An incorrect duration was entered and immediately cancelled which resulted in no minutes being used however to my dismay, my credit card was charged anyway!! They refuse to refund or credit the significant amount - it feels like I’ve been completely SCAMMED so I cannot recommend using this App!! Just use the machine instead. -- Lucid12, 2024-12-27 ### *---- "Edmonton Fail" I downloaded this to use for parking in Edmonton and it doesn’t work at all. I wondered if it was a scam. -- Gingerbreadmomma1, 2024-12-26 ### *---- "2 hour Max" Can’t refill on same “Zone”. Have to move car after 2 hours. Watching hockey game, need to leave to re-park. -- Jq888, 2024-12-20 ### *---- "The worst" May perhaps be the worst and most uselessly frustrating app. Needing an account or membership to park one time in one place is completely unneccessary, especially with how complicated navigating the app is. Would be so much easier if this was just a website. -- Yayessssssssss, 2024-12-19 ### ***** "Great customer service" I added funds to my Wallet in error, contacted customer service and was promptly refunded. -- rodneia, 2024-12-12 ### *---- "Make sure you upgrade" If you make a mistake and pay the wrong spot, then cancel it, your still charged the full amount, unless you pay and have the premium version, then it’s okay -- Steve6969696969696969696, 2024-12-04 ### *---- "Bring back meters" Arrived at a post-secondary institution to attend a presentation. Parking appears to use “HotSpot.” Download app (over cellular). Set up account. Signs IN THE LOT show “HotSpot” as method of payment. Search in app does not show the lot I was sitting in. Search function does not display it either. Went to 30 minutes of presentation and left so as not to get a ticket. Will not attend events at the PSI again, and have deleted account and app. -- Altadel, 2024-11-26 ### *---- "I don’t like it after one month using" This app is extremely unreliable and filled with errors. There’s a high chance it could cause you to lose your money and tickets. I do not recommend using it until the issues are fixed. -- Jacob1990.R, 2024-11-24 ### *---- "Previous app was better" There is no option to extend parking like the old Edmonton parking app had. Yet another reason we do not go downtown anymore. -- bradjvelsink, 2024-11-23 ### **--- "Costly expense" I am not adverse to paying to park when I am downtown; however, I don’t appreciate ending my parking early and still be charged for the full time I anticipated taking. -- PASKWN, 2024-11-23 ### *---- "Significant regression" Whoever got paid off on the City of Edmonton payroll to implement this solution should be ashamed. -- NVBiggs, 2024-11-22 ### *---- "Worst app ever" I added $50 to my wallet on the app, and to do so I needed to link my credit card. Instead of taking from the $50 I already put in, the app keeps taking money straight from my credit card even though I have the wallet function turned on. So I tried to delete my credit card, the wallet still didn’t work so I tried to re-add my credit card. That didn’t work later, stating I need to register it with BAMBORA???? Anyways don’t get if you don’t have to. -- Maid_rox, 2024-11-20 ### *---- "Technical glitch" I have already one student pass with 7 rides left. And idk why it's not showing up. So I bought second pass and still not showing up. This got up after an update. -- Vishwa193, 2024-11-17 ### *---- "Set 2 hour limits." Where I used to park on the weekends was unlimited as long as I was paying, now it’s a 2 hour limit and since there’s nobody else parked on the street I have to go change sides of the street every 2 hours. I could understand if it was busy but it’s not. -- tnoim, 2024-11-16 ### *---- "Mauvaise application" Cette application est très mal conçu. Il s’agit de la pire que j’ai vu. Nous sommes jamais certain que le paiement est bien reçu. J’ai jamais eu une si mauvaise expérience d’achat en ligne. Il ya trop de dédoublements. Ce n’est pas assez facile de faire un changement de véhicule. J’avais effacer mon ancien véhicule de mon dossier et j’avais ajouté l’info pour mon nouveau véhicule. L’agent de sécurité ne voyait pas le changement. J’ai eu ma première contravention de stationnement à vie à cause de cette application. J’ai une très mauvaise expérience client avec cette entreprise. -- Éviter à Sherbrooke, 2024-11-14 ### *---- "Took an unauthorized payment" I was charged 33$ from hotspot parking and I stillhave nothing in my hotspot account. I emailed support, I have no permits or anything that should’ve taken the 33$. -- mar5841, 2024-11-10 ### *---- "Stealing money" Purchased transit passes and I have 149 minutes to use the pass and now the app isn’t allowing me to have 30 minutes with the ticket. It was suppose to convenient now it’s costing more in the end then it should be. -- Cals09, 2024-11-08 ### *---- "Different city use different payment collections" I added funds when I used this in one Alberta city, now my funds don’t work in Edmonton. Blame the city admin for allowing this to happen with their new replacement app. Can’t pay for parking now. -- Upgraded user1, 2024-11-03 ### *---- "No refunds" No refunds on unused time as advertised unless you pay $30 for an annual membership. Plus you are charged a user fee every time you use the app. PayByPhone is far better and cheaper. -- ErzsikeKK, 2024-10-23 ### *---- "Mal servicio" Hoy octubre 9, realice el pago de dos pasajes en menos de una hora y a la final cuando me subí al bus no se veía reflejado y no logré tomar el bus. -- Nenevdjd, 2024-10-09 [View all HotSpot Parking reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## HotSpot Parking Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Canada | Navigation | #8 | | Top Free | Kuwait | Navigation | #225 | | Top Free | Nigeria | Navigation | #245 | | Top Free | Canada | Overall | #296 | | Top Free | Denmark | Navigation | #304 | | Top Free | Philippines | Navigation | #334 | | Top Free | Sweden | Navigation | #359 | | Top Free | United States | Navigation | #361 | | Top Free | India | Navigation | #402 | | Top Free | Hong Kong SAR China | Navigation | #417 | | Top Free | Mexico | Navigation | #470 | ## HotSpot Parking Discovered Keywords -
