Works fine on the rare occasion it accepts your money, but it almost never does. -- Pxlr20, 2024-12-20 ### *---- "Tech support?" Tech support takes you to static page of FAQ and no option for more. -- ord2lax, 2024-12-13 ### *---- "Doesn’t allow time denominations less than 15 minutes" No reason to not let me add just 5 minutes to my park time. I don’t want to pay for time I know I’m not gonna use, but that’s what they want - more money. Useless, avoid if possible. -- Beatrice Balsevicius, 2024-10-19 ### **--- "Where’s my wallet?" This app is convenient but I’m annoyed that I am unable to set up a wallet and have to pay the service fee every time I use it. The fee is often almost as much as the cost to park. Why isn’t Evanston making the vendor update the app to allow wallet set up after the first use? -- News Fiend, 2024-09-19 ### *---- "Disappearing wallet" Twice in a year I’ve opened this app to find that my account has been deleted and the value of “my wallet” is gone. Beyond the frustration of having to reenter a credit card number on the spot, it takes several interactions with the company to resolve it. -- Onetoothee, 2023-12-18 ### *---- "Parking Apps taking money" My husband and I have both had to re-log in to our Park Evanston and Park Chicago apps, losing our wallet funds. The only way to avoid this happening again is to pay to park each time, not using the wallet feature but paying a 35¢ usage fee each time. I suppose making the wallet feature unusable is much more profitable. -- Evanston Reviewer, 2023-09-20 ### *---- "Super inconsistent app" I regularly try to use this app twice a week. Within the last month, I’ve encountered “network error” twice and was unable to use even after uninstalling & reinstalling. Much easier to use the site to pay over this craptastic app. Do not recommend -- negraham001, 2023-08-30 ### ****- "Not working" I am trying to pay to park, but all I get is a pulsating “P.” -- Pastormvg, 2023-06-13 ### *---- "Worked until the update" It declines every one of my payments and I can’t purchase parking. I have tried to delete cards and add them again to the wallet and that didn’t work either. -- GemmaCake, 2023-04-19 ### *---- "Simply the Worst" This application and the accompanying sidewalk signage are the worst. The ap loads really slow and has too many steps to complete to pay for parking. So many steps, that half the time, I don’t complete the transaction. Not out of mischief but because the ap isn’t user-friendly. Plus, why isn’t there a feature that allows you to end the parking session? Say I pay for an hour but finish my errand in half the time. Why can’t I get a credit? With only one or two signs per block, “meter” numbers are way too small to be legible. Give me a handful of coins and an old fashioned meter to plug anytime. -- nate563367the6357854bestdude, 2023-04-13 ### *---- "Card declines after update" I can't pay for parking bc cards keep declining after the app visual update. I can't pay for parking because of this issue -- Finalruner, 2022-11-16 ### *---- "Terrible and no customer service" I am not able to switch between the wallets of my account, because I had a legacy wallet from long ago that now prevents me from using my current wallet with the money in it. Seems like my money in that wallet has effectively been stolen and there’s been zero response from customer service. Is this the update we’ve been promised forever? Because it is terrible and I’d prefer the app that actually didn’t steal my money. -- Zmimmer, 2022-11-15 ### ****- "Great once you figure out how to use it!" So much better than using quarters in a meter and not having any change. Once you download the app and figure it out it’s good. My husband went to visit his mom an hour and a half from our home and called me to tell me what zone he was parked in (I have the app on my phone) I entered it and he was good to go. Mom was happy too! 😊 -- Midnight.Carm, 2022-08-10 ### ***-- "On site machines do not work" The city claims that their on-site machines work but in my experience at Central St they do not. So I’m forced to use this app and pay a “convenience fee.” -- surferjoe, 2022-04-14 ### ****- "App is easy to use but…." With the weather and the expanse of the city one modification I would make is to be able to move zones if you still have time remaining… -- 4 PITAS, 2022-04-08 ### ***** "Easy to use." Makes parking super easy to use. -- Skochis, 2022-04-04 ### ***** "Updates to App!" I am guessing from all the thorny reviews posted (old, but informative), the developer must have upgraded this app, because as of 01/23/2022 the app works just fine. As for the complaint that a $0.35 fee attaches to lesser time periods, just consider that as 'insurance' against the actual cost of a parking ticket, which is several multiples of that, and stop whining. Paying for convenience is a part of modern life! -- Raging Scotsman, 2022-02-23 ### *---- "Evanston finds another way to rob you" Makes you pay a "convenience fee". Convenience my ... -- criterionislove, 2022-02-21 ### ***** "Super easy" Love it -- Skipmiester, 2022-02-08 ### **--- "Convenience fee is a rip off" Charge enough for parking. -- Travels a lot 9, 2021-11-30 [View all Park Evanston reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Apps Similar to Park Evanston - [Transit Stop: CTA Tracker.](https://apptail.io/app/transit-stop-cta-tracker-pDI/united-states) - [Ventra](https://apptail.io/app/ventra-tEN/united-states) - [onTime Metra, CTA](https://apptail.io/app/ontime-metra-cta-uEN/united-states) - [iParkit Garage Parking](https://apptail.io/app/iparkit-garage-parking-ZIX/united-states) - [ParkChicago®Map](https://apptail.io/app/parkchicagomap-bJX/united-states) - [ParkChicago®](https://apptail.io/app/parkchicago-cJX/united-states) - [Divvy Bikes](https://apptail.io/app/divvy-bikes-OMX/united-states) - [Illinois Tollway](https://apptail.io/app/illinois-tollway-SMX/united-states) - [MKE Park](https://apptail.io/app/mke-park-QyAb/united-states) - [ParkOakPark](https://apptail.io/app/parkoakpark-Fumm/united-states) ## Park Evanston Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/park-evanston-RMX/united-states) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/park-evanston-RMX/vietnam) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
