MobileNOW! Parking App for US

Why so many 5 stars when there are either no comments or for ' an older version'? Are these reviews fake?

I liked the app fine until 2 updates ago. Now when you stop your session the notification doesn't go away until you restart the phone. The pull down has an option to stop the session and when you select it it says no session in progress. Android 7.0.

Its the easiest way to keep UT Arlington from towing my car from school... for no good reason.

It works, and the scan is very convenient. I haven't had any problems in billing, unlike some others

It doesnt make sense to pay a minimum of $20 to use this app to park in garages that have two hour parking for $2. If you dont live in the designated areas where you can use this app, the replenshing account within the app is simply robbery. There is no need for it.

$20 thing is stupid. When I tried using it again my money wasn't in my account no more and asked for another $20.

The 20$ funds is just stupid, put just on the go

Works every time.

I noticed I was being charged $20/transaction, despite truly owing between $8-11 per transaction. Per the mobile now policy, they hold this amount per day if there are insufficient funds in your account. However, I have my account linked to a credit card that has no limit close to what I incurred. I called customer service and they were absolutely unhelpful in resolving the issue.

Absolutely terrible. I wanted to create an account, so that I could extend my parking session. But simply signing up through the app and website (yes I tried both) there were complications. I called seeking assistance and after being on hold for 15 minutes a pleasant lady answered. She tried to help but when she put me on hold it hung up. I again called and Muhammad answered and he had a terrible attitude and even called me a liar when I was seeking clarity. I don't get how the customer service could be so poor because I'm a nice person. Now I have to deal with a parking ticket. I was appalled. Fix the app and hire better customer service reps!

Worst app ever. I need my money back, considering disputing it with my card company. I can't even use the app because everytime I do i get ticketed !

Does not work, can't sign up for account, error popup with no words, just OK button, seriously?

Can't use drop down field to enter email. As the only means other than cash to park, this app is an immense failure for helping people park who do not have cash on hand. Could not enter email, could not sign up.

Can't even enter your email into an email request window. What a joke app.

we just pay for the time we use it! it is worth the 0.35 cents convenience fee.

Makes parking easy

I have a receipt and history showing that i paid for parking, but received a parking ticket anyway. I disputed this with montgomery county parking and they still tell me it is valid even though i have receipts showing otherwise. Mobilenow will not help me resolve this. I will have to waste a day in court to resolve this now. I honest to god do not have time to deal with this. This incident has wasted more time dealing with this than i had imagined. Carrying some coins around in the future.

Scanned the meter and the app kept forcing me to pay for 4 hours. I couldn't choose to only pay for 1 hour. I skipped the app and found out there was already an hour on the meter once I put in a quarter. Would have been nice to not have to fumble my way through parking.

Convenient but not trustworthy. I came back to my car and a ticket. Park Now started the meter, but for some reason 37 seconds it stopped it. $45 ticket. It's crashed my phone when I wanted to stop parking. If you don't have enough funds to cover the amount for the maximum hours on the meter, it doesn't let you start the meter, or you get error texts saying it parking failed. But it didn't fail so when the maximum number of hours is up you get a text letting your know you've been charged.

The requirement to set up and fund a separate "wallet" account is bad enough; the fact that this cannot be done from within the app is absurd. Neither ParkMobile/ParkNow nor Pango is so ponderous; you can pay-as-you-go with a credit card, which makes the most sense for people using street parking— that is, people who are temporarily visiting someplace, not residents or regular workers.

Used it for the first time today and everything seemed to go well until I got back to my car and found a parking ticket on my windshield. I guess the parking officer didn't check whatever tools mobilenow provides them (hopefully such tools exist). Unfortunately, I still have to go to the parking authority IN PERSON to contest the ticket. Hopefully, all I have to do is show them my transaction history in the app alongside the ticket and they'll drop it. Whether I'll be successful or not, it's been a pain.

I haven't had any problems. I used to use the website and wasn't charged a convenience fee. With the app, I am charged. Not great, But better than digging for change.

While not a fan of the 25 cent convenience fee, I am a huge fan of the money back option. If you finish before your time, you can actually get some of your money back. You can even extend your time from wherever you are without running back to feed the meter. Great program!

Don't use this app. I used it and still got a $45 ticket and MobileNow totally ignored me. Don't trust the app or the company.

I use this app all the time! I've never had any issues with getting tickets like some other reviewers I've seen. Perhaps it depends on the individual city's Parking Authority as to how good the app functions, but for me here in Bethlehem, PA everything works wonderfully!

Time funded through the app DOES NOT add to the timer on the meter. Don't be like me and pay double.

The app is very simple and does the job.

Great app! Sometimes it doesn't charge when it should, it can lead to a parking ticket, but I've never gotten a ticket.

No more looking for change and it's convenient

A must have app. One of those that makes your life a little bit less complicated. :)

Instead of the additional charge for using the app we should be subsidizing app usage to encourage it

It is a lot of help when you don't have change available

Drains my battery more than any app while parking is active.

Saves me a lot of time. I no longer have to constantly time myself or wait

Never have to go back and feed the meter, can do it right from the app, never had an issue.

Great app, wish i could add and change vehicles in the app without opening the browser.

I wish more municipalities would get this, no more change in the car!

This application works a lot better than parkmobile, not that you have a choice between providers, but I prefer the paying for as much as you need model rather than the try to figure out how much time you're going to be in the parking space version. But the app does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Great! "I need a coin! I need a coin!"... no more.

Even scanning. I rely on it completely.
