## HotSpot Parking Reviews in United States

### ****- "Decent: One Suggestion"
It’s a good app. It works well and is easy to use. I like that I can get refunds for parking. However, it needs one update. 

Where I park, the street meters have a letter and number. Such as: A 1100, B 1100 and so on. 

From what I can tell, I can only enter the number. It doesn’t seem possible to enter the letter first.
-- S.t.c31, 2024-11-21

### *---- "Garbage app and money grab"
Just get coins or deal with getting a ticket if this is the app you have to use for parking. What a rip off. Not gonna waste my time further explaining everything wrong when all the other reviews do it perfectly well already. Shame on the app makers and all the city’s that use this app.
-- Awk111, 2024-08-12

### *---- "Forced account and $10 to park"
Very unhappy with this app. I didn’t have coins (who does these days) so saw that I could use this app up pay my $1.25 parking fee. After spending way too long setting it up (no auto-fill on Apple platforms, no Apple Pay), it forced me to give them $10 to pay my $1.25 fee. And there is no way to get the balance back. 

Terrible business practice and I will avoid this app in the future. Now I’m worried that I’ve given my credit card to an untrustworthy company.
-- rcope, 2024-07-16

### ***** "Great app"
Only have to put credit card once. 
I personally would need an alarm for when I run out of time , but it has a time stamp in hours and minutes left.
-- Jay Abramski, 2024-07-01

### ***** "Love Canadian Apps!"
By far the easiest and most friendly parking app ever. Refunds for not using the entire time you parked?  Parking rates that don’t break the bank?  We almost feel guilty about how easy and inexpensive this is.

Chicago, you are on notice!!!!!!!!!!
-- Scarlett Puppers, 2024-05-16

### *---- "Worse parking app I’ve ever used"
The programming on this is not user friendly. It is not intuitive and it is not delivering the info you need to know if you’ve paid for parking or not. So you go on your way thinking you’ve paid, but oops! Just kidding, you didn’t. 
If your  municipality looking for a parking payment manager, find a different company. Even the law enforcement employees refuse to use this to pay for parking. 
I’d give it a -5 if I could. This needs to be redeveloped
-- keep it clean, please, 2024-05-03

### *---- "Horrible UI, Blatant Money Grab"
Why on earth does anyone ever decide to use this service for their parking? They force you to add $10 to your wallet to pay $1.25 for parking. I visited a town with them once and now I just straight up lost that extra money. Why can’t you just be like ParkingKitty and take the amount that I need to spend and charge a small fee instead of making me waste money like that. On principal I’d rather get a parking ticket than have to deal with this ridiculous, money-grabbing app. On top of that, the signup process is exceedingly slow, and isn’t coded to work with Apple’s autofill, so I had to manually type everything in. Just bad all the way around.
-- pvanderen, 2024-03-05

### *---- "Stupid"
Forced to download an app and use my email to create a log in to pay a ticket, which exited the app and brought me to my web browser.  Its like they don’t want to get paid or something
-- shrigzbnru, 2024-01-02

### *---- "This is a joke app, right?"
If this is seriously the alternative to coins for parking in your area, as a gen Z, I am telling you to just find coins in whatever corner of your house might still have them. It took me half an hour to try and get a payment method added only to constantly need to repeat the process after “confirmation” it was successful. 

Come one guys, most high schoolers could push out a more functional service off a no code platform in a weekend. Get it together.
-- YourLatestExUser, 2023-12-29

### *---- "PC"
Got this when in Jasper.  Gave up after a half hour.  5G service available and took forever to load.  Talking to the locals and when you mention the app they laugh out loud.  They say it is the joke of the town.  Use the kiosks it will save you a headache at least in Jasper.  Deleting this app NOW
-- Park not, 2023-08-20

### *---- "Please make it streamlined"
Very frustrating experience to park as a visitor. Buggy app and long sign up process just to park my car. Add a guest feature that is extremely easy to quickly park.
-- SharkeySpizz, 2023-08-04

### *---- "They want monthly$"
What a shame and money grab
-- EUGENEMUSIC, 2023-07-23

### *---- "Absolutely terrible"
How any town could pick this service is beyond me. The app is absolute trash, requires you to make an account and add a credit card and even then it doesn’t work properly. But it doesn’t matter because you either need to have a pocket full of change or use this app. Parking apps need to let you get in, add a car, and pay with Apple Pay. This app failed at this.
-- RGSx256, 2023-07-05

### *---- "Minimum Funds Required in Wallet is Theft"
Leave it to Clackamas County to use this garbage app for their parking fees. There is absolutely no reason that I should have to add $10 to my “wallet” instead of just paying as I go. Portland uses Parking Kitty, which is FAR superior to this money-grab and lets you pay for only the amount of time that you’re parked. So I had to blow $10 today to park for an hour. I love being a taxpayer in this county, it’s great!
-- cwdisc, 2022-12-30

### *---- "Wh"
whenever I need to catch a bus the app crashes 😭
-- tombkmackinsgo, 2022-11-09

### *---- "My city isn’t listed."
Oregon, Virginia and Wisconsin were the only three options when prompted to select state.  No New York City?  Who needs help parking more than NYC?  Doesn’t work!
-- parking in Brooklyn, 2022-07-12

### *---- "$10 minimum charge on 1$ parking. Scam"
This app is a scam. 1$ parking for 2 hours and there&#039;s a $10 minimum charge. 

Won&#039;t let me delete info I had in the app and won&#039;t let me delete my profile when I click said button. Whoever in the city decided to use this app for public parking must be getting a cut.
-- n0quarter, 2022-05-03

### *---- "A scam, pure and simple"
There is no good reason at all to require a “wallet” where money is added in $10 increments. This is nothing more than a money grab. The app developers must be paying off some government officials, else there is no good reason why this app should be used by the municipalities that have adopted it.
-- Eryczek44, 2021-08-19

### *---- "Requires monthly fee or $10 minimum"
This is crazy for someone driving through to park once. Also takes like 15 minutes to enter all the requested information instead of just letting you pay.
-- MrFractal, 2021-08-13

### *---- "License Plate"
Won’t accept my PEI license plate.
-- brianboruu, 2021-02-25
