Parking Kitty

Download the app, enter your license plate, the zone number you enter is listed on your parking meter, then you click pay and you are all set (stores your cc info). AMAZING. All those rainy and cold days of running back and forth from your car to the meter and back to your car. And also the new meters have you enter your license plate number which slows things down quite a bit. This app is great. To the few that are complaining the app isn't loud enough at reminding them about their meter - it's called "Alarm" and just set your own timer on your phone for yourself. Remember the best part: pay from your phone and pay as you would like. No more overpaying meters and panicking that you ran out.

This app was recommended to me by a parking enforcement officer, after she saw me struggling to get out of my car, grabbing my crutches; oh, and did I say it was raining?! As someone with difficulty walking, this app is a godsend. For a small service charge, well worth it! I’d rather pay this small charge than fall and get hurt trying to get to the meter. Very easy to set up and use, just follow the prompts. If at an appointment, date, class or game; you don’t have to rush back to your car, just pick up your phone and open the app, put more money in the “meter”, right from where you are.

As of today, Parking Kitty has saved me from being late for two Dr appointments, 3 meetings, and an important coffee date. I can pay for parking while running down the street or waiting for an elevator. And, if the meeting that I wasn’t late for runs long, Parking Kitty lets me know my time is almost up, and then (and this is the best part), lets me add time right from the app -- I don’t have to a) leave the meeting b) go back outside to the kiosk, c) buy another pass, then d) slog through the rain looking for my car so I can e) stick the pass in the window. Parking Kitty has changed my life!

Download the app, enter your license plate and card info, then walk away!! I parked, used the app, and went on my way in less than 5 minutes the first time I used this app. It’s very convenient for being downtown all day as you can wander freely without having to worry about your meter. PK sends you a notification if you’re about to run out of time and it’s easy to specify how much time you want on your meter. It even saves your meter zone codes to find them easily if you tend to park in the same place.

This parking app is exactly what I've been wishing for, for several years. In the age of the smartphone, it only makes perfect sense to be able to pay and extend parking through an app. Now I don't need to worry about running out of time and getting a ticket, and can extend remotely if I change my mind. Once you've entered your car license plate and credit card info, it's a breeze to pay. It's also convenient to have an in built countdown timer to know how much time is left.
