Buffalo Roam

Had to type three different credit cards (six if you include my sister in law’s on her phone), before we could get one to actually charge a card without an error. Something is broken in the app but don’t expect any support.

Upfront charge is $10, so even if you are just visiting and park for an hour for $2. I wasted $8.

Worked one time, and ever since, payment fails no matter what I try. Tried troubleshooting everything customer support told me to do, including just paying at the physical meter (which in Buffalo are very often broken or non existent). Eventually was told to just use the website version instead? Thankfully I haven’t received a citation. Works fine on a google phone with the very same info. Fix the iPhone version!

This app is a rip off if you don’t live in Buffalo. You have to put a minimum of 10 dollars onto your account at a time even though you probably won’t be spending that much on a single parking session. They charge a 10 cent convenience fee on all transactions which isn’t a lot BUT it makes it so you have to reload your account if you plan on using their service again.

The app previously worked fine, but the app hasn’t accepted my card payments in probably close to a year. Every card is declined no matter what. Re-added cards, deleted and redownloaded the app, nothing has fixed it.

The app just doesn’t work anymore. It doesn’t recognize money in my wallet, and it says payment failed no matter which credit or debit card info I put in. The problem continued even after deleting, redownloading the app, and resetting my pin. Garbage app from a trash administration.

App isn’t working and the street is a mess. I hope I can get out.

This app is SO frustrating. It keeps crashing. It will not allow a credit card to be saved. Yes - I had to keep trying different cards in the middle of the street in downtown Buffalo!! I just loved having to pull credit cards out in plain view because it kept rejecting card after card. (That’s sarcasm!) Error after error was what I was getting. I finally got something to work. I was 1/2 way back to my car to use cash instead. That’s probably what I will do from this point forward. It just made me feel unsafe.

I can’t pay for parking with M&T bank debit cards. I get error of “payment failure” even though it’s accurate data… not sure if it’s just M&t or others but that’s all I have it’s not a one time occurrence and has happened before when trying to take family to a nice restaurant and couldn’t pay for parking. Embarrassing…. Developers need to look into it.

Just gives me a lovely pulsing Buffalo head logo. Very nice but I actually need to use it to pay to park; you know it’s only job.
