's a chore to get it sorted with City Hall admin.
Went to add time to parking when it ran out and app suddenly stopped working. Went straight back to my car and by the time I got there (7 minutes later) I had just gotten a ticket. So much for 'convenient'! Had to Uninstall app and reinstall it just to get it to work again. #scam
It takes forever to load and keeps timing out. My internet strength is good and other aps working fine right now. Completely unreliable and frustrating. I've been in the passport office for 2 hours, can't leave to fill up my park time at a parking meter and will most likely get a ticket.
Hire some developers that can actually perform. This app requires an uninstall/reinstall to get to work again. No updates... = sucks.
Crashes frequently & then won't restart. The only trick is to clear all app cache & reregister your acct. I have done this many times. App developer should handle error conditions gracefully.
This app worked great for the first year, then I got the "Internet connection interrupted" error and despite removing it and reinstalling it several times it has not worked again. I called the city and all they told me was the app was working fine. To top it off, none of the ticket despsensers downtown seem to be able to read my credit cards, despite the fact they work everywhere else. So I guess I need to get a roll of loonies from the bank...
This app was awesome till it stopped opening, taking with it the money I had in my account. Great and convenient in theory but it has broken twice on me requiring a reinstall.
Slow, unreliable and not user friendly. Needs to be easier and faster than coins or even my chore downtown
The app works great for a few days, then stops working until I uninstall and reinstall the app. Would rate higher if I didn't have this issue
Works well usually. Use it almost daily. One crash. Recovered money in account no problem.
Overall works well for me. Once set up, when started it assumes I want to park (good!) so I only need to enter space. The won't-start-after-crashing needs to be fixed. That said at least when reinstalled it knew I had an account.
I absolutely love this app. It allow you to extend you time if you are not going to get back to your car in time. Also if you get back early you pay for the exact time you used. Great!
Crash Happy. Buggy App. Crashes all the time necessitating a force close and clearing data.
Suddenly won't accept my same old PIN and when I try to reset the PIN doesn't recognize my credit card information. Also very difficult to find assistance if things go wrong. I've wasted several hours on this ... time that could have been used stuffing money into parking machines.
It should have a more secure sign on than a 4 digit PIN. Wish I could merge "accounts" because in the past it was more intuitive to add a second account after getting a new credit card rather than add a finding source. Now I have multiple old "accounts" with a few dollars on each.
Works much better than the re-loadable cards, and less frustrating than the parking pass machines.
Works great. Wish you could preload more than 10$ Cause thats what like 3 hours of parking in the town core.
Works great, except when you try to change accounts. Once you have logged in, the only way to log in with a different park victoria account, or to change from email verification to phone verification is to uninstall it and reinstall it. Other than that, I love it.
Used to work now I have credit on there and it won't even start up. They don't seem to care since it's been ages. Don't recommend downloading.
Got this app, put $10 on it, used it once, have tried to use it at least 10x, hasn't worked yet and got a ticket because I was in court and couldn't leave to buy more time!!!!
After the last update of the app, I can't even launch it. I use to love it but now it does nothing but crashes on launch.
Excellent app from the City of Victoria. Has some minor problems but %90 of the time works as expected. On a recent re-install due to errors, I had the app up and running with my history and payment information saved. A must have for tech-inclined folks in the South Island. One thing missing would be a unique connection to other municipal services.

I'm impressed. Most apps like this tend to be half baked. No issues for me.

When you switch between multiple windows, you lose the ability to simply reopen the app. I need to go to the APPS section in my Settings and choose to FORCE STOP, just to be able to close out my parking session. Hmmm, a ploy and a way for them to steal more money from us? Fix the issue! Pixel XL user.
