FSU Tranz for Android
Force-closes a lot.
Thanks for the update, still not very accurate.
Horrible app, because it crashes/freezes CONSTANTLY! For such a renowned university that "strives for excellence," FSU falls way short. You would think that the school would be more concerned with the representation of their own image through a very basic app that is so commonly used and depended on by FSU students.......But like most issues at FSU, it all falls on deaf ears.
There is a link to this on the myfsu mobile app
No support for lollipop
It was a great way to estimate parking garage load until I got a new phone and this app apparently does NOT support Android 4.4.x, i.e. KitKat...making it, effectively, useless.
The app keeps crashing. Please update.
Can be slightly informative, but not really useful as it's wildly inaccurate in regards to capacity. I've seen "full" garages with two whole floors actually open, and "1/2 full" garages that are actually filled to the max. Also crashes frequently and has a rather bland interface. This COULD be a very useful app. Needs a lot of work. Give the CS dept an API for the garage capacity and let them do it better.

Old version which was tablets friendly. However, new version is not. Please add tablet support!
You can actually see the Woodward Garage status now. I like the fact they included the number of how many spots there are actually left, rather than just a gauge. Not really sure what else can be done.
There are so many problems with this app. I've had it crash numerous times on me while trying to use it. When scrolling, the screen turn blacks until I stop. Clicking on individual garages doesn't work all the time. I have to stop and restart the app quite often if I want to see the map after it has updated. And it is not always accurate. I went to a garage that was supposed to be half full and there weren't many spots left. This has happened a few times. I honestly think it should be rewritten as this is promoted by the University and is subpar.
This is a terrible app. With a University that strives for academic excellence, this app is a poor representation of the university. I'm not sure who created it, but it needs to be scrapped and built from scratch--maybe have a competition with the computer science students? It would give us a great app and a show piece for their portfolios.
The system seems a bit inaccurate, and the graphics are childish. The idea is fantastic! *update: since the latest update nothing works. Fail.
This app is terribly designed and poorly thought out. Computer science students at the university have wanted to do this for a while but the office withheld all the vital information we needed to make it successful so instead, someone at the transportation office made it and came up with this garbage. All it is is a ploy to get thousands of people to open his app and for him to make money off of his ads. The only nice thing is that an ad covers part of it so we don't have to look at it.
The add in the way at the bottom shows poor design layout. It's fairly accurate though. You can't expect it to say there are an exact number of spots left when the counter outside the garage lies. Lol
Only thing is that the transportation logo at the bottom of the student parking screen covers the last parking garage meter so its not visible.
Needs to be more accurate
I check this every morning. It is so helpful!
Working like it should.
Due to the banner at the bottom you cannot see the Woodward Garage. It would be helpful if you could considering the garage is ALWAYS busy. Fix that and this ap would be extremely helpful!
Why cant you give us the number of spaces left? Obviously you have the technology and you have no problem displaying it to the public. Why not help us out?
Barely works on my galaxy nexus. I can only use this app on my iPod touch.
Awesome

Useful, but needs improvement. Here are some suggestions: 1. There should be a Refresh button or swipe-to-refresh. There's currently no way to tell if the displayed information is current or not, so you have to kill the app and reopen if you want to make sure. 2. The information could be displayed in a more streamlined way. The gauges are inherently inaccurate. If the garage capacity is 795 and the gauge says 7/8 full, approximately how many spot are available? It seems like it could be anywhere from 50 to 150. Is that how it works. Instead, just replace all that info with "78 spots available". 3. The garages that have floors closed off should be very clearly indicated on the main screen. Add a warning badge and fix the gauge to accurately represent the closure. If you do something like in 2 above, you could just subtract the number of reserved spots from the available count, and then you wouldn't even need to tell users about the closures.
