The whole grifting by oak Island with parking fees is a separate topic. In its favor, the app has remembered me now for a year, my CC and car plates. Many other such apps “forget” these and force me to re-tap them in. -- dhoerl, 2024-07-04 ### *---- "Surfcast via NC beach parking. Sent straight to collections" This app works fine. Confusing. But fine. However the establishment that profits from it are a huge disappointment. If you fully link up they provide ample notification about how long you have until your car cannot be parked anymore. However if you have for some reason received a citation for parking, there is absolutely no notification via tech or standard mail. And if your lucky enough to have received a paper ticket you can pay it. If you wait until the next day the price doubles. If you never received a paper ticket via the wind or under qualified individual who wrote it didn’t actually leave it. Then you will be in collections about if for notification. No paper bill mailed before sent out to collections? What? No email notification even though I received 4 about my 1 hour of parking about to expire. Wow!!! Great ethics. $75 instead of $10 and now on my credit report. All for a 1 hour beach trip that use to be a free parking spot. -- J5bary, 2024-02-16 ### *---- "Don't trust the app the company will scam you" Don't trust the app the company will scam you -- RonBurgundyCS, 2024-02-03 ### *---- "Absolute Junk." Like so many reviewers before, I attempted to register and the app disappeared from the screen when I tapped the register button. Not a pleasant user experience at all. Fail. Maybe the developer doesn’t have quality assurance procedures in place? Maybe they’re not into testing their code? Doesn’t matter. It’s amateur hour with this app. What a waste. If I were the city paying this developer, I’d cancel the contract and demand the developer pay back the public’s funds for this abysmal app. -- StuffAndyMakes, 2023-10-25 ### *---- "A Bad App in Every Way" This app is not intuitive to use and the interface design is amateurish. The worst feature in my view was being forced to create an account to simply use the validation code that my restaurant had provided. Using the code required me to enter the code in one module of the app and then “pay” for (overpriced) parking in another. Three interactions with the app is too many steps requiring too much time. From a designer’s view the app shows little consideration for the user experience and even less care about the app’s interface design. The images colors and typography are bland and the overall design has a Web 1.0 vibe. If you’re at a location and see this app’s icon displayed on the sign, find another (cheaper) place to park. -- Schtreaky, 2023-09-28 ### *---- "App Fails to Work and You Pay the Fine" Expect multiple failures trying to pay for $4 parking when using this poorly written application. But don't worry - if you turn your back you'll get a $25 ticket. And when you send the support team the screen shots of the app failures, rather than reward you as unpaid support for their bad software, you still have to pay the parking ticket. Obviously management has invested more $$$ in the team that writes tickets than the team that writes the software. -- Anarchytec, 2023-09-15 ### *---- "App developed by sadists" Way to make an app that makes paying for a service the most imposible thing I. The planet. Your input validation breaks all password managers so you encourage terrible passwords be user you don’t support cut/paste because every time you touch a field the poorly written program caused they keyboard to launch and go away and launch and go away while you try to tape and hold to select paste. This doesn’t have to be that hard. But they sure work at making it so -- Nomorestars, 2023-08-31 ### *---- "Terrible app" I downloaded and try to pay for parking in Holden Beach. The app constantly froze and did not let me continue in the app. I stood in the hot parking lot entering my information. Finally just scanned the QR code and it worked better than the app. The app did instantly show the my parking purchase. -- GO.by.Bike, 2023-07-31 ### *---- "Awful company" They use employees to write false citations so people have to download and pay on their app. Terrible company just a big scam. -- The ..,., 2023-06-24 ### *---- "Pay violation" Been trying to pay this ticket before 12 am. Nothing is working. I downloaded app put information In choose password word and it goes no where -- #1flamingoqueen, 2023-05-31 [View all SurfCAST by otto reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## SurfCAST by otto Discovered Keywords - surfcast - otto fischer --- ## 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.
